Tips On Choosing A Good Dessert Wine

2009-04-17T03:26:00.000-07:00

For people who love sweets, a meal is not completely satisfying unless it finishes off with a sumptuous dessert. Some of the most popularly sought after desserts include cakes, pastries, fruits, pies, nuts, sorbet, breads, pudding and chocolates. While they are great on their own, their flavours can be enhanced and complemented by the perfect wine. But how does one know what wine to match which dessert?

A good dessert wine serves to bring about the best in every dessert. The popular notion of wine is different when it comes to dessert wines though; this is because dessert wines are especially sweet. As such, a dessert that doesn't compete with the sugariness of the wine is a good option. For instance, dark chocolates that contain more than half of cocoa ingredients in it go well with a dessert wine. The basic guide then in choosing matching desserts and wines is to get to know how different dessert wine selections taste like.

Sauternes wines from France are made from Sémillon grape, Sauvignon Blanc, or Muscadelle grapes. These wines almost have a yellowish or golden colour and they have a citrus taste. The Gewürztraminer and Tokay Pinot Gris wines in particular are great with chocolates and other intensely flavourful afters.

Meanwhile, in Portugal, the port red wines are known for their enticing flavours and alcohol content. They come in tawny, ruby, and vintage varieties. Tawny ports have a suave nut-like tang to it that go well with toffee and milk chocolates. In the meantime, vintage ports are so zesty that they are best with banana cream pies, dark chocolates, and walnuts. All the port varieties are generally enhanced with pumpkin pies, cheesecakes, chocolate mousse and cobblers. Similarly, Vin Santo from Italy has a nutty essence that is likened to a hazelnut. The sweetness is not that much that it can be taken with almond cakes, almond shortbreads, and biscotti.

Interestingly, there are wines that are manufactured from grapes that are covered with ice on the vine. In Germany, they are appropriately called ice wines and they have a balanced, sugar-enriched and invigorating acid flavour. Consequently, ice wines can be paired off with desserts like apples, peaches, pears and hazelnuts. Thinking about ice wines might make you imagine ice cream with dessert wine together, but unfortunately, the cold can mute the taste buds that sorbets are not to be served with sweet wines.

Muscat wines are for individuals who enjoy munching on raisins as they are crushed from grapes that are typically made into raisins. It likewise has this rich aroma and a taste that is very similar with mild fruits such as peaches and apricots. To achieve the palatable temptation of Muscat wines, the dessert should be composed of smooth Tiramisu, milk chocolate or white chocolate.

All these wines are highly recommended, however, tasting them on your own can prove to be delightful for you and your guests. This experience then can be used until wine and dessert matching becomes an addition to your expertise.

Save Time During Holidays By Using A Chicago Flower Delivery Service

2009-01-15T17:45:00.000-08:00

Holiday enjoyment can sometimes be marred by the fact that we tend to exhaust ourselves trying to get into the spirit of the season. With such repeated exposure to this kind of "fun" then getting 'funned out' in the process, soon we learn to dread the coming holidays instead of actually looking forward to them. Thanksgiving is particularly becoming stressful to a lot of homemakers because this is one visible sign for the coming of one holiday right after the other and yes, these holidays extend all the way to the celebrations for next year. To others, the mere thought of buying gifts to the people around them during the Christmas season is taxing enough; and that still does not include actually trying to buy the said gifts, having them wrapped and eventually distributing them.

It would be fair to say that most of us find ourselves pressed for time during the holidays. This one reason alone already creates a somewhat toxic environment for us. This stops us from actually enjoying the season and ultimately enjoying the company of the people we treasure. Fortunately, there are ways to circumvent this problem. We can actually save time during holidays by using a Chicago flower delivery service to our advantage. After all, flower giving isnt totally exclusive to the season of hearts. Here are some tips on how you could do so, especially if you (and your intended gift receivers) live in the city:

1. Indeed, we should be thankful for a lot of things during Thanksgiving especially if we get invited to dinner in someone elses home. That means we dont have to slave away in the kitchen the whole day preparing food for 6 (translation: 12 to 18 stomachs since this is the time people really indulge.) Unless the person inviting you over specifically says that its a potluck affair, bringing in an extra basket of food may not be appreciated (especially if they went through all that trouble for you.) So instead of stressing yourself over what dessert or wine you should get at the store, have a Chicago flower delivery service come to your aid by bringing in flowers as your token of appreciation. Of course, it would be considerate indeed if you asked the homemaker what kind of flowers (or even décor) she would prefer. You could even mention beforehand that you want to donate the centerpiece of the Thanksgiving dinner table.

