While I feed my addiction by re-watching all the seasons, my wine of choice for the evening is: House Wine by The Magnificent Wine Co. It's a blend of a bunch of different grapes (6), mostly Cabernet Sauvignon. A little snooping on Wikipedia reveals that though it's grown all over the world, it's a young grape. A cross of a Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. Resistant to many things that might destroy it, it is known as the great colonizer for its tendency to become really popular/dominant wherever it goes.
I've finally finished the book for our book club: The Perks of Being a Wallflower. It's published by MTV books which made me feel silly. What are they doing publishing anything? But then I thought about Napoleon Dynamite and changed my mind a little. It's for sure a page turner. I think its best audience may be a younger crowd 16-21, but I like that it really stuck with its format and worked it like the rent was due. (That's my new favorite expression, I'm sure you heard it before. I heard it on Top Chef)
I'm hoping to read this other book for another book club: Orlando, A Biography by Virginia Woolf. If you would have asked me a year ago if I could ever see myself being in two book clubs at the same time I probably would have said "only if I loose my job or something".

i am obsessed with top chef! i actually spent part of my evening pretending i could come up with my own recipe for the quaker oats/top chef promotional contest. i'm not totally sold on my result, but my dad says he thinks it's a good cookie and might as well try.
ReplyDeletedo you have all of season 1? i think that may be the season that i haven't seen from start to finish.
ha ha That's great. I thought abt trying to submit a recipe for that too.
ReplyDeleteWell yes, I do have all of season one as a matter of fact. I might not if it weren't for this apple TV thing. I bought the first three seasons without having to leave my apartment (almost without having to leave the chofa) I wonder how I can get them to you? I haven't tried to share itunes TV shows via DVD. Is there an easy way?
i have no idea how to share itunes tv.... hmm.
ReplyDeleteand i completely failed at submitting my oat recipe. whoops.
