All sorts of foods are huge in Japan! Generally speaking, if it’s neat, new, and/or cute most Japanese I have known will love to try it. Case in point- I saw an origianal Iron chef with an Itialian restauranteur and also know there is a bagel shop that does a killing in profits because it is one of the few bagel shops in Japan. If you are cooking for a Japanese guest, don’t worry. If you are trying to impress, just make sure your food has good presentation, as well as being tasty. I can’t imagine any other reason for asking.

1 3/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – cubed
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon chili powder
salt to taste
1 cup yogurt
salt to taste
2 tablespoons garlic paste
1/2 tablespoon garam masala
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons ginger garlic paste

Directions

To Marinate: Place chicken in a nonporous glass dish or bowl with lemon juice, 1 tablespoon chili powder and salt. Toss to coat; cover dish and refrigerate to marinate for 1 hour.
Drain yogurt in a cloth for 15 to 20 minutes. Place in a medium bowl; mix in salt, garlic paste, garam masala, butter, chili powder, ginger paste, lemon juice and oil. Pour yogurt mixture over chicken, replace cover and refrigerate to marinate for another 3 to 4 hours.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

5 To Make Sauce: Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in garam masala. When masala begins to crackle, mix in ginger, garlic paste and green chile peppers. Saute until tender, then stir in tomato puree, chili powder, salt, garam masala and water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring in honey and fenugreek.
6 Place chicken in sauce mixture. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink inside. Stir in fresh cream.

or do you need to rent them separately?
um, isn’t this asking?

Hi. It depends on your venue.

If you are having this at a hotel or another banquet facility, then chances are the venue provides the linens. This will be in your contract.

If you are having it at any other site: VFW Hall, etc., then chances are the venue does not have linens.

Some caterers will provide linens, but this would most likely be in addition to the food costs. But….then again, some MAY provide linens. Again, this would be in any kind of contract.

If you have not already chosen a venue or a caterer, then just ask up front once you decide to book!!

As you are probably finding out with weddings, not all places are the same! Some vendors will provide things such as linens included in their package price. For others, these things will need to be purchased separately.

How does a restaurant, such as Red Robin or Olive Garden establish menu prices? At what markup on average do they mark up meals? Also, what vendors do restaurant chains such as these contact for food offerings? I am attempting to do a school project and don’t know how to find this information or some general information on restaurant’s and their prices.

Thanks

Oh, a LOT of factors

1) What are my competitors charging?

2) What are my costs? (material, labor, shrinkage, spoilage, etc.)

3) What are my desired profit margins?

4) Portion size?

5) What consists of a typical meal? (Can we make up for low profit here with higher profit on something else, like dessert, drinks, etc.?)

In general, restaurants mark up their food beyond material prices by at least 500% to account for labor and overhead. I think Chef Anthony Boudin (sp?) has some books that may reveal something on this subject.

I have had my orginal belly button ring in for a couple of months and it is pretty much healed and I was just wndering how exactly do you take it out? It is round and it has a little ball and the guy who pierced it said it might be hard to take out. And how long do you have to wait to take it out?

Hi Netters,

Before removing your old belly ring, make sure that the fresh piercing is properly healed.

You have to be able to move the belly ring and play with it without experiencing any pain or unpleasant feelings and the holes of the piercing have to look normal color and not crusty.

Don’t haste, because belly piercing usually takes a whole lot more time to heal and if you rush you rick to get it inflamed or infected.

Check the first link for your reference.

Regarding the opening pliers – check the second link for a pair of pliers. I reckon you can order them on the Net and try to open the ball closure ring yourself. It shouldn’t be that hard!

All the best,
Rob

I’ve been kind of anti multiculturalism, because I think it’s an odd idea to move to another country and keep a separate identity from the people of that country. But with the beginning of winter, I’m beginning to wonder if there’s something in it. I’m not talking recolonisation in the sense of British imperial India, but just large-scale migration to Pakistan.

My plan is: get a load (ie thousands) of IT and call-centre workers, and all move out to Pakistan en masse. We could all move to a certain part of, say Islamabad to begin with, so it would be white-only. Later on we could move to other cities and create mini-Britains there too. We could build churches there, and nightclubs. We could take up all the work that Indian IT and call-centre workers usually do, with the advantage that there would be no communication or cultural problems between us and the people we were working with back in the UK. We would benefit the Pakistani economy by bringing in all this new work (because of course we’d be paying taxes) and additionally we could employ poor Pakistanis as servants, so we’d be contributing further to the economy.

Once we’d established ourselves out in Pakistan, our presence would mean that there was a pull for other British people to come out – to work in British shops providing British food and stuff for the ex-pats. We could keep the colony fresh by importing husbands and wives for our descendants from the UK.

Gradually as our numbers increased, we could start asking for special laws to put in place to cater for our different culture. We’d support England in the cricket and England/Ireland/Scotland/Wales in the rugby. And we’d refuse to join the army if it was involved in any sort of conflict with a christian or a western power (this would include India, as they’ve got a lot of christians there).

I think it would be pretty sweet – England in the sun!

Do you think anyone would mind?
"Your idea is from hate."

In what way is my idea from hate?
"Pakistan already has an excellent communication system, try coming here once and see for yourself. "

Lol, well working in IT or call centres would be pretty pointless if you *didn’t* have an excellent communications system!!

I’m not talking invasion, I’m talking migration. Immigrants have a lot to offer, you know, you shouldn’t be so close-minded.
"Your dumba$$ Islamophobic analogy"

Good – this is the sort of feedback I want. Which part of my plan is islamaphobic? because I want a workable plan, and something that was perceived as "islamaphobic" just wouldn’t be workable….
I could be a Pakistani European Christian!! I’m really excited about this!

Pakistan already has an excellent communication system, try coming here once and see for yourself. Also, we were the world’s 3rd fastest growing economy 2004-2006 until we were forced to fight insurgents in the Northwest due to rising NATO casualties in Afghanistan. So, no, we don’t need your help.

Furthermore, Pakistan is ranked on one of the world’s top 10 largest militaries. Invaders will be bombed back to the stone age.

O n I have another bottomline for you: Overseas Pakistanis will take over Britain before the British take over Pakistan. 15% population of Bradford has already been taken over. Hahaha!

I ate Indian food two times now and on both occasions I experienced anal mucus and discharge from the anal region, is it unique to Indian food?

Why is the function of this mucus? Is it the Indian’s intention?

I would feel better about it if I knew their medical reasons, the restaurant didn’t disclose it’s purpose and function. It’s difficult removing it from the handle.
Cleaning products??
Why are the Indians doing this to me?
I’m not racist.

You’re probably just sensitive to the spices. Usually this happens when you find the food spicy to eat as well. Was eating it comfortable, or difficult for you? If it’s difficult to eat, don’t force yourself. The mucus membranes in the mouth that are sensitive to the spices are similar to those at the other end.

If not food from now is ok.
and urls are very much appriciated.
PLEASE HELP ASAP
recipes and food names are great:)

They taste pretty much identical to me. Besides the fact that the chicken tikka is boneless, what are the differences if any?

they use similar spices, and in some ‘restaurants’, probably the same.

Tandoori chicken is a whole chicken, marinaded overnight, cooked on a spit in a tandoor oven. Chicken tikka is bits of chicken, coated in yoghurt and spices (and sometimes besan flour) and cooked in a tandoor. Both should have spices, garlic and ginger in a full fat yoghurt base, with finely chopped coriander leaf.