Now, if you are the homemaker, and you do have these people coming over, you could save time on decorating by having flowers delivered to your home. You could even ask your invitees to bring in flowers instead of wine or other food treats because you already have the menu pat down.

2. Ah, Christmas. This is the time of the year that you literally spend every waking hour trying to put together gifts for loved ones and other people who you would want to share a little something with. But the question remains: what do you get them? The answer: send them flowers. You could literally save time during holidays by using a Chicago flower delivery service. Send your parents flowers with a special food gift basket through your favorite florist. You could donate flowers with cake and wine to your office Christmas party. The real beauty of this all is that you could literally just choose from a range of products, give the florist the names, addresses and dates you want the package delivered and its there. No more worrying about gift wrapping, or having a separate courier deliver the goods.

Showing Your Spouse How Much You Care With The Help Of A Floral Boutique

2009-01-14T17:43:00.000-08:00

Jewelry, clothes, shoes-all the money can buy. You would always want the best for your spouse. Knowing how much you mean to someone, and vice versa, is one of the greatest feelings in the world. They say that marrying someone is easy, its how you keep the relationship alive and working it out is the hard part. Being average and ordinary in a relationship is unnecessary; you always have to be spontaneous to make room for growth and excitement. Why not express yourself with flowers?

Flowers, most especially roses, are equated with love and passion. The foundations of a great relationship are also love, understanding, and enthusiasm. The couples who have grown together almost have one secret: staying attracted to each other, even after years of being together. Flowers shouldnt just be given during special occasions like celebrating birthdays, promotions, and the like. They should also be sent as surprises for the one we love. Imagine waking up to breakfast in bed with matching flowers to start your day, or getting to work and finding a bouquet of pink roses at your table waiting. Flowers represent strong feelings for someone, and are always reliable gifts. Women adore flowers because they make them feel more special, loved, and appreciated.

For more special celebrations, like the more romantic Valentines Day, and the more intimate wedding anniversary, why not opt for flowers paired with a carefully planned out dinner by the candlelight? Or if youre too busy, just write her a greeting card, include her favorite chocolates, and send her the perfect flowers just to show and make her feel how lovely she is and how much you treasure your relationship.

Flowers are not just for saying how appreciative you are of your partner. Sometimes, saying sorry can also be expressed with flowers. If ones not sure how to explain yourself and just want to convey how sorry you truly are, flowers is the way to go. No matter how heated the argument is, flowers say that you are willing to work things out and would want to stop having arguments with your spouse.

Flowers can now be sent anytime, anywhere. Thanks to the flower boutiques blossoming everywhere, one can now order fresh flowers and have them delivered the same day. Believe it or not, these simple moves can strengthen a relationship. Giving flowers to the one you love will never go out of style, because of the various kinds available in flower shops. Flowers of exquisite kind can also prove how close someone is to your heart. Scouting the flower boutiques for the most hard-to-find types of flowers require more effort and are naturally more expensive, than the regular roses, tulips and daisies.

Lastly, flowers not only express gratitude, regret, love, and passion. They also show how you truly care for your spouse. Flowers can say I miss you or I care besides the usual I love you. And sometimes, the feeling of being missed is so powerful to every relationship.

