Vegan Cookbooks.

By on March 25th, 2008

My favourite vegan cookbooks are Donna Klein’s Vegan Italiano and Vegan Kitchen. I love them because I’m not a fan of soy and other vegan meat replacers, and I LOVE European cuisine. I was wondering if anyone has tried any of the “A Vegan Taste of.” cookbook series by Linda Majzlik . I would like to try “A Vegan Taste of France” and “A Vegan Taste of Greece”, but I can’t find any thorough reviews on the books. If you’ve used one, does the author use a lot of soy. And how are the recipes in general. Easy to make. Hard to make. Tasty. Hrm. Any input is appreciated.

Why do I witness habit of spitting here & there in this Indian sub-continent only.

By on March 18th, 2008

It’s very natural habit of the human being of spiting. When one sees something nasty, ugly, distasteful etc. one spits. Sometimes I’ve seen the cricketers or soccer players spit in mid field because of their tiredness probably when their mouth go dry or something, But I’ve visited London, Birminghum, Belgium, Italy and few other European countries where it’s very rare to see people spit. Yet in this sub-continent: India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal—-here people spit on public place so often. Is this a sign of geographical something. How do the Westerners, Europeans express their actions after facing any nasty or ugly thing. (say for example, your co-passenger vomiting. or returning from a vacation, you see at your kitchen a dead rat melted.waakkkkk.)

morning folks lets start with a few for the children.

Dealing in Information: How To Build Kitchen Cabinet

Dealing in Information: How To Build Kitchen Cabinet

I set up my table in the area of home improvement contractors to sell my pamphlets called “how to build kitchen cabinet frames”. Some of the people at the Atlanta Jazz Festival still remembered me from my father’s business. I’m surprised by that because it has been so long since I actually worked with him.

I was selling my pamphlets called “how to build kitchen cabinet frames” at a local store last week. Someone approached me for the brochure for my dad’s business. I gave them three brochures. My dad called me that night very excited about his newest client.

It seems that the people that had approached me while I was selling my pamphlets called “how to build kitchen cabinet frames” had hired my dad. My dad got a contract to make and install cabinet doors in all of the new houses in a new development. I was very excited for him; this will be his biggest client in years.

I was very happy for my father. He asked me to stop selling my pamphlets called “how to build kitchen cabinet frames” and help him to complete the order. He hadn’t asked me to work with him in years. I felt much honored that he asked for my help.

I decided that I would work for my dad until this job was complete. I still sold pamphlets called “how to build kitchen cabinet frames” at a local store and also online. I was surprised that when I started working in the workshop it seemed like no time had passed since the last time I had worked there.

I built frames for the cabinet doors my father was building. I made them just like I instruct people to make them in my pamphlets called “how to build kitchen cabinet frames”. I’ve sold thousands of pamphlets called “how to build kitchen cabinet frames” and no one has ever complained about the information contained in them.

It took me six weeks of working without a break to build those frames for my dad. I finished just in time to go to my favorite festival. This festival is actually one that I work while I am on vacation. I don’t usually sell very many pamphlets called “how to build kitchen cabinet frames” at the Marin County Fair. I go to this fair because I like it.

Another fair that I try to get to every year with my pamphlets called “how to build kitchen cabinet frames” is Celtic Fest Chicago. It is a party that rivals St. Patrick’s Day if you ask me. I have the best time in Chicago drinking beer and selling pamphlets called “how to build kitchen cabinet frames”.

KITCHEN DESIGN Basic Terms To clarify the

By admin on November 12th, 2007

KITCHEN DESIGN Basic Terms

To clarify the terms which are used in this quick reference, please refer to the following definitions:
This is the main body of a kitchen cabinet.
CASE - This is a decorative frame at the front of a kitchen cabinet and is typical for North America.
Variations by manufacturer in kitchen design construction may purposely have a clearly

FACE FRAME - visible face frame that is a part of the kitchen aesthetics. European design and styling of
cabinets (frameless cabinetry) typically do not have a frame.
The kitchen cabinetry door panel is the element of kitchen furniture largely defining the
aesthetic design of a kitchen. It can have any conceivable look from modern to traditional.

DOOR - In this quick reference a (19mm) thick door panel is presumed.
The FREEDOM COLLECTION refrigerators are intentionally designed to be equipped and
APPLIANCE DOOR delivered with custom made appliance door panels that perfectly match the end-user s
installed kitchen cabinetry. Typically the normal appliance door panel thickness is expected

PANEL- to be (19mm). However, a thicker appliance door panel can be accommodated if such
door panels are used on the end-user s kitchen cabinetry or in order to emulate the look of
the visible face frame (addition to the door) on the refrigerator as well.

NICHE - The niche is the cavity where a FREEDOM COLLECTION refrigerator is installed. The width
of the niche (18 ,24 ,30 ,….) is dependent on the appliance. The niche depth is equal to
(Installation Cavity)
the depth of the kitchen cabinet (case+face frame). It does NOT include the thickness of
the cabinetry door panel. For proper planning of the niche depth, please refer to the
respective chapter on page 9 in this quick reference.
The main idea of the FREEDOM COLLECTION is, that you can simply replace any standard
size kitchen cabinet with a refrigerator column. You can create a suitable niche by leaving a
respective gap between two tall cabinets. Alternatively you may create an enclosure, that
the appliance will fit into. However this is not the original design intent (basic idea).
When planning the installation niche, it is important that the side walls are completely flush!
Please make sure that there is not any kind of face frame at the front of the niche. If, for
some reason this is not the situation, please make sure that the depth of this face frame
(furniture return) is more than 4 (100mm) so that the appliances can be properly secured.

Principles for good kitchen design & work simplification

By admin on November 8th, 2007

Principles for good kitchen design & work simplification

Keep items within the users reach.
Store frequently used items between knee and shoulder level.
Avoid over stretching, bending or reaching.
Install user friendly cabinets, such as pullout pantry, walk-in or wheel-in pantry, lazy
susan corner cupboards, pull down cupboards, pull out baskets, pot drawers.
Reduce the distance to travel or move items, or have sufficient space to slide items.
Provide benches suitable for sliding, kitchen trolleys to move items.
Minimise fatigue
Have seating available to enable sitting whilst undertaking meal preparation.
Allow sufficient turning or circulation space.
The Australian Standards
Adaptable Housing AS 4299 1995 and Design for Access and Mobility: AS 1428.2
- 1992 recommend the following with regard to kitchen design. However different
users abilities need to be considered specifically. A kitchen designed for a wheelchair
user can be more easily modified for an ambulant person than the other way around.
Work Surfaces
Bench height between 750mm to 850mm for a wheelchair user.
Under bench clear space for wheelchair access of 820mm minimum length, and
between 500mm to 600mm depth.
