Marie Antoinette supposedly said, “Let them eat cake” but you can say let them eat dessert with a dessert of the month club membership. Cake is great and many people enjoy it, but, there are many other desserts and with a dessert of the month club gift you can give or receive a different dessert every month.

There are two types of dessert of the month clubs, one offering freshly made desserts delivered ready to eat and one that sends you the mixes and you create your own desserts each month. The Dessert of the month club offered through Amazing Clubs delivers freshly prepared professional desserts every month. These are gourmet desserts that range from pastries and decadent rugelach to tortes and fresh baked pies.  Each of these will serve from eight to ten people, depending on the serving size.

The Amazing Clubs dessert of the month subscriptions come directly to you from professional bakeries and dessert professionals nationwide. This club offers a one hundred percent guarantee that it will be loved by the recipient.

It may well be that soda pop is mankind’s worst ever discovery. If you drink soda pop, especially the caffeinated kind, it could kill you, as shown recently when a man’s death seems to have been associated with his over consumption of diet soda. But most especially, it can go right after your kids’ health. Pop gives the average teenager approximately 12.5 teaspoons of refined sugar a day. It works out to that much more than what our US government has determined people need in unrefined sugar per day. Also, your kid and you are using soda pop, in all probability, as a food. In 1977-78, teenagers drank twice as much milk as soft drinks, but by 1994-96, it had turned around; they were drinking twice as much soda as they were drinking milk. And such consumption is linked with lower intake of nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals and fiber.

1787 Chateau Lafite | article provided by http://www.cocktailsandwines.com

When an enterprising young man named James Christie opened his sales rooms in London in December 1766, his first auction consisted of the estate of a “deceased nobleman” containing “a large Quantity of Madeira and high Flavour’d Claret.” The records don’t relate how much these delightfully described “high Flavour’d clarets” fetched but as the whole sale realized a grand total £175, it is a sure bet that if Christie had known that two hundred years later, in 1985, his now famous auction house would sell one bottle of wine for £105,000, or $160,000, he might have held back a bottle or two to enrich his future heirs.

This bottle was a Bordeaux, a 1787 Chateau Lafite, and, according to The Guinness Book of World Records, 18 years later it still is the world’s most expensive bottle of wine. Its great age alone would have ensured a good price but what gave it its special cachet, especially to American collectors, and ensured the record price tag were the initials Th.J. etched in the glass.

How much stock do you put into restaurant reviews? Does it matter what other people think about restaurants that you want to try? Boy, it sure does to me! Every time a new restaurant opens up in town, I ask around to see how good it is. If I over hear someone talking about one that’s been around a while, I open my ears a little wider and learn as much as I can before giving the restaurant a try.

Some people don’t care about reviews, they just jump right up and dig in. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Be experimental and give it a try. If you then feel like leaving a review, go ahead, get online and tell everyone what you think about the restaurant.

When it comes to Italian restaurants in South Bend, Indiana, you can go online and find lots of listings with lots of reviews on each one. Some are good and some not so good. If you’re not sure about the reviews you read about, again try the restaurant and then write you own review.