The Tasikmalaya history

2009-01-01T07:42:00.000-08:00

Before the capital of the Sukapura Regency was located in Tasikmalaya, this city was one afdeeling that diperintah by a person of Patih Lurah (Zelfstandige Patih). At that time his name of Tawang or Galunggung. Often also his mentioning was united to Tawang-Galunggung. Tawang was the same as the "paddy-field" meaning that the wide place was open, in the Sundanese Language significant "palalangon". There was the other opinion that explained the Tasikmalaya meaning, that is coming word "tasik" and "laya", meaning that "keusik ngalayah", his intention to much sand everywhere, reminded the outbreak incident of the Galunggung Mountain in October 1822, that sprayed out hot sand to the side of the Tasikmalaya City. Second information mentioned that Tasikmalaya came from "Tasik" words and "Malaya". Tasik in the Sundanese language meant the lake, sea and Malaya meaning that the name of the row of mountains in the Coast of Malabar India.
According to the Book of Pangeling-ngeling 300 Ngadegna Kabupaten Sukapura years and information R.Yudawikarta, that Sareupeun Cibuniagung was father to Entol Wiraha that married Nyai Punyai Agung, a heir from the Sukakerta Country, and Entol Wiraha was appointed to Umbul in Sukakerta. Wirawangsa time, Putra Entol Wiraha to umbul Sukakerta, Regent Wedana was in Priangan held by Dipati Ukur Wangsanata.
On his services, the three of them were appointed to the great official in his place was their respective. Ki Wirawangsa was appointed to the Agung Sukapura Official with the Tumenggung Wiradadaha degree during 1674. R.Tg. Wiradadaha I that performed a service in establishing the Sukapura Regency died and was buried in Baganjing Sand. R.Tg. Wiradadaha I was father to 28 people and was replaced by Putra him that was third, R. Djajamanggala with the degree of Tumenggung Wiradadaha Ii, as well as was known also as Dalem Tambela that died during 1674. As his replacement to become the regent was his brother, R. Anggadipa, Putra the four R.Tg. Wiradadaha I, because Putra Dalem Tambela that was numbering 8 people were not yet enough the age to change him.
The R. Anggadipa I name after becoming the regent was replaced to R.Tg. Wiradadaha III that governed from 1674 to 1723. In the period the progress of the religion was emphasised very much, because of the existence of the suggestion from Sjeh Abdul Muhyi in Pamijahan that became the pioneer of the Islam Religion in the Sukapura Regency. In holding the government, R.Tg. Wiradadaha III was helped by his four sons who were their respective to have the distribution of the work. The existence of the distribution of this work made R.Tg. Wiradadaha III was known as Regent Sukapura richest. Moreover had most 62 people, so as more was known by the name of Dalem Sawidak.
During 1900 Regent Sukapura XII, R.T. Wirahadiningrat that governed from 1875 until 1901 got the Oranye Nasau Star, from the Dutch East Indies government that made his name be known as Dalem Bintang. In the year also the Sukapura capital was moved from Manonjaya to Tasikmalaya. As for that carried out the move of the capital was his replacement, that is R.Tg. Wiriaadiningrat, Regent Sukapura Xiii. Ada several transfer reasons of the capital of the Sukapura Regency to Tasikmalaya, among them because of the Tasikmalaya area that was closer to Galunggung including the fertile area so as was good for planting of indigo, nearby that the area of the Tasikmalaya city was more wide, flat and beautiful compared with Manonjaya.
During 1942, the Dutch colonisation ended was replaced with the government of the Japanese military. Because the existence of the regulation of the rice collection from the Japanese government, had emerged the revolt of the students in pasantren Sukamanah that was led by a big Muslim scholar, K.H.Z. Mustofa that was defended by Regent R.T. Wiradiputra.
This small from the note concerning the Sukapura History or that currently more is known by the name of Tasikmalaya.

Sakit Maag, Puasa Sembuh

2008-05-06T08:13:00.000-07:00

BANYAK pertanyaan yang muncul seputar penyakit maag dan puasa. Bolehkah penderita penyakit tersebut berpuasa? Selain itu, makanan apa saja yang dianjurkan dan yang tidak bagi penderita sakit maag ketika berpuasa di bulan Ramadan? Yang jelas, ada penderita yang bisa sembuh karena berpuasa.

