ParticipantLast night was one of those nights where everything just falls into place. The boys at https://www.cbchinesegrill.com/ are fired up for summer and a long awaited trip to Boner’s BBQ by Turner Field was finally here. The Braves were going for a 4 game sweep of the Brew Crew so we figured Cinco de Mayo and all…let’s do this.
We parked at C.B Chinese Grill which is about 100 yards from the Ted and ordered up some Q: ribs BBQ, mexican corn, 420 baked beans, a pork taco and a pulled pork sammy were on the menu tonight”https://www.cbchinesegrill.com/best-gas-grill/“. We hit the liquor store next door for beer, it’s BYOB right now but they’re working on their liquor license, and went up to the HUGE roof top deck which was built for camera crews during the 1996 Olympics. You can see everything from up there, from the stadium all the way to the city skyline.

ParticipantBuilding a Sustainable Kitchen
With the money crunch many are feeling the pinch in the current economy, and more people are opting for dining in, instead of out. This means the kitchen is getting a lot more action than in previous years, and is quickly becoming the hub of most homes.
Accordingly, the kitchen is the room in the average household that produces the highest amount of waste. Leaky faucets, electricity-sucking appliances and even cabinet doors produced with harsh chemicals or rainforest wood all make negative contributions to our planet. The responsible solution is found in sustainable kitchens.
Certified wood
When most people think about their kitchen, it’s the metals that come to mind first. However, wood also makes up a large part of a kitchen, from floor to ceiling and all the surfaces between. Cabinets, shelving and worktops are often made of plywood, particle board or fibreboard held together with formaldehyde-based adhesives that contribute to air pollution inside your own home.
The finish on whole-wood cabinetry also often has a toxic chemical (VOC) base. Therefore, to fully detox your kitchen, make sure all the wood components are sustainable, beginning with the forest. Our replacement doors are only crafted from FSC- and PEFC-certified timber sources, meaning that the lumber comes from well-managed and sustainable local forests. There’s no mahogany shipped via a fossil-fueled vehicle from the depths of the rainforest. Being aware of the source for kitchen timber and how it’s sealed is an essential step in assuring that your kitchen’s wood is good.
Energy-efficient appliances
Range, refrigerator, dishwasher and microwave are just a few of the appliances needed to complete the modern kitchen. Each of these also requires a significant amount of energy to operate. Hands-down, gas ranges are more efficient than electric, especially those that operate with an electric ignition instead of a pilot light. Conserving energy also means preserving your pay cheque, so investing in energy-efficient appliances is as much a financial benefit as an environmental one.
For dishwashers and refrigerators, look for models that are certified by Energy Star. This programme rates the efficiency of home appliances outside the kitchen too, and a certifying label assures consumers that they are saving money and energy at the same time.
Creatively reuse, reduce and recycle
Sustainable kitchens also often rely on creative design elements. Sinks and faucets can be salvaged and reused from previous kitchens. Installing an aerator on older faucet models also reduces water waste by mixing air with the stream to maintain water pressure, while using less water volume. Handles for cabinet doors can also be salvaged or ‘mixed and matched’ to create a unique DIY feel. Regardless of the kitchen vibe, trade in old halogen bulbs for fluorescent or other energy-saving lights to cut costs and waste.

ParticipantThis is one of the simplest and tastiest recipes which can be prepared in just 20 minutes.
The entire secret lies in its cooking method. Red mullet fillet is required to be cooked with due diligence as it can’t be overcooked. This is because if it is overcooked then the entire dish will lose its delicious taste.
Attention must be paid while cooking vegetables in order to obtain a mouthwatering dish as a final result. Red mullet fillet is categorized as a round and white colored fish but provides rich and satisfying flavor than other ones which have high fat content in them.
Its taste is sometimes compared to the flavor of shellfish. Mainly, two types of red mullet fillets are used in Britain. Just like their name, both of these are red in color but one has an appealing mottled body while the other one has thin yellow colored band which runs around its body.
Both of them are small and have weight of around 500gms, liver of this fish is a true delicacy in its own. It is even more delicious when grilled and served with lively sauce like salsa verde. It can also be cooked, baked or shallow-fried.
