Preparing copycat restaurant recipes is an excellent way to enjoy your restaurant favorites at home and a good way to save a little money. But, surprisingly, it can also make your future trips to your favorite restaurant even more enjoyable. Let me explain.
I love to go to Romano’s Macaroni Grill. From smell of the open fire grill as I open the front door to the music of the singing waiters as I set down at my table, I love it all. Unfortunately for me, on my very first visit I tried the Pasta Milano and fell so deeply in love with it that I cannot bring myself to order anything else. I try. It all looks so good. From the brick-oven-cooked Pizza Margherita and the Shrimp Portofino to the Vodka Rustica. From the Lobster Ravioli to the Boursin Filet, I am dying to try it all.
One of the most enjoyable ways to enjoy your home bar and wine furniture is to have a wine and cheese party. To make the party a big hit, however, requires creativity and planning. In planning your party, your first step is to select a theme. For example, do you want wines and cheeses from all over the world represented? Or, do you want wines and cheeses representing just one region, California for example. For the sake of putting our focus on a particular theme, let’s use wines and cheeses from all over the world.

If you’re like most people you don’t want to eat bland foods that taste like cardboard. If those are your only options then dieting and eating better are likely not to be your top priorities. You want flavor and taste. There are not too many people who can go eating the same things for the rest of their lives that have no flavor.
What is that fizzy brown drink the guy across the café is so smugly sipping? It’s not coffee (so boring) it’s not a Chai Latte (so passé) it’s Kombucha and it’s the latest miracle drink to achieve platinum status in the (big money) beverage market.

Everybody knows coffee contains caffeine. And soft drinks. And chocolate. But did you know that headache medicine contains caffeine? What about ice cream? You are probably ingesting more caffeine per day than you realize. Just because you limit yourself to two cups of coffee or one soda doesn’t necessarily mean that’s where the consumption ends.

There was amaretto, irish cream, brandy, vanilla and chocolate flavored coffees sold in small quantities to local specialty roasters. The aroma to these early flavored coffees was slightly “medicinal.” The taste of flavored coffees was not all that enjoyable.
