Good Tips for Waiters
(1 vote, average: 4.00 out of 5)

Written by Patricia Farnham   


Waitress When did tips for waiters become mandatory instead of a token of our appreciation for their great service? That seems to be a concept out there that is alive and well in society. A few weeks ago I was in another state with a group of friends. We had a long day and were starving. We found what we thought was going to be a terrific place to eat dinner. Well, the food was amazing but the service left something to be desired to say the least.

Do you know the waiter actually followed us outside to ask if we forgot to leave his tip? That is something I had never seen before. Now, I will tell you that I do leave a tip most the time if I feel the waiter is trying. But this guy was clearly not involved in what he was doing at all. My friend had a glass of iced tea that was cracked all the way to the bottom of it. How it didn't break I don't know. When I pointed it out to him he took it and didn't say a word.

He didn't come back around for about 15 minutes and it wasn't busy in there at all. We had to remind him to bring her another drink to enjoy with her meal. We also didn't have silverware.

Cook the Most Amazing Mouthwatering Steak
Written by Rhonda J   


The most palatable of all ways to cook a steak is simply to grill it. The best grilling steaks are actually sirloin steaks, but these steaks tend to be a little bit tough. Two other excellent grilling steaks are the T-bone steak, and the porterhouse steak, because the bone or bones in them add an additional flavor to them. Rib-eye steaks also make superb grilling steaks, along with rib steaks. Because of steep prices, filet mignon steaks are not your typical grilling steaks. The best grilling steaks are those that are thick rather than thin, because thin grilling steaks tend to form an interesting crust around them, which can interfere with how the steak is cooked. There is absolutely nothing that is comparable to a barbecue experience on a warm summer day, grilling steaks with your friends and family.

What Do You Know About White Wine?
Written by James Copper   


Think of a traditional European meal and a tall glass of chilled clear wine, set on a table under a blue Mediterranean sky comes easily to the mind. From a humble beverage made by farmers trying to preserve grape juice, wine making has come a long way through the centuries. The world over, no sophisticated meal is complete without a wine list and white wines are a favorite as it is available as dry, sweet and semi-sweet selections. A bottle of wine lends an aura of mystery and grace to the meal while pleasing the palates of the most health-conscious.

Wine making is a complex and many layered system with the wine-makers often dedicating their entire lives to perfecting the process. Super-premium wines are the most expensive of all food available today, and outstanding vintages dominate the highest end of the food market and are a collector's item. Wines from the best vineyards may sell for thousands of dollars a bottle. White wines actually cover a wide range of different tastes and colors. White wines range from the clear whites to golden yellows, and taste that vary from dry to sweet, they are the wines that are defined by their light color, body, and complex taste.
