St. Patrick’s Day Party Food Ideas For Kids by Dee Power

Keep in mind that kids will eat more than just pizza. A lot of children I know love Cesar salad but if you tell them it has anchovies, “fish,” in it, forget about it. So always try to embellish or create a new name for a ish. For example broccoli with cheese sauce, try using the name “Lucky the Leprechaun’s clover trees with melted gold sauce” or if you are using minced herbs over food for a green color effect, tell your kids it’s “Lucky the Leprechaun’s magical clover/shamrock flakes. St. Patrick’s day party food for kids can be fun to make and to eat.

If you’re a little unsure about picky kids always serve one dish you know is a hit. Or serve sauces & dips on the side. Be creative. Think Shamrock green and pot of gold yellow.

Here are a few ideas for St. Patrick’s day party food for kids to get you going. Most adults will love these tidbits too.

Cucumber Bites * Use a vegetable peeler to cut lengthwise strips of peel down four sides of large cucumber leaving some visible peel, making a square shape. Cut cucumber into 1 inch chunks. With a melon baler scoop out a hole in the middle of the cucumber to create a bite size bowl. Be sure not to go to deep you want the bottom to stay in tack. Fill with garlic and herb cream cheese, or dill dip.

St. Patty’s Vegetable table tray * Cut up broccoli, cucumber, celery, green bell peppers, snap peas, and zucchini use ranch or dill dip. For extra color sprinkle minced parsley or dill in and on top of dip.

St. Patrick’s fruit tray * Use green grapes, sliced green apple, sliced kiwi, balled honeydew melon. Use tooth picks to pick up fruit and dip into vanilla yogurt or key lime pie yogurt.

Clover Dip * Use your favorite spinach dip. I like Knorr’s vegetable recipe mix. Serve with vegetables, crackers, or French baguette bread slices

Irish Deviled Eggs * Hard Boil eggs. Gently crack shells of the eggs, by rolling on a hard surface, but don’t remove the shells. Place half of the eggs in 2 cup of hot water, two tablespoons of vinegar and 20 to 40 drops green food coloring. The dye bath should cover the eggs. Let the eggs sit in the dye bath for about 10 minutes. Take out one egg and remove the shell. The white of the egg should now be green and veined with darker green where the dye got through. If not let the eggs stay in the dye bath a little longer. Use your favorite deviled egg recipe. For the other half of the eggs, add chopped green herbs to the egg yolk to turn it green. Or add a few drops of food color to the yolks. I like a simple recipe for deviled eggs just adding mayonnaise and mustard to the yolks.

Use your imagination and your food at your St. Patrick’s day party for kids will be a huge success.

Wine Glasses: Wine Glasses, Since Time Immemorial to Fishs Eddy by Allen Franklin

Every one knows that French are very romantic,some times I wonder what makes them so? is it the beautiful French women, predominantly Mediterranean climate or some thing else? I think I have found my answer in the French wines, which are renowned for their superior quality. And since wine is considered good for heart and heart in turn is related to romance, so by applying some associative logic we can conclude that a good wine plays a vital role in romance. Wine always figures most prominently in a menu prepared for a romantic candle night dinner. But a good wine served in a wine glass which is not worthy of beholding such an exquisite Elixir prepared from grapes or worse in a glass which is not a wine glass at all, All your money and efforts spent in putting up a good wine for your evening date would go waste. It will be a memorable evening indeed but for all the wrong reasons.

Wine glasses have long cherished history since the past 2000 years,during the early years wine was served in glasses only to the extreme royalties or highly esteemed guests since glass was such a precious material at that time.The wine glass acquired its current shape in the form of a goblet with a base ,stem and a foot since 1500 AD.But even during that time wine glasses were considered as precious as the wine vessels made from the precious metals ,it was only during industrial revolution that glass became cheaper and wine glasses became more popular and widely used.

Fishs Eddy have come up with a wide range of high quality wine glasses, they all come under a specially designed category for them called “Stemware”. For red wine connoisseurs Fishs Eddy gives them a choice to either go stemless with the Wine Stemless Red or can try the stemmy beauty the classy Perception Red wine. For a perfect romantic interlude with your sweet heart you can pour the contents of your favorite white wine into a wide array of Fishs Eddy wine glasses. Few Examples of such wine glasses are Wine Stemless Wine, Perception White Wine and Wine Vina White.

For us Fishs Eddy has these triangular wine glasses, the two Martini Citation wine glasses of varying sizes and qualities.

So let me go for my martini in my Martini Citation wine glass neither shaken nor stirred.

Orthorexia Nervosa: From Health Food To Death FoodBy David Mark

As more and more people not only become interested in healthy eating, switching their diets from animal protein to vegetarian, vegan, or even raw foods, there is a minority of people who not only get carried away with their new found dietary plan, but in fact fall into the grip of the world’s strangest eating disorder – Orthorexia Nervosa.

What is Orthorexia Nervosa?

You’ve seen those people (and maybe you’re even one of them) who searches and seeks for the food consumption plan that is just right and will ensure health, happiness, and longevity. Today it is raw foods and a few years before it was macrobiotics, whatever way of eating there is the Orthorexic will chase after it in hopes of finding some inner sense of salvation.

So what can be so bad about a little consciousness when it comes to selecting foods? Its true and it is proven that organic food and foods with less preservatives and hormones (i.e. less meet and more vegetables) are healthier, but someone who is suffering from Orthorexia obsesses over their food choices to the point that this obsession isolates them socially. Orthorexics want everyone to know about their new found diet and “sought after conversions” are par for the course. In a sense Orthorexia is sort of like making obsession with healthy eating into a religion. There is a guilty feeling when food choices aren’t kept meticulously and a hope of “redemption”when it comes to health.

Of course, not every health conscious person who seeks to better their dietary plan is suffering from Orthorexia Nervosa, but it is clear that every Orthorexic person expresses the disorder through the guise of “needing to eat healthfully.”

What are the Signs of Orthorexia?

Orthorexia Nervosa is a very hard eating disorder to identify, partly because the person suffering from it tends to manage as far as health is concerned. Most Orthorexics recede from social interactions, partly because they become so obsessed with “healthy eating” that all of their conversations focus on food; ultimately distancing themselves from friends and family.

Also, those who have Orthorexia Nervosa tend to feel guilty when they break their “diet”even in the slightest. They often times set up very strict “religious” rules for themselves, which they struggle to keep, forcing to become even more obsessed with their food choices. Besides their feelings of guilt they also tend to look down on others who do not share their vision of the “perfect way to eat.”

Treatment of Orthorexia

Orthorexia Nervosa, like many other eating disorders is an outcome of many different intertwining circumstances. These include psychological, physiological, physical, genetic, and social. Treatment often depends upon what level someone who has Orthorexia is at. Most times treatment consists of both therapy and food choice changes. The Orthorexic needs to retrain their brain and body how to eat. The most important thing to remember when dealing someone who fits into the description of Orthorexia Nervosa, is that more often than not they will feel that they are eating just fine and that their lives are just fine, be prepared to acknowledge that they might just be an over zealous “health nut” instead of someone suffering from Orthorexia. Never the less it is important to be aware and informed of various changes in the concerned party’s food choices.
