In college, my roommates and I rented an efficiency apartment. We all were pretty much broke, and it was the cheapest place we could find. Unfortunately, the apartment did not have an oven or stove. We were stuck using our over the range microwave ovens to cook most of our meals.

We decided to make easy recipes where we could use our over the range microwave ovens, to make a delicious and healthy dinner. To our surprise our method worked and dinner was cooked to perfection!

I found this delicious recipe for Easy Sesame Pecan Chicken at http://southernfood.about.com/od/microwaveovens/r/bl50910e.htm:

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup dry sherry or dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar or white wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh minced ginger
• 1 medium clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 4 boneless chicken breast halves, without skin, sliced in narrow strips
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into narrow strips

• 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions:

Wine should be served chilled, not warm (unless you’re drinking red)!

Any wine-o will tell you the “right” way to drink of glass of wine, and you’ll hear a different method from each of them. There’s even bickering over the style of glass each wine should be enjoyed in. But something that doesn’t seem to be in debate is storage. Keeping your wine stored at the right temperature can help to prevent the horrors of skunking or spoiling. Keep your wine collection in peak condition with a wine storage refrigerator. You don’t even need an expensive, castle-like wine cellar to keep your wine in top shape, a wine storage refrigerator from FFEMAX.com will get the job done right!

FEEmax has wine storage refrigerators from 10” to commercial models. Our wine storage refrigerators can fit nearly any location and keep your wine fresh and in Peak condition before the peak condition – from hotel rooms to corporate suites FFEMAX has you covered!

Pick the smart option and install over the range microwave ovens.

FFEMAX offers a wide variety of over the range microwave ovens, from brands like Avanti , LG and GE. An over the range microwave oven also adds a splash of color and upscale class to your home, apartment, hotel, office, bed and breakfast - or any other place.

Let’s face it - the summers are just getting hotter and the nights are staying warmer. It seems there is no end in sight. I’m sure you’ve been in a situation when you’re stuck to your leather couch, drenched in sweat. I definitely think its time to live on the cool side! The competition for products to help you stay cool indoors is getting stronger. I think it’s time we all start enjoying summer and not fearing its arrival.

There have been times when I was in an air conditioned house and all you felt was the room shaking, and a sudden, strong wind blew across the room. Whatever happened to the silence of staying cool? It seems that companies are investing in power rather than designing sleek and efficient air conditioners. Not to mention the old school application of the thermostat knob. I think its time we break out of the trends and into the “Good Life” of air conditioners.

I know I’m all for improvements in products, that is why I suggest looking at the most modern and efficient LG Air Conditioners out there. It seems like they took a poll of what people expect in an air conditioner and effectively placed every suggestion into the manufacturing of their products. Talk about innovation, the LG L1006R is one of the most advanced systems. For our benefit they incorporated 3 cooling speeds, 12 hour timers, 4 way deflections, and even a remote control so you can stay planted on your couch while watching your favorite TV show!

I can’t say enough about LG Air conditioning, but when you’re in the market for a high quality AC unit, check out there selection. As they say, “life is good” with them!

Choosing the right wine for a dinner party or a romantic evening can be intimidating, but it shouldn’t be.This is wine, not rocket science, so make it easy to enjoy with these basic tips:

• Don’t go heavy and light. If you are planning on having finger foods like little puff pastries and crudités and dip, make sure you stock up on lighter wines. If you are having a hungry man’s feast of steak and potatoes, go with heavier bodied wines.

• Want to impress your hostess with a gift of wine? Don’t worry about what she is having for dinner, just bring a good wine, preferably one you have tried and enjoyed.

• Start light, end heavy. When you are pairing a different wine with each course, begin the dining experience with a lighter wine, and build up the intensity as the meal moves on. End with a nice sweet dessert wine, which is usually the heaviest.

• Don’t be shy: ask your guests what their favorite wine is in their invitations. There is nothing worse than having a bunch of red wine lovers and serving only white.

• The old standby - white with white, red with red - doesn’t always apply. There is nothing better than mixing stuff up. What’s wrong with pairing a nice chicken dish with a lighter red wine? Nothing. Go ahead be creative and daring.

So when you feel like going to your favorite winery to stock up on some of your favorite vintage for your guests (or yourself), nothing is better than having a place to store the wine correctly. Invest in a high-quality wine storage refrigerator. It keeps your wine at the perfect temp, and has pre-programmed temperature settings for different types of wine.
