Barbeque Pits, Portable & Profitable
Whether you want to feed people for fun or profit, taking your barbeque on the road is the way to go. You can make your barbeque pit portable and take it tailgating or use it for selling your wares at carnivals, street fairs, flea markets or other gatherings where people are looking for great food. You can make your own barbeque pit portable or you can purchase one already ready to go. One popular brand of a barbeque pit, portable style, just looks like a big wooden wagon, but it gets rave reviews from its owners. If you decide to build your own, make sure to follow professional guidelines so as to not build a potential fire hazard. One environmentally oriented magazine had instructions on building a barbeque pit with items found around the house. By making your barbeque pit portable, you open up many possibilities for menu options when you are camping, going to the beach or challenging friends to a tailgate cook-off. Instead of simply grilling hamburgers or hotdogs, you can grill your meats slow and low to get the full flavor of barbeque, impressing all your guests and winning that competition hands down. If you are thinking about turning your hobby into a business, making your barbeque pit portable is a great idea. You can buy a ready-make trailer with all the bells and whistles or you can start out small and build up. Whether you decide to go big or small, make sure you do your due diligence and follow all safety procedures and local regulations. Once you get the paperwork out of the way, you are free to hit the road with your slow and low. There is one aspect of your barbeque pit, portable or stationary, that sometimes gets overlooked and that is its efficiency. Many smokers are built with walls less than a half inch thick and while they do a satisfactory job, there is a way to make them cook faster, lose less heat and save you money. Insulated walls for your barbeque pit, especially if you are planning on making your barbeque pit portable, is a great way to save money on fuel, whether it is gas, charcoal or wood for a smoker. Your barbeque pit, portable or not, will retain heat, the temperature will remain more constant for even cooking, it results in less work for you as you have to tend to the fire and meat less and the paint on the pit is less likely to chip off, reducing the possibility of rust. If you are thinking about selling your barbeque and are making your barbeque pit portable, you have the potential to build up a nice business. When you offer a quality product, you can charge a decent price and people will be happy. One of the keys to success with a small business is to find a niche and fill it. Barbeque is very popular and by taking your wares on the road, setting up at street fairs or carnivals, you may find yours. So you are interested in making your barbeque pit portable? The great-outdoor-bbqs.com has many articles on great outdoor gas bbqs and charcoal grills.

Food and Wine – Red Wine
By: Fiona Muller
There is nothing worse than having a plate of food with a glass of wine that really don’t go together. This article will attempt to advise you of the different types of red wines available and the sorts of foods that they taste best with.
The rules to consuming wine and drink say that red wine is best served with red meats and cheeses. This is true the majority of the time, but during your adventures with wine you will find that there are exceptions to the rule. This article is just here to give you tips and suggestions which will get you started. You will soon get to know what you like the taste of and what you think works well together.
Let’s start with an easy one. Tapas. Tapas is Spanish for lid. This is because over the years Spanish people used a piece of bread to cover the top of their wine to keep the flies out of it. This piece of bread gradually became more than just a piece of bread, and developed into the amazing array of cheeses, sausages and other delicacies that we know tapas to be today. The best thing to drink with tapas is therefore wine. Wherever possible it should be a Spanish wine. (And if possible, a Rioja.) This is always a good tip: if eating a dish that is of a certain country, it is a good idea, where that country is a wine producer, to drink a wine from that country with the dish. Rioja is traditionally a red wine (although there are white versions available), and this does go really well with the sausages and cheeses that are typical of tapas fayre.
So what about other types of food? Well, if you have a thing for French cooking, French wine works well with it. But what type of French wine, I hear you ask. A French Pinot Noir, which is a great tasting red wine, is a must with game. Pigeon, grouse and pheasant are all complemented with this fine, rich tasting wine. Pinot noir is equally at home with fungi too. Something simple like a mushroom omelette with a good chunk of French bread is excellent with this red wine. And for a classic French dish, go for beef bourgignon, which wouldn’t be the same without a red wine such as a Pinot Noir to complement its richness.
For something a little more accessible in French red wine, there is a merlot. This is slightly more rich than a Pinot Noir, but is great with food too. It works well with slightly more peasant-like fayre: roast lamb, pasta with pesto, or just simply roasted vegetables taste great with this.
And if we are to head further south to Italy, you can’t go wrong with a bottle of Chianti. This red wine works wonders with a plate of Spaghetti Bolognese. Often seen as a jug wine, Chianti is a much underrated red wine, which is brilliant with rich Italian sauces.
So as you can see, there are many different red wines from many different countries. They all work well with a variety of different foodstuffs and I hope this article has given you some inspiration.

