18 or 21?

liquor stores are basically the age limit… you can’t even legally enter most liquor stores if you are under age, let alone work there, which is different than bars, where you can serve alcohol if you are underage.

I would say in the US its going to be 21. The exception is if you are a son/daughter of the store owner, at least when I was a child (ND) a friend worked at his father’s liquor store when he was like 16, and that was legit and on the books, at least according to the friend and his father.

Hey there, so I need to make a healthy lunch. (I’mc hanging my dieitng ways.) anyways, I have the following. : Pea pods, baby carrots, Spagehttie squash, green squash, peppers, tomatomes, bread, and chicken breast. ANy ideas?

Girl, you can experiment quite a bit with those.
You can cut them in bite size pieces and bake them with olive oil, garlic, black pepper, some balsamic vinegar, and even cheese (cheese is healthy). Just bake the vegetables, not the chicken.
Then saute the chicken with spring onions or just plain onions and garlic. You can add a little soy sauce to it. If you have it, add basil and cilantro, and even fresh oregano to the chicken. Adds flavor and also healthy.
You can have it with any bread of your choice.
If you want to have it with rice (brown), saute the vegetables and chicken with tomatoes and onion.
Oh I can go on and on…….

——

you can have a stir fry!!

yummy, and healthy!

Try looking up some Thia recipes on the web.. very healthy culture, or so I have seen.

Also, you can back some chicken and steam some Pea pods, and leave the rest for some snacks (remember to limit your carbs.. bread)

Sounds like a great lunch though! lol

i had cold pizza…. not to healthy

Modern society has incorporated coffee into a lot of social activities. When a guy asks a woman out, he asks her to have a cup of coffee with him. It is also customary that the morning beverage be coffee. A cup of coffee is also normally offered to a house or office guest. Most business meetings are also discussed over a cup of coffee. Such is the importance of this beverage that it is now normal to find a coffee shop in each street corner.

With the ever-increasing popularity of coffee and coffee shops it has been observed that the market for coffee paraphernalia and equipment has also skyrocketed. Since the need for coffee and coffee equipment has increased, more and more businesses are jumping to the bandwagon by banking on the coffee craze.

One such company is Capresso which is a privately held company in the United States. This company caters to the coffee-drinking public by providing high-end coffeemakers, grinders, espresso machines, and other kitchen electronic equipment.

The founder of Capresso, Incorporated was Michael Kramm. This company was founded only in 1994. Kramm is actually a native of Germany yet he went to the United States to try to develop the Krups market in the U.S. Kramm also serves as the president of Krups USA. He was also the one to introduce the American consumers to high-end European style coffeemakers. This very move launched the market for the U.S. in-home espresso. This market is now estimated at $200 million in retail.

One of Capresso’s most famous products is the Jura-Capresso automatic coffee centers. These coffee centers are marketed in the U.S. (a joint venture with Switzerland’s Jura AG) as automatic cappuccino and espresso units (Capresso being so-named, by Kramm’s wife for 35 years, as it means cappuccino and espresso put together).

This joint venture came into existence in 2003 when Capresso, Inc. has started to market Jura Capresso automatic coffee centers with Jura AG of Switzerland. Jura dominates the global market when it comes to the premium segment of automatic coffee centers. Over forty countries share this great product.

Other high-end products include the programmable coffeemaker called Coffee TEAM which comes with a built-in burr grinder in the shape of a cone. Another quality product is the Capresso MT500 a stainless steel lined drip coffeemaker.

Coffee drinking has never been this grand before. In fact, there is nothing simple about making and serving coffee anymore (unlike you’d like to settle for an instant coffee!). With these latest innovations in coffee drinking, no modern man should go without a Capresso product at home!

Making delicious dessert without having to compromise your religious beliefs is actually not that hard. There is a huge variety of food that has been approved as kosher so it’s not hard to use them as substitutes. Even chocolate has already been made kosher. When making a velvety and lovely chocolate cake, replace the chocolate ingredient with kosher chocolate. You can even melt them and use them for frosting. You can also use kosher chocolate for chocolate mousse or chocolate pudding. If you are an advanced baker, why not make kosher Black Forest Cake or tiramisu. It’s up to you.

Parve chocolate is another great substitute for making small bite-size snacks such as chocolate chip cookies or chocolate truffles. When baking, it’s advisable to use smaller pieces of chocolate instead of big blocks of them because the melting process will be longer causing the chocolate to be burned and come out bitter.

Gourmet chocolate coins are perfect for your baking needs. They are small and can easily be melted down in seconds. They also have a wider classification of flavors like Belgian chocolate and dairy milk as compared to the regular sweetened chocolate. And what’s more, kosher gourmet chocolate coins are also available so you don’t have to sacrifice flavor. The next time you are in the grocery and want something special for dessert, why not try kosher chocolate to make your special meals complete.
