Light and sweet? Dark? Iced? What flavors do you like added, if any? Do you prefer to brew your own coffee, or buy it from somewhere? Where’s your favorite place to get coffee from?

Me? I’m a big fan of Iced Blueberry Coffee. I had it for the first time from Dunkin Donuts when they introduced it. Yummy. My favorite hot coffee is just home-brewed Folgers Gourmet Vanilla Biscotti with cream and some Splenda. ;P

Restaurants and hotels in the Chinese capital have been asked to take dog meat off the menu during Olympics and Paralympics due to concerns that the canine dishes might be offensive to Westerners and animal rights activists.
“Gourmets with a special predilection for dog meat will be disappointed if they come to the Chinese capital in the coming two months,” a Beijing Tourism Bureau official said.

The Beijing Catering Trade Association (BETA) has issued a circular forbidding all the 112-designated restaurants from providing dog meat dishes during Olympics and strongly advised other establishments to suspend serving the canine delicacy until September.

“If a customer orders dog meat, the restaurant staff should patiently suggest another entree,” Xiong Yumei, the Bureaus Vice-Director, was quoted as saying by official Xinhua news agency. “Conflicts should be avoided.” Canine dishes are popular among the Korean community in Beijing, as also in Yunnan and Guizhou restaurants.

Apart from being a delicacy, dog meat is also believed by many Chinese to be an effective element to lower blood pressure. Some also think it boosts “sexual prowess”.

Animal rights and environmental activists claim dogs are brutally killed with clubs and knives in China’s dog meat industry.

Peter V asked:


Anyone got an idea for a good, thin crust, upscale pizza?

I was thinking, sun dried tomato and basil, mozzarella bocconchini and chorizo for 1 small pizza… and the other, white truffle oil, asiago cheese, crimini mushroom, portobella slices, and top with italian parsely.

Thoughts on any good, upscale/gourmet pizzas you’ve tried or would like to try.. would be much appreciated.
That sounds really good Kasia… sort of a Greek/Middle Eastern version of a pizza. thanks
Corvato- You may be right… perhaps sweet italian sausage may be a little less bold than chorizo.

Hello, I have been cooking Christmas Eve Dinner for my Family for the past 4 years, I started to do so after my MOM lost her job (after 30 + Years). That year she was only going to do sandwiches due to lack of funds… Anyway That was the year I took over!! AT Mom’s,Every Year was the same old Christmas Eve dinner, Ham, Mash Potatoes, corn…etc “Boring”. So for the past years I have been introducing New…Yet Different foods to our Christmas Eve Dinner Table. Foods such as: A Seasoned Ribeye Roast, Asian Lamb Chops, Filet Beef, Wellington and various pasta dishes…. Anyway, I am trying to think of what I can make this year for the main coarse.. something different… but pleasing to all !! Gourmet Style!!
