Haters Gonna Hate

2011-04-29T10:33:00.000-07:00

I loved the Royal Wedding. I dont wanna hear all the bitching and complaing about this and that and that and money blah blah blah, and who is too cool to watch. How absolutely brilliant that 2/3's of the world can tune in and celebrate love. Hell we tune in and mope about so many terrible strifes happening in the world. Why not a celebration of love?

Its not that bad. It was traditional and proper and classy and I dont think its a bad thing that we can reflect back on what is so important and what our traditions are, and how we carry them forward in to the future. I say thanks for the reminder Kate and Will, and thanks for demonstating to all the followers of many trashy role models today that this is how a lady acts. And fairy tales do come true.

The crowning momemt for me was when I realized Catherine Middleton's dress was identical to my mothers wedding dress, who is also named Catherine, always knew my ma had class and style.

CHEERS

I Love Playoffs

2011-04-22T13:43:00.000-07:00

Its Playoff time!! One of the best parts to spring time. And it aint spring out, sooo thats why its okay to just throw yourself into it.

My Flames are out, so basically Im routing to my back pocket teams and running with it. Like the Chicago Blackhawks for instance, I feel obliged to cheer for them because I am one of Wayne's Worlds biggest fans.

I look forward to the next game, whatever it is really.
I think for tonight Im going to make some homemade crab and avacado sushi avec ponzu sauce and kick back with a glass of sav blanc, perferably something from New Zealand.

what a girl really wants

2011-04-22T13:31:00.000-07:00

Ive been busy slacking off blogging, I got in heck for it the other day from two nameless shits!
Once you get into the Twitter world, blogging is just so much more time consuming, but I will make an effort to get back on the blog train, I miss my fans!

Jack Daniel's Launches Tennessee Honey: First New Whiskey in a Generation

Jack Daniel's Launches Tennessee Honey: First New Whiskey in a Generation

by David Kiley (RSS feed)

Mar 18th 2011 at 4:01PM
Jack Daniel's is about to roll out its first new expression in a generation: Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey.

The new libation starts with Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 and mingles it with a special honey liqueur. The result is a smoother, sweeter version of Jack that is just 70-proof. It is a clear and understandable attempt to pull more women into drinking Jack. There is even a cute honeybee on the label. Older drinkers might take a shine to it, as well. I can see my late Aunt Letitia or even my North Carolina Gram sipping Jack's Honey.

The addition of liqueur does give the finish a vaguely medicinal, cough-syrup taste in the background of other flavors like butterscotch, pear and honey.
Bartenders are just getting samples to play with, but I can see Old Fashions being made with Jack Honey, as well as Mint Juleps that are made with Old No. 7 instead of Kentucky Bourbon. The Derby is right around the corner, too.

Hahaha New Radiohead Dubover!

Raspberries

2011-02-08T20:44:00.000-08:00

I figured out how to incorporate more fruits in to my winter diet. I crushed up some fresh raspberries in my Glenlivet 12 yr scotch. and you know what, it wasnt bad, wasnt over powering, the carmelnes was icey cold berry goodness. Perfect scotchy ending to a quiet winter afternoon.

The Best

2011-02-08T20:35:00.000-08:00

Ive been running all winter, in temps as low as -21, and truly the best way to keep your feet warm is with a good ol pair of classic dad socks.
Ive had the $30 ski shop wool socks, Ive had experiments with layering and even duct tape. Basically this one single pair of wool socks from Cambodian Tire does the trick. I love these socks, they are even making a real fashion statment these days too. Lovely!

Ps. side note,
Ive been running in wintertime for many seasons. If you are being lazy and trying to drum up reasons not to run outside cuz its "too cold", I hearby call your bluff. Suck it up! Getting off the couch is the hardest part okay, once you get out there its great and you'll feel better about your ol waistline come this spring. Dont give me any shit about "slipping and falling" either, I have *touching wood** never fallen in the wintertime. In the 10+ years Ive been running, I have fallen and eaten shit twice, and it was both in the summertime on a gravel road. Same place actrually, Cokato road, road rash and bruises all down my bod, so sad. True story.

Reunion

2011-02-06T09:31:00.000-08:00

Scotch

2011-01-31T13:55:00.000-08:00

This fall I embarked on a long long time dream. I took the first step to one day becoming a sommelier and took my level 1 wine fundamentals class. After 6 weeks of driving to Calgary for class, drinking and drinking, spending lots of money, it was all worth it for the 97% on my transcript. CHEERS!

Keeping with my theme of education AND drinking, I spent last Friday night in Calgary attending my Level One Scotch class. I only really got into scotch/whisky a year or two ago. Turns out, Im completely fascinated! When I walked in and realized I would be toasting and sipping with many older gentlemen all night I somehow felt completely at home and LOVING IT.

I did pick the weekend that the monster snowfall alert came into effect. So, rather being safe then sorry, I stayed an extra night in Calgary missing my beloved BCDC concert. Wasnt bad tho, I found myself drooling and blowing my wallet in the Kensignton Wine Market along side my long time partner in crime Jennifer Cliffay. Later that night with the snow falling, Sex and the City and temp dropping we opened one bottle with Jenn's AMAZING slowcooker dinner. The Borgata Pinot Grigio, from the Veneto area in Itlay was really perfect, cuz it reminded me of patio sipping, which will one day come again! I needed a glimmer of hope that summer will be back again.

I shall report in on my gold wine finds there later. But first, I just have to share, even if you have no desire to learn how to taste whisky, you gotta see this vid! This dude is FOR REAL! Love Him!