How Are Sparkling Wines Made?
By: MIKE SELVON
The world of sparkling wines, or champagne, as it is also incorrectly called, is pretty exciting. Most events that sparkling wine is used for are those of celebration. Celebrations such as parties, promotions and fancy dates many times will use it to mark the event. For this reason, champagne is seen as the party wine. The origin of sparkling wine is almost as fun and interesting as drinking it itself and the process of making this type of wine is exciting as well.
It is a common wine legend that sparkling wines were created by accident. Supposedly, some monks from Champagne, France discovered the method because they incorrectly fermented some wine. When they uncorked it, it had that bubbly appearance and they thought it was spoiled. It actually took years for champagne making to be recognized as a intentional process, rather than a mistake.
The old way of making sparkling wine was through temperature changes. The wine was cooled below fermenting temperature before all the sugar turned into alcohol. It was then reheated later on to the fermenting temperature, which created the carbon dioxide reaction that forms the sparkling bubbles.
Real champagne one only comes from Champagne, France and a group of localized wineries there. Any other winery that claims to make champagne is faulty unless they actually use grapes that are specifically from Champagne.
The process of making sparkling wine has stayed pretty much the same throughout the years. The process has become modernized, but for the most part retains the spirit of the old ways.
The first step in making champagne and sparkling wines is to pick the grapes over a period of time so that every grape is at its ripest. Sometimes, different grapes from different vineyards are used to retain the best qualities of each variety. The grapes are then pressed and stored, usually in stainless steel barrels to ferment.
This is done over a period of at least three weeks, until all the sugar is turned into alcohol. It is then separated from the bits that sunk to the bottom of the barrels and is transferred to other barrels, sometimes wood, to ferment longer or is mixed in with older wines to retain a particular flavor.
For the second fermentation, extra sugar and yeast is put in with the wine to make the bubbly texture. And that is how it is made! There are many different kinds of sparking wines and they are all made a little differently, but the basic process is the same.
So that is a brief overview of how sparkling wines were created and how they are made. There are so many different kinds of sparkling wine, that it would be impossible to name them all in one article. Visit a wine club or indulge in some books for more information. Just remember, a sparkling wine is not true champagne unless it comes from Champagne, France.

Tea and coffee in the summer and in the winter but not only
By: Michele De Capitani
If during the winter we choose substantial foods, cooked, processed, and we drink water as well as beverages such as wine or beer and then close the meal with a good coffee, during the summer months the food becomes in addition to fish a fast and rich salad of fresh vegetables.
The hot refers feel like to thirst-quenching drinks including never lachs the famous coca-cola, but many prefer more natural drinks and that is why tea is greatly appreciated, drinked cold, maybe with ice and lemon and its many variantions flavours from peach tea, to green tea until to arrive to the most refined infusions to blueberry or tropical fruits, also appreciated hot, as tasty teas. The iced tea in its many flavors, is ready now marketed by almost all major distributors of mineral water, but it is equally easy to prepare at home with ready mixtures, instantly soluble.
If the time for coffee break never fails, as in winter and in the summer, if it remains the habit of drinking it at the end of meal or during the day for a charging moment more, in recent years were born many tasty variations making it protagonist ingredient and allow a sweet break at any time of day. So is the simple cold coffee or coffee granita until so-called "Moroccan" where cold or hot coffee combined with milk and chocolate are discovering new tastes playing the combination of hot and cold.
These new drinks approach to coffe also who prefer other and in this way they will rediscover the aroma and flavour.
Wine or beer are always appreciated and if it is usual a food with a suitable wine, the beer is often chosen in the quality that likes best.
When we have dinning with friends, pizza and beer or coca-cola, during holidays such as during a working dinner, is always valid.
Many are then drinks accompanying the hours of our day, perhaps starting with a coffee in the morning and we end with a hot herbal tea in the evening. Every time of day finds its taste with a different drink, hot and delicate or cold and pungent, the choice is for everyone and everyone can find the right flavor to quell his thirst.
