My (Toronto-living) cousin brought me icewine for my graduation present. I haven't tried it yet. I did hit BevMo today and managed to spend $200 - it's their 5 cent sale, so I got $400 in value, but still. I comfort myself that it's a third what I spent in February at the 5 cent sale (I was stocking up the new place). This time, no hard liquor, just wine. Someone come over and help me drink it, please?
But what I wanted to say is that Cynthia and I (Toronto cousin) had a really good bottle of Canadian wine that was served to us in the cafe in the AGO (Art Gallery of Ontario). I'll have to ask her what it was; we were both so pleasantly surprised by it.
ETA: Oh, as for mac n cheese, many nights a month dinner is a box of either Safeway's "O" (organic) series of mac n cheese, or one of "Amy's" versions mixed with a bag of broccoli. YUM. It's what we had last night, as a matter of fact.
Is icewine like eiswein? Because I've tried eiswein and didn't care for it, which is disappointing because the way it's made is so nifty.
Mmm, cheese.
Mmmm. Cheese is right.
Does anyone know if Flashforward is some sort of joint production with the BBC? With Joseph Fiennes, Jack Davenport and Alex Kingston, I am curious.
Lo, I am exiled to the bedroom while The Boy vacuums the rest of the house. The fur literally flies, and my allergies go to defcon 5.
I don't know if anybody likes cheese more than amych.
JZ is quite the cheese hound too.
cheeeeeeeese
(I need to do further experiments with making my own, speaking of which.)
Hallmark seems to be edging out of the free e-card business. Which is a shame for my father, since his birthday card will play him mariachi. Actually, I like the card so much I played it twice. Okay, three times, because it won't let me personalise it...it's getting old.
Hee. We were at a surprise party for one of our friends. Someone had bought him a mass birthday card and was passing it around to be signed. I had opened it to sign it (first) and had turned to chat with one of my kiddoes in the meanwhile. Of course it was a music playing card, a really obnoxious one.
So I was hearing it play and thinking to myself, sheesh, whoever has that phone needs to shut it up. Annoying! And then I looked down, and realized...it was me. Oops!
Then I had to scurry to sign the card so it would stop harassing me.
