Grenache (pronounced gren-ash) (, ; , or ) is one of the most widely planted red wine grape varieties in the world. It ripens late, so it needs hot, dry conditions such as those found in Spain, the south of France, and California's San Joaquin Valley. It is generally spicy, berry-flavored and soft on the palate with a relatively high alcohol content, but it needs careful control of yields for best results. It tends to lack acid, tannin and color, and is usually blended with other varieties such as Syrah, Carignan and Cinsaut.
Grenache is the dominant variety in most Southern Rhône win...
Grenadine is traditionally a red syrup. It is used as an ingredient in cocktails, both for its flavor and to give a reddish/pink tinge to mixed drinks. "Grenadines" are also made by mixing the syrup with cold water in a glass or pitcher, sometimes with ice.
The name "grenadine" comes from the French word grenade which means pomegranate. Grenadine was originally prepared from pomegranate juice or cherry juice, and sugar. However, "grenadine" is also a common name applied to syrups and beverages consisting of other fruit juices (e.g. raspberry, redcurrant, blackberry) and sugar syrup. T...
A headache or cephalgia is pain anywhere in the region of the head or neck. It can be a symptom of a number of different conditions of the head and neck. The brain tissue itself is not sensitive to pain because it lacks pain receptors. Rather, the pain is caused by disturbance of the pain-sensitive structures around the brain. Several areas of the head and neck have these pain-sensitive structures, which are divided in two categories: within the cranium (blood vessels, meninges, and the cranial nerves) and outside the cranium (the periosteum of the skull, muscles, nerves, arteries and ...

Ganache (, from the French word for "jowl") is a glaze, icing, or filling for pastries made from chocolate and cream.

Depending on the kind of chocolate used, for what purpose the ganache is intended, and the temperature at which it will be served, the ratio of chocolate to cream is varied to obtain the desired consistency. Typically, two parts chocolate to one part cream are used f...
A Garnish is an item or substance used as a decoration or embellishment and often a flavor component on a prepared food dish or drink. In many cases, it may give added or contrasting flavor, some garnishes are selected first to augment the visual impact of the plate, while others are selected specifically for the flavor they may impart. This is in contrast to a condiment which is primarily a prepared sauce product of a specific flavor added to another food item. Parsley is an excellent example of an old fashioned garnish; this pungent green herb has small distinctly shaped leaves, firm s...
Panache is a word of French origin that carries the connotation of a flamboyant manner and reckless courage.
The literal translation is a plume, such as is worn on a hat or a helmet, but the reference is to King Henry IV of France. Pleasure-loving and cynical, but a brave military leader and the best-loved of the kings of France, he was famed for wearing a striking white plume in his helmet and for his war cry: "Follow my white plume!" (Fr. "Ralliez-vous à mon panache blanc!").

食品サンプル（しょくひんサンプル）は、飲食店の店頭あるいは店内に陳列される料理の模型。可塑性のある腐敗しない材料を主原料として作られ、商品の細部を視覚的に説明するとともに、商品名や価格を同時に提示することによってメニューの一部または全部の役割を果たす。大正時代から昭和初期にかけての日本で考案された表現手法であるが、業界団体が無く、共通の定義も存在していない。食品サンプルという呼称は戦後になって呼ばれるようになったものであり、料理模型や食品模型とも呼ばれる場合がある。
概要
初期の食品サンプルは実物を寒天で型取りして蝋を流し込んで作成された。蝋はあらかじめ絵の具を溶かして色付けしたものが用いられ、製品補強を行うために脱脂綿による裏打ちを行った後、表面によりリアルな彩色を施す。こうした一連の作業は手作業で行われているため、実際に飲食店で提供される特徴（皿、盛り付け、量など）に近い個々の食品サンプルの製作が行われた。
食品サンプルが高い集客能力を持ったイメージ喚起のための装置として、一般に広く認知されるようになると、それに伴って食品サンプル生産業者に対する受注が増加した。1970年代頃に入ると原材料は蝋製食品サンプルの持つ溶けやすい、壊れやすいといった欠点が改善された合成樹脂へと変化していき、生産の簡略化を目的とした合成樹脂用の金型などが開発された。これにより、より緻密...

A joke is a phrase or a paragraph with a humorous twist. It can be in many different forms, such as a question or short story. To achieve this end, jokes may employ irony, sarcasm, word play and other devices. Jokes may have a punchline that will end the sentence to make it humorous.

Historically, Old English (ge)bann is a derivation from the verb bannan "to summon, command, proclaim"
from an earlier Common Germanic *bannan "to command, forbid, banish, curse".

A bantam is a small variety of poultry, especially chickens. Etymologically, the name bantam is derived from the city of Bantam, once a major seaport, in Indonesia. European sailors restocking on live fowl for sea journeys found the small native breeds of chicken in Southeast Asia to be useful, and any such small poultry came to be known as a bantam.
Most large chicken breeds have a bantam counterpart, sometimes referred to as a miniature. M...

kernel stack.
Grammatically, I think it's wrong, but I feel your pain... In a list of instructions, I always allow readability to trump grammatical perfection. One of my personal favorites is to also do this:
