Suddenly you turn the corner to head to the grocery store–and you walk smack dab in the middle of a street fair. Since it’s about lunchtime, you do… Continue reading Street Fair
This month’s wine writing challenge, Success, was selected by my BFF (that would be blogger friend forever), Loie of CheapWineCurious, as a result of winning last month’s challenge.

I cook with wine…sometimes I even add it to the food. ~W.C. Fields This French Chardonnay-Sauvignon blend was a delicious pairing for my Mushroom & Corn Risotto (and a bargain–Cheap Wine Curious, I know you’d be so proud!). It had a light, crisp mouthfeel with a big apple taste and a delicate grapefruit finish–perfect alongside … Continue reading Cooking with Wine (Thirsty Thursday #6)
Now that you have The Jackson Five playing background music in your head, I have a confession. You know those silly/annoying emails that circulate every couple of years in which you answer questions about yourself?
