I had always wanted a waffle iron. At the age of six, I started
asking for one, every Christmas and every birthday. I dreamed of
making large, golden, square waffles that were slightly crispy
on the outside and light on the inside. I got my first wok when
I was six, my first ice cream machine a few years later, but
sadly, no waffle iron.

already registered in at least one place. Can you guess what the
first item I picked was? That'...

Hunting season opened the week before thanksgiving in Virginia.
Since we are in North Carolina, why does it matter when hunting

the season. He killed 2 deer already and having visited over the
holiday weekend, we brought some home to freeze. I feel very
fortunate to have a resource (Dad). It's better than store
bought and cheaper too.

Everyone has heard about the importance of keeping the level of
fat in the diet to a minimum. While some fat in the diet is
necessary, most Americans eat far too many fatty foods. Fats do
play a vital role in the diet, including in the absorption of
important fat soluble vitamins like vitamin A, vitamin D,
vitamin E and vitamin K. These vitamins are stored in fatty
tissues, and dietary fat aids in this process.

I have briefly introduced two most classic and expensive Chinese
cooking ingredients (shark fins and bird's nest) in my previous
article. Here I'll continue to introduce some other special

nest, people can only dream about in China unless you have
plenty of money and don't know where to spend.

Have you ever wondered how to cut a cake? I have had a lot of
practice. When I turned 16 and requested a Spider Man sheet cake

rectangles and then served up the master piece. My family all
refused to eat stating lack of presentation skills. Since that
time my skills have, thankfully, been refined. Here are tips to
cutting a round layer cake.
First select a knife you are comfortable holding. A long slender
knife works best. Begin the firs...
