While attemping to watch the evening news, I was subjected to ELEVEN political ads. One was shown twice in one commercial break, with an ad for her opponent in between. These people are running for Congress in a different district than the one that I live in. They are arguing over whether Darcy Burner’s computer science [...]

I love to cook. I mean I REALLY love to cook! Last winter, I was able to make some modifications to my kitchen to make it easier to manage. One of the things that would make things easier is a good quality cook book holder. I need something sturdy that would hold the book up [...]

I am in love. I found a new foodie site full of gorgeous images and delicious and diverse recipes. Later on, I will move the widget to the side bar but I want to make sure that you have a chance to browse through it here first. Think of it as a tantalizing tease.

Clara Meadmore of Britain is not the first centenarian to attest to the benefits of staying single. She is the first one that I am aware of that also swore off sex! Born in 1903, Clara Meadmore decided at the age of 12 not to get married and for her that meant no sex. “I imagine there [...]

Too much booze in my Cabernet

Columbia Crest Reserve wines are usually winners but I think the Columbia Crest 2004 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon was an unfortunate victim of global warming. As the environment has been heating up so have the grapes leading to more sugar and more alcohol. This 2004 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon had silky smooth tannins and a lovely complex [...]

Gas Prices got you down? Pity Diddy!?!?!