Ramadan merupakan ajang pengendalian diri terhadap segala nafsu yang dapat menjerumuskan kita ke keadaan tidak terpuji. Salah satu dari nafsu tersebut adalah makan berlebihan dan tak terkendali.
Apa jadinya jika keinginan untuk mengonsumsi makanan enak dalam jumlah berlebih telah menguasai jiwa kita? Obesitas dan berbagai penyakit degeneratif adalah dampak utama dari lemahnya sistem pengendalian diri terhadap godaan makan.

Banyaknya perintah mengenai makan yang tertuang di dalam Alquran (tidak kurang dari 28 kali) menunjukkan bahwa makanan dan pola makan merupakan hal yang sangat penting dan menentukan kesehatan seseorang. Rasulullah SAW pernah bersabda bahwa perut sebaiknya diisi sepertiga untuk makanan, sepertiga untuk minuman, dan sepertiganya untuk udara pernapasan.

Dengan demikian, seorang muslim dianjurkan untuk makan jika sudah lapar dan berhenti sebelum kenyang. Konsep berhenti makan sebelum kenyang juga sejalan dengan Surat Al A'raf ayat 31 yang berbunyi, "Makan dan minumlah, tapi jangan berlebihan. Sesungguhnya Allah tidak menyukai orang-orang yang berlebihan."
Makan secara berlebihan hingga perut sesak tidak diperkenankan dalam Islam. Seperti dikatakan oleh Al-Gazali, keadaan kenyang mengajak kepada bergeloranya syahwat-syahwat rendah dan menggerakkan berbagai penyakit di dalam tubuh.

Rasulullah SAW pernah bersabda, "Perut itu adalah rumah segala penyakit. Membatasi atau menjaga makan adalah awal dari pengobatan, sedangkan permulaan segala penyakit adalah mengisi perut berlebih-lebihan."

Partial Fasting
Puasa Ramadhan sebagai wujud ketakwaan kepada Allah SWT hukumnya adalah wajib bagi setiap umat beriman. Dalam pelaksanaannya, sering timbul berbagai pertanyaan menyangkut bagaimana dampak puasa terhadap keadaan gizi seseorang? Gizi apa saja yang perlu diperhatikan selama bulan puasa? Lalu, bagaimana hubungan puasa dengan kesehatan?

Puasa sebagaimana dilakukan oleh umat Islam tergolong sebagai partial fasting, yaitu puasa yang hanya berlangsung sekitar 13 jam. Menyegerakan berbuka puasa saat azan magrib tiba, serta menunda sahur hingga mendekati waktu imsak, merupakan strategi puasa yang diajarkan Rasulullah untuk mengurangi dampak kelaparan yang berkepanjangan terhadap sistem metabolisme tubuh. Puasa Ramadan sama sekali tidak dimaksudkan untuk menyakiti tubuh, melainkan untuk mendapatkan kesehatan.

Dalam bidang ilmiah dikenal juga istilah prolonged fasting, yaitu puasa yang dilakukan secara terus-menerus selama beberapa hari. Puasa ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui daya tahan seseorang setelah beberapa hari tidak makan, kecuali minum, serta akibatnya terhadap beberapa karakteristik kesehatan tubuh.

Dalam partial fasting atau puasa Ramadan sebenarnya terjadi perubahan pola makan, dari semula tiga kali menjadi hanya dua kali sehari dengan jadwal yang juga berubah. Diperkirakan perubahan frekuensi makan ini secara kuantitatif akan menurunkan jumlah zat gizi yang masuk ke dalam tubuh.

Oleh karena itu, dalam seminggu pertama umumnya akan terjadi penurunan berat badan karena tubuh belum terbiasa dengan pola makan yang baru. Dalam minggu-minggu berikutnya tubuh akan beradaptasi terhadap segala perubahan yang ada.

Sakit Maag
Bagi penderita sakit maag, sebelum berpuasa sebaiknya berkonsultasi dengan dokter. Sebagaimana diketahui, sakit maag memiliki tahapan-tahapan. Apabila tahapannya sudah kronis dan gawat, berpuasa mungkin tidak dianjurkan.

