Found a Great Auto Insurance Site With Free Quotes

http://www.AutoInsuranceQuotesForFree.com - My son turned 16 and I called my auto insurance company. I about had a heart attack at how high they were, even though I’d been with them for years. So I began researching. I read articles. I read Consumer Reports. I called agent after agent and visited site after site. Then I found this site. It gave me several quotes, all from reputable companies, and I was able to save over $546 in just 15 minutes. This was the best site I found so I thought I’d share it with everyone.

Fort Heritage Hotel- a Royal Treat

An article for Press

Fort Heritage Hotel- A Royal Treat

From The Culinary Critique

No Whiskey. Give your hepatic cells a rest. No butter chicken. Stop depositing excess adipose. Visit the only vegetarian and non-liquor heritage hotel in Chandigarh/Panchkula.

I decided to check out the food at the Fort Heritage Hotel for the benefit for the culinary connoisseurs of Chandigarh and Panchkula who are desperate for some other eating joint that is far removed from the same old Chinese food and Madrasi khana.

The ambience is very soothing and soaked in mystery as you enter this hotel that was originally the Fort of the Chandel Dynasty. The tallest wooden door at the entrance is a sight to behold. The durban at the door, in full ceremonial finery, reminds you of the soldiers of that era. The restaurant is staffed by eager eyed waiters who welcome you with warmth. The decoration in the restaurant has all the trappings of a royal dining area. Old weapons and cups adorn the walls . The menu not only gives us all the types of dishes served but is also endeavours to educate us in the history of Chandel Maharajas.

Before placing our orders we built up our appetite by roaming around the Fort and seeing all the Vintage Cars, swimming pool, the Ganesh temple and the conference room. I had visited Fort with my wife and daughter. My Parents who had come all the way from Bangalore, were the guests of honour. We started by ordering Hot and Sour Veg Soup. I was happy to note that unlike the stingy serving size of other Chandigarh hotels, two soups were enough for the 5 of us. The soup was excellent and was neither too hot nor too sour. It was perfect. By the time we finished our soup the waiter arrived with one plate each of Spring Rolls and Veg Seek Kabab that was again surprisingly enough for the 5 of us. The spring rolls were non oily and the fillings were soft. The veg seek Kababs dipped in green chutley were a perfect complement. After this the main course arrived. Dear readers, allow me to recommend Makai-Kumb Subji, Panch Mel Dal and Paneer Bedmi, and I am sure you would be thankful to me for the recommendations. The food just melted in our mouths. Again, one plate of each dish with tandoori roti was enough for the entire family. Makai-Kumbh Subji seems to be the chef’s specialty because it was had the balanced amalgamation of sweet corn and mushrooms marinated in subtle spices. Panch-mel Dal was made from 5 different pulses, simmered in a brass pot for more than 12 hours to imbibe all the delicate essences into its very core, was another dish that is worth recommending. Never knew that the humble dal could be elevated to such great culinary heights by prolonged thermal intervention. Paneer Bedmi just about passed the test. The paneer was probably mass produced, that would explain the detrimental effect on it’s texture. The sweet dish was the standard ice cream with hot chocolate sauce. The sauce was runny and could have been better. Tasted like Bournvita dissolved in hot water. Other than the sweet dish, the main course was a pleasant experience. Now for the financial implications. Very astonisning, considering the standard of the hotel. We were billed Rs800/- for a meal for 5 members. Even in a cheaper fast food restaurant, where you have to stand in a line to pay and collect your grub, I would surely have ended up spending more minus the royal ambience. Just taste Makai-Kumbh and Panch-mel Dal at Fort and it will perk you up. If not, get back to this culinary critique.

Discover your Heart in San Francisco

Besides the Golden Gate Bridge and the funky neighborhoods, are you really aware of all that San Francisco has to offer as a vacation destination? Art, culture, history and fun permeate the city and spring up in various forms around every corner. Dull moments and dreary days are few and far between, and there are about five million possible itineraries to choose from. If filling your days with constant sensory stimulation sounds like your idea of a fabulous getaway, you simply must check out the whirling, spinning, energy-rich mecca that is San Francisco.

The Bay area in general is perfect for biking, walking, and cable car riding, so forget about your gas-guzzling beast and plan on getting a little fresh air and exercise. The distinctive architecture, the tranquil wharf and the people watching will all keep you constantly encouraged to move along, meaning that you’ll probably end up burning a few calories without even realizing it. Historical walking tours will fill your head with a little knowledge, or if you’re the spontaneous type, just hop on your bicycle and see where the day takes you.

If artistic endeavors get your motor running, dozens of opportunities will compete for your attention. The Asian Art Museum is one of the largest collections of Eastern inspired art in the world, and the San Francisco Modern Art Museum is considered a can’t miss attraction. Galleries line the more fashionable streets and local artisans are hawking their wares in the most unexpected places; in other words, if you keep your eyes open you’re sure to get your art fix.

Its location on the coast of course makes San Francisco properly ocean-oriented, so whether you’re looking out across the bay from on of the city’s higher vantage points or getting right up close to the action at Pier 39 at Fisherman’s Wharf. Sea lions, food vendors and Broadway-style musicals are just a few of the attractions in this area, so save some time to properly appreciate the whimsical offerings. The Conservatory of Flowers is a fragrant and fascinating draw, and most tourists won’t be able to leave the Bay area without hopping on a ferry and visiting a famed and intriguing sightseeing spot Alcatraz.

The theme parks, nature preserves, and cultural spots of interest are compiled in lists and articles much longer than this one, so once you arrive be sure to check out the scene, maybe ask a local, and wander your way through what is sure to be a satisfyingly busy vacation. Don’t let yourself get too worn out though; when taking city getaways it can be tempting to run yourself ragged and end up feeling relaxed but tired; avoid post-vacation fatigue by penciling in some downtime.

Play a round of golf on one of San Francisco’s gorgeous courses; stop by one of the many high-class spas for a facial, massage or pedicure, or kick back at a casual or upscale restaurant for a delicious meal. Since you’ve been running around all day, don’t worry about calories for once. Indulge in a fantastic dinner (seafood and wine, perhaps?) and go ahead and order dessert. With hundreds of restaurants to choose from, food heads will be in heaven.

Shopping is also a tempting diversion, so spend-a-holics beware that your credit card may be making a few key appearances. From specialty gift stores to upscale boutiques, candy and flower shops to antique markets, it’s all here. Considering that this is in the neighborhood of wine country, there are all sorts of tours and tastings to take advantage of. Give your taste buds an awakening, see the process that grapes undergo before reaching your table in the form of sweet nectar in a long-stemmed glass, and take a few bottles home with you as the perfect souvenir.

To add a final touch to the trip, one that will make you look and feel as if you’re a professional vacationer who knows how to make a good holiday great, opt to reserve a San Francisco Vacation Rental. With a condo or apartment located downtown, all the hottest activities will be right outside your door and it will greatly aid your vacation state of mind to live like a local.

Or, check out the properties that are tucked away along the coast or in the hills; these will give you more peace and quiet than the typical hotel, and aren’t necessarily more expensive when you take into consideration all the fabulous extra amenities that come wrapped up in a vacation rental package. It’s at least worth a look, so check out the dozens of houses, town homes and cottages today.

San Francisco isn’t a hard sell; there’s something for everyone to take interest in and the city knows how to show visitors a good time. If it’s time for you to take a break from responsibility for a while, consider heading to this sparkling metropolis as soon as you can swing it.
