Building An Authoritative Travel Blog

Authoritative blogs seem all the rage at the moment but what exactly is an " Authoritative Travel Blog ?" Well my understanding of the matter is it is a blog that is not only very informative to the readers but that the information comes from authoritative type people in connection with what they are writing about.

Hopefully my articles below will give an insight on travel and travel related experiences from all over the world from many authoritative writers as they have been there and done that.

Articles will be and are published often and this means current travel experiences and up to date places to visit. If you have also visited these places or wish to comment then please do so remembering this blog is intended to family orientated visitors so please be respectful.

I have seen many fears raised through my article site and feel that any traveller today that, for one reason or another, decides against travel insurance then they are possibly being a little short sighted. We do not want our boats to sink but are happy to carry life rafts. travel insurance is a similar idea. We do not wish to ever claim on it but if things go wrong as they sometimes do it is a benifit to have the insurance.

A Delicious Shrimp Feast

By Mara Hernandez-Capili

Calling seafood lovers! Shrimps are delectable seafood that is generally a fond favorite. Whatever style used for its cooking, shrimps it is always a treat especially if its the time of summer. There is no other grand way to spend summer than to enjoy consuming summer favorites. The feature summer menu for now is the mouth watering lobster.

Yes, lobster. The very thought of its tender white meat flavored with garlic and butter makes my mouth water with pleasure. Lobsters are deemed a fine dining treat and a pricey commodity because of its high price. Lobsters being hard to cook and a daunting task to prepare is a common misconception. Preparing and cooking lobster is a breeze. Lobsters can be bought through a local fish monger with the claws safely tied with a rubber.

Lobster should be frozen to about 30-45 minutes before boiling to "sleep" or be in a temporary state of "coma. Remove the rubber bands used to tie the claws (for the safety of the handler) as it can affect the flavor of the lobster. Next is to place the lobsters immediately in boiling water, cover tightly and leave it for 30-45 minutes time, until it reaches a bright color red. Remove the lobster from the water and let cool in a pan.

Twist the tail gently to separate it from the body. Using kitchen shears, cut across the underside of the lobster and gently release the meat from the shell. Crack the claws using lobster cracker to release the juicy, tender and flavorful claw meat. Lobsters are best enjoyed with lemon butter sauce. Grilled lobsters are also a favorite summer dish as well as shrimp salads and grilled barbecue shrimp kebabs.

Hmmm. This is really a tempting read. Don't we wish there's a shrimp feast we can attend right now? The Chesapeake Beach in Maryland is hosting its annual shrimp feast. Please come and attend the festival to enjoy their mouth watering lobsters.
