Caprese Skewers
When my boyfriend and I first moved into together, we had a house warming party that was all skewers (super fun and really easy clean-up, just make sure you have garbage cans handy). The biggest hit of the party was the Caprese Skewers, a simple and colorful appetizer. Ingredients Cherry Tomato Fresh Mozzarella balls (roughly the same size as the Cherry Tomatoes) Olive Oil (I love Sciabica Basil olive oil - they are the oldest olive oil producer in California) Fresh Basil Balsamic Vinegar (optional) salt and pepper Skewers 1.Lemon Chicken Skewers

The Paris fashion world never expected to see pasties on the runway. Nor, apparently, did the creative consultant behind the disastrous line, Lindsay Lohan. The actress, 23, who was skewered by the fashion press for the first Ungaro collection she served as artistic advisor on, blamed the fiasco on “coming in so late and having not that much time to do a whole collection.” As for the much-maligned sequined pasties flashed by the models when they opened their jackets and blouses, Lohan said told PEOPLE on Wednesday at a Victoria’s Secret Velvet launch party in New York that she was as shocked as the audience.
Mezedes & Appetizers
In summer, tiny tavernas throughout Greece are swamped with people—people sipping shot glasses of ouzo or long glasses of cold lager, and the same people nibbling on an array of small plates of mezedes. Mezedes is usually translated as "appetiser" or "starter"', but this translation does not do justice to the fundamental role mezethes play in Greek tradition.
History notes that Ancient Greeks made it impossible for their society to indulge in alcohol without some tasty morsel to nibble on.
Greece - What to Eat
Greece is a land of vibrant cuisine. It is food that is neither spicy nor bland, but rich in the flavors of the Mediterranean. It is comfort food in the truest sense of the word.

This story is a little graphic, so proceed with caution. It's shocking and horrifying what misinformation will make people do. CAIRO – A leading animal rights group criticized Egypt on Monday for using "shocking and cruel" methods to slaughter the country's pigs over swine flu fears, responding to a YouTube video that showed men skewering squealing piglets with large kitchen knives and hitting others with crowbars.Curried Chicken Satay
