Vons had a nice new product tonight. A 2 pound bag of lovely, sweet little
peppers in a rainbow of colors for 5 bucks. They are called sweet minis and
look like jalapenos. They are so sweet and tasty I can hardly believe it.
We're talking sugar sweet. So I whipped up a batch of cream cheese, garlic,
EVOO and parmesan dip. I am munching on these cuties while sipping a Clos
du Bois chardonnay. The two are a perfect compliment.

Well give yourself a great big old pat on the back. Me, I doubt you can eat
anything 3 times let alone for years.

And I was commenting on the delightful combination of this ONE chardonnay
with the peppers and cream cheese. That is why I named it specifically.

I have posted in the past I live in produce hell. And I do.

Well there you'd be wrong. I eat beans nearly daily. I eat toast for
breakfast 99.9% of the time. My snacks are almost always mashed potatoes,
rice, popcorn or chips and beans. Twice a week I have a snack of some
peanut butter filled pretzels and/or Cornnuts when dinner will be delayed.
Not many. Just a few. Also, daughter and I have a bag of popcorn when we
go to Target which is usually once a week. We share and we rarely finish
the bag. My dinners vary and I rarely eat luch. Quite often I cook a pot
of beans or soup to last the week. This week is different only because I
have things to use up. Am going to make a turkey and wild rice casserole
for tomorrow. Need to go assemble it.

I know. My last trip to Seattle I spent more time in grocery stores than I
did anything else.

He said they have a nice new product. Although the peppers might be new to
them, they are hardly new. Isn't Von's related to Safeway? I do not find
that the Safeway's here have the biggest or best selection of produce.
However the one on Bay Farm Island on Alameda did have really good stuff.
Huge produce selection and I'd often buy heirloom tomatoes there. I once
spent a nice chunk of change on fancy produce and made two very artistic
veggie platters for a party. And then? The woman who had invited me to her
potluck wasn't even home! I never did learn for sure where she was but I
did hear that gambling and excessive drinking were involved.

So there we were, my daughter and I, walking back to my van with the veggie
platters. My friend saw us. Said she was headed to her friend's house for
dinner. Their husbands were away. Said they had a little extra food so
rather than waste the veggies, we could go over there. The kids really did
love the veggies but there were so many, we barely made a dent in them.

Anyway... That was the last time I put any effort into food that I made for
parties at that person's house. They did have parties most every weekend.

Because you can read AND comprehend that is why. I did indeed say new
product in my Vons store. I have heard rumor of sweet peppers for nigh on
these 51 years but gash darn nabbit there they was!

So, he hasn't seen them before at his store. Is that a crime now?

I didn't say that it was. It was just that the tone of his post was as
though he found some new miracle food.

I discovered a miracle combination of this one chardonnay with these
peppers. If you had taste buds you'd know it was to die for. There is
something about their flavor which pairs them perfectly with this Clos du
Bois.

Of which I am partaking of both again tonight.

More like 15 easily. And you not being a wine drinker, and Ripple is not
wine, you'd have no idea what I am talking about. And clearly you have no

Cute movie! I've seen it a couple of times. The parts I remember
best are Walter driving up to some building in a noisy Maserati that
proceeded to die and I also remember the scene where he tells Elaine
that she has to be vacuumed every time she eats.... but I have no idea
what that movie has to do with the products mentioned above.

Thanks, I don't remember that at all - probably because I had no idea
what it was.

I only know of it because it was one of the few types of liquor that we
could easily get. I won't say who got it but it came in flat bottle that
apparently could easily be stuffed up into ones coat or shirt.

Oh! Thanks. It sounds like a flask of hooch. I had no idea. So
it's labeled "MD" as in Medical Doctor?

We referred to it as Mad Dog. I think the real name was/is Mogen David.
Not sure if they still make it any more or not. I believe it was or is a
fortified wine.

Hehe-- 'Mad Dog' [actually Mogen David-- but I've never heard it
called that.]

You've led a very sheltered life, eh?<g>

I must have... but I'm considering myself lucky too. Don't think I'd
want to get near anything called mad dog. <g>

I made a point to look for it at my local convenience store on the way home
today. They still sell it and in 3 flavors that I saw. $3.69 for a bottle
that looks like about 1.5 pint? There was no size (ounces) on the label.

I've never tried it and at this point in my life probably never will.
I still like Hamburger Helper though occasionally.

How can you pass on a fine wine like MD?
Here's the review from bum wine. . . it's "majestic", man.

http://bumwine.com/md2020.html
"As majestic as the cascading waters of a drain pipe, MD 20/20 is
bottled by the 20/20 wine company in Westfield, New York. This is a
good place to start for the street wine rookie, but beware; this dog
has a bite to back up its bark. MD Stands for Mogen David, and is
affectionately called "Mad Dog 20/20". You'll find this beverage as
often in a bum's nest as in the rock quarry where the high school kids
sneak off to drink. This beverage is likely the most consumed by
non-bums, but that doesn't stop any bums from drinking it! Our
research indicates that MD 20/20 is the best of the bum wines at
making you feel warm inside. Some test subjects report a slight
numbing agent in MD 20/20, similar to the banana paste that the
dentist puts in your mouth before injecting it with novocain. Anyone
that can afford a dentist should steer clear of this disaster.
Available in various nauseating tropical flavors that coat your whole
system like bathtub scum, but only the full "Red Grape Wine" flavor
packs the 18% wallop.

Liquor stores are starting to be infiltrated by a 13% variety of
MD 20/20 Red Grape. There is also a new "Blue Raspberry" flavor with
"BLING BLING". Even the lowest functioning of bums will know not to
get swindled out of 5%."

The only Hamburger Helper I ever liked was the Cheeseburger but I could get
the same effect for cheaper with a store brand of mac and cheese in a box.
The others? Bleh. My mom was overly fond of these things and also her
electric skillet. So I was made to make this a lot for dinner. Just bleh.