Sakit maag adalah penyakit yang menyerang alat pencernaan, baik lambung, usus, maupun kerongkongan. Gejala-gejala sakit maag adalah rasa tidak nyaman pada saluran pencernaan, sakit pada ulu hati, mual, muntah, kembung, cepat kenyang, dan nafsu makan berkurang.

Pada kasus tertentu, ciri-cirinya sakit di bagian perut hingga serasa menusuk ke belakang, di malam hari. Sakit maag juga kadang ditandai oleh rasa nyeri yang cepat datang dan pergi, misalnya setelah makan sedikit rasa nyeri hilang, tapi sebentar kemudian kambuh lagi.

Dua jenis kelainan pada maag yang dapat menyebabkan penyakit adalah dispepsia fungsional dan organik. Dispepsia fungsional hanya ditandai oleh kelainan minimal, seperti kemerahan pada alat pencernaan.

Kelainan organik memiliki gejala-gejala yang lebih parah, yaitu berupa luka dalam di lambung, usus besar, atau kerongkongan. Pada tahap yang lebih akut, kelainan organik terkadang juga disertai polip serta tanda-tanda keganasan.

Tingkat keparahan maag tidak dapat dideteksi hanya dengan mengamati gejalanya. Hal ini disebabkan oleh sensitivitas dan psikis yang dimiliki setiap orang berbeda. Ada beberapa orang yang lambungnya hanya kemerahan sedikit saja, tapi merasakan sakit yang luar biasa. Sebaliknya, ada yang tetap dapat bekerja dan menjalankan aktivitasnya seperti biasa, padahal lambungnya telah terluka parah.

Kelainan pada alat pencernaan hanya bisa dilihat dengan cara endoskopi (teropong saluran pencernaan atas). Dari pemeriksaan ini akan terlihat apakah alat pencernaan menderita luka atau tidak.

Orang yang mengonsumsi obat rematik selama lebih dari sebulan biasanya juga tidak menyadari kalau lambungnya luka parah. Gangguan baru disadari setelah ia mengalami pendarahan. Dalam keadaan normal, ada keseimbangan antara faktor agresif yang merusak lambung dan defensif yang melindungi lambung. Obat rematik umumnya menyebabkan penipisan dinding lambung, yang akan mengganggu keseimbangan dua faktor tadi.

Justru Menyehatkan
Tidak ada keraguan bahwa puasa itu menyehatkan bagi tubuh kita. Sebagaimana dinyatakan dalam surat Al-Baqarah 184, "Berpuasa lebih baik bagimu." Rasulullah SAW juga pernah bersabda, "Shumu thasiku," yang berarti puasalah niscaya kamu sehat.

Selama puasa, pola makan akan berubah karena hanya diperbolehkan makan saat pagi dan menjelang malam hari. Lambung dibiarkan kosong selama sekitar 13 jam. Umumnya tubuh memerlukan waktu 3-5 hari untuk beradaptasi dengan pola makan yang baru tersebut.

Meskipun lambung kosong sekitar belasan jam, tidak ada yang perlu dikhawatirkan. Tubuh akan tetap memiliki energi yang cukup untuk beraktivitas. Energi tersebut berasal dari cadangan energi berupa lemak dan glikogen yang tersimpan di bawah kulit.

Masalah yang mungkin terjadi adalah saat lambung kosong, pengeluaran asam lambung dan gas akan semakin meningkat. Meskipun demikian, hal ini tidak akan berlangsung terus-menerus.
Pada penderita sakit maag yang memiliki kelainan organik dan tidak mengonsumsi obat, puasa cenderung akan membuat maag semakin parah. Hal ini disebabkan oleh adanya luka-luka dalam yang sudah parah dan telah berlangsung cukup lama.

Untuk penderita kelainan organik, obat maag yang sering dianjurkan adalah obat antiasam. Obat ini mampu menekan produksi asam lambung hingga 12 - 24 jam, tapi obat ini hanya didapat dengan resep dokter.

