Secretaries' Day Ringed in Red at Inteflora.co.uk
With Britain experiencing a severe shortage of skilled secretarial staff and predictions that there will shortly be two vacancies per candidate there's never been a better time to say thank you to a dedicated member of the team. (PRWEB) April 23, 2007 -- With Interflora's extensive range of bouquets, plants, gourmet gifts and fine wines, choosing a gift to show appreciation for a male or female team member has never been easier. Everybody enjoys praise and in today's high pressure working environments it's all too easy to forget to say thank you, even though the secretary, clerical assistant or administration assistant may well be the engine that drives the business or the greaser of the wheels. Secretaries' Day came into existence over fifty years ago, established as a way to recognize secretaries for their contribution in the work place and to attract women into secretarial careers.
Fresh off the grill: Love at first bit
Churrasco Grill, 137 N. Beverwyck Rd., Lake Hiawatha; (973) 263-1590. Hours: noon to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday; noon to 10 p.m. Friday; 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday; 4 p.m to 9 p.m. Sunday. Closed Monday. BY PETE GENOVESE STAR-LEDGER STAFF My thought when I stepped inside Churrasco Grill for the first time: Is this the right place? When you hear about a South American restaurant specializing in grilled steak and rotisserie chicken, you envision a small, smoky joint with a spit or grill out front. Churrasco Grill is a cozy, pleasant little place, with 11 tables, a smattering of paintings and photographs on the wall, and a grill nowhere in sight. That's in the back, where you can find cook and co-owner Jorge Castillo.
Taste of Mildura life
There we were, berthed in front of the Trentham Estate winery with other like-minded boaties, with nothing more pressing on our minds on a lazy Sunday afternoon than whether to eat in the restaurant, or detour to the cellar door for a tasting. Temperance was the last thing on anyone's minds, as the wine was flowing, the restaurant was packed, and the outside tables under the tangle of grape vines filled to capacity. Satisfied customers in shorts or sun dresses were spilling out on to the expansive lawn to stand under the shade sails and giant red gums, wine in hand, to watch the river meander by, while children let off steam on the green lawns leading down to the water. It was an idyllic scene. This is Gondola on the Murray country, a little piece of the Mediterranean in the Australian bush, and the living is decidedly easy.

Chino Hills' City Broiler does it right
City Broiler is an exciting new restaurant that is located in the Cross Roads Market Place in Chino Hills. This large restaurant features two dining areas and a large bar with many television screens to watch your favorite game while feasting on some really delicious and eye-popping dishes. The "East coast steak house" decor features lots of brick and dark woods along with many booths and tables with black and white trim. It's the perfect setting for a relaxing and terrific dining experience for the entire family. The menu has just about everything a true lover of food looks for in a restaurant. There's a multitude of tempting sandwiches, a large variety of fish and seafood entrees, juicy steaks and chicken along with beautiful salads and gourmet pizzas. For starters, I decided to try the Fried Calamari and the Teriyaki Chicken Skewers.
