Winter Grilling

If you're fired up about grilling outdoors-not just during summer but beyond into fall and winter-these tips will make it easier while kindling a spark of creativity for your efforts:


• Apply a light coating of cooking oil to your cooking grids before grilling, to prevent foods from sticking.

• Cook similar portion sizes together, so that they all cook evenly.

• Use tongs to turn foods on the grill.

• Never pierce foods while they are cooking on the grill, as this will dry them out.

• On foods such as pork chops and steak, slit the fat strip to prevent the meat from curling during cooking. This will prevent you from spending too much time over the grill when it's chilly.

Wine Growing Areas And Conditions

Wine ProdcutionVines blossom in two fairly small bands of latitude about 30-50° North and 30-40° South of the equator. This is because the climatic conditions required for raising high quality vines are strictly defined.

1. Cool Winters
Vines need cool winters when they can "sleep" and gather strength for the production of the subsequent summer's crop. However, it can't be overly cold, or the roots of the vine will be injured by frost, and the plant will die.

2. Warm, Damp Springs
Spring must be warm and damp (though not too wet) so that the plants can bud and produce the small blooms that will ultimately become bunches of grapes.

Healthy GroceryGetting a good round of grocery shopping done can make or break your dieting efforts for the week. Be sure to pick out healthy foods that are easy to pair with other healthy, nutritious foods that will let you stretch a buck while promoting proper eating choices. It is very easy to succumb to purchasing a box of cookies or ice cream when you see the SALE sign so be sure to arm yourself with a well thought out shopping list to focus and keep your attention on the task at hand.

  Aim to stick to the outside perimeter of the grocery store for the majority of your purchases. The outer “square” of the store is where you will generally find the fresh produce, meat, and bakery sections. Limit your purchases from the inner aisles which usually contain the boxed and pre-made goods. For the purposes of a healthy grocery list, most of these items will be off limits. The best thing to do is avoid the fresh bakery where you will see some of your favorite foods as well as any aisles that you know have compromising foods there. Another tip, don’t go grocery shopping when you are hungry, it just leads to temptation and bad purchases.
