1. Location: Do you want to place your wine cooler in a living area or in a utility area? There are pros and cons for both areas. If you place the unit in a living area, it will become part of your home decor; therefore, the unit you choose will need to operate quietly with minimal vibration, and it should also be attractive in appearance. A thermoelectric wine refrigerator meets these requirements and is a better choice for a dining room or kitchen. If you decide to place the unit in a utility area, like the garage or basement, your main concern will be efficiency. Because most utility areas experience extreme temperature fluctuations, you will need a unit that has a strong compressor.

2. Bottle Capacity: This is an extremely important feature. You need to think about the size of your current wine collection and how much you anticipate it may grow in 5 to 10 years. Wine coolers can store anywhere from 6 to 260 bottles, so you will want a refrigerator that will accommodate an expanding wine collection.

3. Wine Racks: There are several types of wine racking options available, including built-in plastic racks, wood or chrome plated slide-out shelves, interchangeable chrome and flat wire shelving racks. All of these racks are designed so that your wine will be preserved and will age properly. Built-in racks allow you to store more bottles, while slide-out racks permit easy viewing of and access to your wine.

*Play “Pin the stem on the strawberry.” It is played just like “Pin the Tail on the Donkey” except you pin the stem on the strawberry. Use a large piece of poster board or butcher paper to draw a large strawberry. Then cut our a stem to fit and you’re ready to play!

*Play “Find the strawberries”: Buy strawberry pieces of candy and hide them around the house. Give each child a basket and see how many pieces of candy they can find to fill their baskets!

Cajun cooking includes a lot more than mere lagniappe from the pantry or the spice cabinet. Here are some fascinating facts about Cajun cooking:

1. Cajun cooking has very few exact recipes.

These recipes are often focused on taste factor that is more oft based on an individual’s decision. That means no measurements are fixed.

2. The mood of the cook decides the taste.

Try cooking a Cajun dish 4 times in a day and you shall find that every time it shall taste a bit different. The hidden spice of these dishes is the mood of the cook. Cook it happily and dish turns out ‘yum’. The moment you cook angrily, it shall become hot & spicy and might lead to the rage of the ones who eat it.

3. Present it with a ‘Bam.’

Remember Emeril Lagasse. He often relates some experience or story with his dishes and whenever he presents them, he does it with a “Bam!” This kicks off some special taste buds among the people and they relish the food all the more.

4. Meet with the person’s heart & soul.

Cajun cooking believes that good food is all about meeting their heart & soul. Love, affection & a feeling to serve are the hidden ingredients of Cajun cooking. This also explains as to why some southern cooked dishes are called ’soul food’. Remember the New Orleans delicacies – Well the place itself is located in the Deep South.
