I prefer varietals to all that blended stuff (except for Cabernet-Souvignon). When a winery has to blend all their grapes to come up with a drinkable product it tells me that they aren't very good at growing grapes. -- Janet Wilder Way-the-heck-south Texas Spelling doesn't count.

I ate a pear! (really)
I just ate a pear! It was ripe and juicy and nicely chilled from the
fridge. I sliced some room temp blue Stilton cheese to eat with my wonderful pear. Washed it down with a vodka martini. -- Janet Wilder Way-the-heck-south Texas Spelling doesn't count.

Canned pears in heavy syrup, arrange each pear half on a leaf or two of lettuce, top with shredded Velveeta, and drizzle with a dressing of Miracle Whip, milk, pear juice, and sugar. I realize that the Miracle Whip and Velveeta will make some people gag, but it shows Mom's Depression-era roots, and I still like the stuff. |

There's quite a difference between an unmoderated newsgroup and moderated forums, isn't there. One place allows for people to say what they really think, whereas the other places limitations on the same. Put those same people from faecebook here... I wonder what would happen. |

I'm still loving my pears here. I've been simply slicing the pears ( and the odd apple) into a bowl, add cream, brandy or vanilla essence and/or maple syrup. These pears taste so different to me, partly because they are my own (I guess), but clearly they are at their peak of ripeness, right now. They just seem to be extra fragrant, tender and tastier than pears I've had before. |

A few years ago we celebrated new years eve in Buenos Aires, Argentina at a party held in a Tango show venue. Dinner came with the price of the evening and there were bottles of Malbec on the table. I probably drank three or four of them myself over the course of the evening. I was dancing with everyone...old, young, male, female... didn't matter to me, I was in uber-party mode and having a great time. Later, after celebrating the new year with a whole bunch of sparkling wine, I figured I'd wake up the next AM with one hell of a red wine headache. Didn't happen because the Malbec was local wine and not treated with sulfites. Some day I'm gonna get me back to Buenos Aires for the Malbec and the best ever in my life rib eye steaks. If it wasn't for my experiences in BA, I think I would have died not knowing w3hat meat really tastes like. -- Janet Wilder Way-the-heck-south Texas Spelling doesn't count.
