Drinks with your meals

Many people like to enjoy a cocktail with their meals. You may order beer, mixed drinks or wines. Some recommendations from internet.

Wine: Chardonnay
Meal: Cobb Salad, Seafood, Chicken, Oysters, Lobster, Shrimp, Salmon, Poultry, Pork, Veal, Asian Food or Smoked Foods.

Wine: Cabernet Sauvignon
Meal: Lamb, Beef, Barbecue, Duck, Poultry, Hearty Pastas or Smoked Foods.

Wine: Zinfandel
Meal: Beef, Barbecue, Stews, Roast or Hearty Pastas.

Wine: Pinot Noir
Meal: Salmon, Turkey or Pastas.

A basic rule is white wine with white meat and red wine with red meat, but you don't have to follow this rule. Order whatever you feel like drinking.

A cocktail is a style of mixed drink made predominantly with a distilled beverage, such as vodka, gin, whiskey, rum, or tequila, mixed with another drink other than water. Cocktails usually contain one or more types of liqueur, fruit, sauce, honey, milk or cream, spices, or other flavorings.

Cocktails may vary in their ingredients from bartender to bartender, and from region to region. Two creations may have the same name but taste very different because of differences in how the drinks are prepared.
Cocktails marked with "IBA" are designated as "IBA Official Cocktails" by the International Bartender Association, and are some of the most popular cocktails worldwide.

Cocktails were originally a morning beverage, and the cocktail was the name given as metaphor for the rooster (cocktail) heralding morning light of day.

日落的美丽



日落的开始 是美丽的
但 有人说
日落的开始 也是一天即将结束的时候
那 日落的开始 是凄凉的还是美丽

Brandy Label

Just a little knowledge to share:

Brandy has a rating system to describe its quality and condition, these indicators can usually be found near the brand name on the label.

  • A.C. aged 2 years in wood.
  • V.S. "Very Special" or 3-Star, aged at least 3 years in wood.
  • V.S.O.P. "Very Superior Old Pale" or 5-Star, aged at least 5 years in wood.
  • X.O. "Extra Old", Napoleon or Vieille Reserve, aged at least 6 years, Napoleon at least 4 years.
  • Vintage Stored in the cask until the time it is bottled with the label showing the vintage date.
  • Hors D'age These are too old to determine the age, although 10 years plus is typical, and are usually of great quality.

离开

离开你我才发现自己那爱笑的眼睛
虽曾流过泪 但眼神依然坚定
想看到的 只是幸福的喝彩

离开你我才找回自己那爱笑的脸庞
虽曾失落过 但微笑依然不变
想拥有的 只是简单的快乐

找不到平衡点

很多事要忙,很多东西要想,很多地方要去,很多功夫要准备,很多问题要解决,找不到平衡点。。

我想对你说

我想对你说如果我的要求太多,
如果我说的你都听不懂,
请记得要告诉我,我会努力让你了解我。

如果你觉得我不够温柔,
如果你认为分手是一种解脱,
请记得要告诉我,我会让自己更洒脱。

我也不愿有这样的结果,
谁叫我们已走到了尽头。。。

如果你选择保持沉默,
如果你不想给任何承诺,
请记得要告诉我,我会就这样放手,
让你好好的过。

如果你不想再牵我的手,
如果我们的相遇是一种折磨,
请记得要告诉我,我会乖乖的放手,
让你自由。

我也不愿就这样让你走,
谁叫我们已走到了尽头,
以为不会到达的尽头。。。

如果我要说的太多,
如果我要做的太重,
我可否就这样放手,把一切抛到脑后。

如果有一天你突然的离开了我,
如果有一天我们就像陌生人的擦肩而过,
我只想对你说,这个人我曾经真的想要爱过。

抉择.犹豫

人生为何总是充满抉择,为何总是有许多的犹豫,许多的不知所措。连自己都不知道,谁能来定个立场。

无所谓

我会懂得珍惜的,而你却没在意,我也无所谓了。