Obat maag yang dijual bebas adalah obat penetral asam, yang hanya mampu menetralkan asam selama sekitar 6 jam, sehingga gejala maag akan timbul setelah terlampauinya selang waktu tersebut. Obat antiasam juga dianjurkan untuk penderita maag akibat stres.

Keadaan akan sangat berbeda terhadap penderita sakit maag yang memiliki kelainan fungsional. Umumnya sakit maag jenis ini justru sembuh dan membaik dengan berpuasa. Hal ini disebabkan pola makan yang menjadi lebih teratur saat berpuasa dan berkurangnya konsumsi makanan yang mengandung gas.

Hindari Kopi dan yang Mengandung Gas
Untuk memenuhi kebutuhan tubuh akan makanan selama berpuasa, sebaiknya saat sahur, orang yang berpuasa mengonsumsi makanan sebanyak 30-40 kkal/kilogram berat badan. Jika Anda memiliki berat badan 60 kg, artinya paling tidak Anda mengonsumsi 1.800 – 2.400 kkal.

Pilihan makanan pun harus diperhatikan. Ada beberapa makanan yang patut dihindari bagi penderita sakit maag yang ingin berpuasa. Makanan-makanan tersebut di antaranya adalah:

1. Makanan atau minuman yang merangsang pengeluaran asam lambung seperti kopi, minuman beralkohol 5-20 persen, anggur putih, sari buah jeruk, dan susu. Orang yang biasa minum kopi sebaiknya sudah mulai puasa minum kopi, jauh sebelum hari puasa dimulai. Pasalnya, kopi memiliki efek candu yang menyebabkan adanya perubahan pada kondisi tubuh.

2. Makanan yang mengandung gas, seperti makanan berlemak, sayuran tertentu seperti sawi dan kol, nangka, pisang ambon, kedondong, buah yang dikeringkan, ubi jalar, dan minuman bersoda.

3. Makanan yang sulit dicerna yang dapat memperlambat pengosongan lambung, seperti makanan berlemak, kue tart, dan keju.

4. Makanan yang melemahkan klep kerongkongan bawah, antara lain alkohol, cokelat, makanan tinggi lemak, dan gorengan. Selain itu, ada beberapa sumber karbohidrat yang harus dihindari penderita sakit maag, antara lain beras ketan, mi, bihun, bulgur, jagung, talas, serta dodol.

Tidur 2 Jam Setelah Sahur
Untuk berbuka puasa umumnya kita memulai dengan makanan yang manis-manis, mengikuti sunah Nabi Muhammad SAW. Tujuannya, agar tubuh segera mendapatkan glukosa untuk menormalkan posisi gula darah yang telah menurun selama 14 jam berpuasa.

Menu pembuka dapat berupa sirop manis, teh manis, aneka kolak, kurma, serta berbagai makanan jajanan. Makanan dan minuman manis sangat mudah dicerna. Dua jam saja prosesnya sudah selesai. Selain itu juga membuat segar.

Tetap melakukan latihan fisik secara teratur sesuai kemampuan. Latihan fisik yang cukup dan teratur akan membuat tubuh menjadi bugar dan sehat. Selain itu, olahraga juga dapat menghindarkan diri terhadap stres. Kondisi mental sangat erat hubungannya dengan kondisi pencernaan. Paling tidak, dengan latihan fisik, ada pelemasan otot tubuh.

Olahraga sebaiknya dilakukan menjelang berbuka puasa. Pilih juga olahraga yang tidak menguras banyak keringat karena bisa menyebabkan kehilangan cairan dan elektrolit dalam jumlah banyak.

Tidur setelah dua jam sahur. Hal ini dimaksudkan untuk menghindari naiknya asam lambung ke kerongkongan. Saat itu lambung masih berisi makanan. Makanan bisa lancar turun ke saluran pencernaan apabila tubuh berada dalam posisi tegak.

Dalam posisi tidur, makanan akan sulit turun dan dikhawatirkan asam lambung akan naik ke kerongkongan. Ini akan menyebabkan iritasi pada pasien yang punya kelainan pada klep kerongkongannya.
