The barbecue is a time to savor the smells of roasting meat and to enjoy the company of good friends. It is a time-honored social gathering and a way almost to get back to nature. The next time you hold a barbecue, check your guest list. Not everyone on the list is your friend. Who are the bad guys? Bacteria.

We live in an atmosphere swirling with fungus, yeast, mold, and bacteria. Normally these microscopic meddlers pose no problem to us. It is only when they find a suitable habitat and grow out of control that they can cause us harm. Bacteria are some of the most dangerous, because they flourish on what your are about to put on the grill: raw meat.

Wine making is an art that has been practiced for over four thousand years. Essentially wine comes in three basic types: red, white and sparkling.

If a sparkling wine comes from the Champagne region of France it is named after that region. Other French regions that produce good wine are Bordeaux and Burgundy. The best Italian wines come from Tuscany, and the best American wines come from California.

When wine is made the grapes are crushed and the juice extracted. The juice contains sugar and yeast. The yeast ferments the sugar and gradually alcohol is produced. Although the alcohol is always the same, every wine has its own flavor. This depends on the type of grape used and the conditions in which fermentation occurs.

The McDonald sandwich - named after its creator Scott McDonald, the chef at London department store Selfridges - is said to be the world’s most expensive sandwich, at a price tag of £85 or $150.
Its cost is down to the Wagyu beef that makes up most of the filling, packed in a 24-hour fermented sour dough bread.
