Why does Acai get a bad rap?
Feb 8th
There are many reasons why acai and acai juice has a bad reputation right now – there are only a few reputable companies that sell quality acai products. Although most of the scammers have left the industry, there are still acai products on the market that are basically water with a little bit of juice in them. Look for all natural, all organic, acai.
Sushi Shirts
Apr 14th
Are you serious? People really sell sushi shirts? There is an entire section on Cafepress for this and I am just perplexed that people would buy sushi shirts. I know it is popular but I just can’t see people walking around in sushi shirts or other apparel. There’s a lot of them on etsy too, which really blows my mind.
Oh well I guess the popularity of sushi is more than I am aware of.

Important Differences Between Maki Sushi And Other Variants
Author: Serena Pulman
The most common type of sushi is the Maki sushi. People enjoy maki sushi all around the world. Maki sushi can be made with a large variety of ingredients, unlike the sashimi or nigiri sushi. Maki sushi is therefore suitable and a good sushi option for vegetarians and for those who do not wish to eat raw fish.
People who wish to try raw fish for the first time, can overcome their hesitance by eating maki sushi. Maki sushi deceives a person into eating raw fish as it hides the appearance of fish. This is one of the most loved sushi all over the world.
There are many different variants of this wonderful dish owing to centuries long evolution. As the world turns into a global village the sushi versions multiply. Different gifts of nature are used in producing new types of sushi. There is one thing common in all. That is vinegar rice and the fish is sashimi. Their combination results in traditional sushi and when rolled, produces Maki sushi.
Things to Remember
You should also be skilled enough to make sushi. Although sushi looks easy enough to make, but you need to practice for perfection. You may expect that your first few attempts would only get you ume sushi. You should also try to make the best sushi rice, as that is the key ingredient of sushi. In addition to that, you should try to present sushi in a nice way when you serve it.
By buying a set of sushi, sushi pans and pots, you should be able to make and present good sushi. Sushi should be served in an artistic way so it looks appealing to the eye.
Sushi is a form of art in itself, therefore the visual aspects of art should be remembered while making sushi and to present it in the right way.
Sashimi is served as an appetizer, before serving maki sushi. It is raw fish sliced very thin and is served with a variety of garnishes and sauces. Sashimi is usually followed by Nigiri sushi, which is a dish made with sushi rice and fresh fish, sliced and pressed on top. The sushi courses are broken by a course of pickled ginger which helps clean the palate for the next course and allows you to individually taste the courses and enjoy your meal.

Mr. Coffee Versus Bunn-o-Matic – The Coffee Maker Battle Heats Up

Mr. Coffee Versus Bunn-o-Matic – The Coffee Maker Battle Heats Up
By Jon Butt
For coffee lovers, there are few things more appealing than being met in the early a.m. hours by a perfectly brewed pot of coffee. That first cup sets the mood for your entire day, doesn’t it? If it’s brewed up right, you’ll feel that extra zing in your step from morning till night. However, if that first cup is too strong or too weak, too hot or not hot enough, you quickly find yourself spiraling into a first-class coffee crisis.
So, how do you avoid a coffee catastrophe? It’s simple, buy the best coffee maker on the market made especially for your coffee-drinking needs! Sounds simple enough, right? But, who makes the best coffee maker today? In other words, who is the All-Time Champion of Coffee Makers?
Ladies and gentlemen, we’d like to welcome you to our title bout of the day where two mighty coffee making titans – Mr. Coffee and Bunn-o-Matic – will meet in the kitchen to crown the undisputed coffee making champion of the world.
Introducing The Coffee Maker Contenders
In the green corner, we have Mr. Coffee – long-recognized as the undisputed champion of home coffee makers. Affordable with many models to choose from, Mr. Coffee currently has over a dozen models on the market retailing from between $24.99 to $89.99. With makers serving up between one and twelve cups, he’ll be hard to beat. In fact, Mr. Coffee is in great shape with an amazing array of features and settings, including single serve, speed brew, switch, programmable, and thermal models.
In the red corner, we have the Bunn-o-Matic – king of the commercial coffee making market. Found in restaurants and chosen by baristas around the world, Bunn-o-Matic is known for his professional-grade machines. With a limited variety (e.g., currently seven models, with one single serve and 6-10 cup models), judges will need to pay close attention to the details to see what kind of punch the Bunn-o-Matic packs. One thing is for sure: with a starting price of $89.95, Bunn-o-Matic definitely tips the scales as a higher-priced option for home consumers.
For those of you who are new to the clash of the coffee makers, here’s what the judges will be looking for during the brew-off:
Cup size
How many cups can your coffee maker cook up (say that five times fast)? Most brands today have single-serve and multiple cup models, with 10-12 cups being the upper limit for most home coffee makers.
Timer
If having your coffee pre-made for you when you wake up is important, then a timer is going to be key! Timers allow you to set the time when your coffee maker will start doing its thing and brewing you up your beloved coffee.
Space
If you have unlimited counter space, then this criterion might not matter much to you. But, for those of you for whom counter space is at a premium, deciding upon a model that fits your space as well as your dιcor might be an important consideration.
But, to truly separate the two competitors, our judges will also be looking closely at the following four areas:
Ease of Use
This is self-explanatory – at 6 a.m., you want a machine that is easy to use!
Durability
As you know, coffee makers aren’t the most pampered of home appliances. They can get pretty banged up with daily use. Choosing a hardy model is essential.
Ease of Cleaning
Starting with a well-maintained and cleaned pot is one of the best ways to assure yourself of a great cup of coffee day after day.
Style
Yes, in the end, many of us like our coffee makers to look cool. Sure, while it’s true that they are simply functional machines, we want these machines to represent our love for coffee.
The fight is on between the top coffee makers in the world. So, who wins the home coffee maker battle? Bunn-o-Matic definitely has significantly higher priced models and less of a home-based selection, but is known for superior performance and durability. Mr. Coffee has a wider range of home models to choose from and most of their machines are significantly less expensive than even the lowest priced Bunn-o-Matic.
In the end, it’s a personal choice for you to decide. Remember, a great cup of coffee ends up being more than your coffee maker. Quality water, beans, and the proper grind for your machine all make a big difference in whether your coffee maker and first cup of coffee are winners. Good luck!
