Chistmas Menu Ideas

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

Christmas fudge is so festive and easy to make. Everyone loves fudge so check out this quick Christmas candy recipe made from marshmallow fluff and two kinds of chocolate chips. You can also add in optional chopped nuts to give the candy a delicious nutty texture. Or you can serve it plain, or both. The choice is yours.

Shopping List

  • 1 7oz jar marshmallow cream
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 2/3 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps

  • Line a small baking pan with aluminum foil. As a bonus, chill the pan so that the candy sets sooner once you pour it into the pan (but don’t do that until the end).
  • In saucepan over a low heat, stir together marshmallow fluff, sugar, evaporated milk, butter and salt. Bring the concoction to a full boil, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Remove from heat and mix with both the semisweet and milk chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Stir in the vanilla. Pour it all into the lined pan.
  • Chill the pan 2 hours to set it.

Authentic Asian Cuisine in the Inland Empire

Monday, July 21st, 2008

Finding good Asian restaurants to eat in the Inland Empire is probably like trying to find a clean city street without a bum sleeping on it in the middle of the day in Riverside. Sounds impossible, but there are a few authentic Asian places to eat in the IE. I’m not talking about your typical American / Chinese places like Pick Up Stix, Panda Express, or even PF Chang’s. Those places or more for general audiences and people who might not know what real Asian food places are. However, there is a group of people living in the Inland Empire who would like to break out of their shell and try more authentic Asian foods.

Now the Inland Empire cannot compete with the likes of Rowland Heights, Garden Grove or any other Asian populated cities in Southern California, but not everybody has the time nor the money to drive all the way out there in the first place, especially with gas prices rising. The cost of gas doesn’t out way the cost of food no matter how good it is.

What the Inland Empire needs is a website that is dedicated to listing authentic Asian style restaurants in the area. Users can give a synopsis, review, cost, and even a recommendation on the restaurant if they wanted to. This site would surely be a hit if it ever does come to fruition. The site needs to be trendy and an attention getter, but also very user friendly. A website like this should be designed and developed by this Inland Empire web design company.
