Though I’m not a big Twitter or celebrity person, as previously expressed, it’s pretty cool to see David Rosengarten following me on Twitter. Maybe he saw what I wrote about him or maybe it’s not really him!? You can’t be too sure about the virtual world, but I’m sure I learned a lot from him on Taste several years ago — That’s real, and what I like most about this post.
Note: Photo is completely unrelated. It’s been so beautiful here lately and just walked 12 miles that started with a Naked Juice and freshly baked Morning Bun from Fresh & Easy.
I used to sneak Champagne into movie theaters when I was younger, and to be completely honest, can’t say I wouldn’t do it again. Popping the cork quietly was always a challenge and it was doubly uncomfortable when the empty bottle would roll (all the way) down the aisle between the seats. Fortunately we were never identified. TODAY, if I go to Island Cinema, I won’t have to be covert – One may freely sip Champagne with a Panini in the other hand, while watching a movie. Learn more about Island Cinema here, here and here. We’re wondering if the food is good and will report back when known. We like the concept of all.
A surprise at the office on Friday made my day – Walked in to a pile of presents on my desk and a box of Donuts nearby. A couple days a week at EPL’s corporate headquarters (as a Paralegal, Consultant) enhances living. Before and after will always be tasty grilled Chicken.
You’re lucky to like your job, or in some cases just have one – I thankfully enjoy a few.
And now keen on 2 Pounds of See’s Candy, Homemade Apple Juice and candles – Sounds like a party. I never had 2 Pounds of Chocolate. Is it really Apple Juice or Moonshine? I won’t tell.
I feel bizarre – What’s in there? JK, lovin’ the freshly juiced Gala and Fuji Apples with the Nuts & Chews, at a pace to avoid chaos. Thank you! I’m very grateful for all. The little things and big picture matter most. Merry Christmas, love and feast on earth. Pass the Moonshine.
I grew up conducting neighborhood Pepsi vs. Coke Challenges and the results were always split down the middle — Each argued passionately for his/her choice. I rarely drink either today, but clearly knew which I liked better back then. At the time, I lobbied heavily for Pepsi. I believed it to be less sweet and more carbonated, though current co-workers feel strongly otherwise in favor of Coke. The Cola Wars continue. Do you have a favorite? With respect to the infografic, I found the acquisitions interesting. The next challenged may be between Naked and Odwalla. Credit: Business Insurance Blog.
I so want to see this bottle amongst the Wine on the shelf — I’d buy it in a heartbeat. Why not tie its price around the bottle neck with a green leaf scarf. It’s one of the coolest Wine bottle labels (or non-labels) I’ve seen. No label needed here, it’s in the design. Would you want to drink it? You know, the outside doesn’t actually need to be made of dirt/earth. 
Oh Belmont Shore I have a special place for thee — Hadn’t been back for some time. Memory lane happened today with a stop at Shannon’s Bayshore for a Shoot the Root and game of pool. A lot has changed and much remains the same on Second Street. A good change for Bayshore is its longer bar that now stretches most the length of its narrow space.
Shoot the Root — A Shot of Root Beer Schnapps dropped into a glass of Beer.
Interestingly the Tequila Alquimia may be our favorite part of the LA Luxury Chocolate Salon, just kidding, sorta. The Chocolates were good too when the lines went down, and the Tequila was needed to tolerate the lines. The Tequila was smoooooth and we enjoyed the nice family who made and generously poured it. As for the Chocolates, I just voted for the best.
As part of the Salon Awards Tasting Panel, I got to taste all and vote for my favorites. The official results will soon be posted, along with additional observations about the event.
Ours looks better than it tastes, but it was refreshing – We’re searching for a better recipe.
We weren’t the only Trunk Bar in stacked parking at The Greek Theatre last night, not that it’s right. Though we only had one shot of Patron and a Corona, we like doing unlawful activities in style — This time it included a Cost Plus World Market Picnic Basket, Tequila, Limes and Salt, while waiting for the Go-Go’s to play. Please drink responsibly. We do. 
08/23/11 Update: Pictured above are the Go-Go’s and winners of the Cost Plus World Market Go-Go’s Getaway Sweepstakes. The official winner was Amanda Wright who invited (10) of her best friends to join her. She had this to say… “The night of the concert was amazing and we were treated like royalty. We managed to fit in Universal Studios, tours of the Chinese and Nokia Theatre, Star walk and an amazing dinner at Yatai Asian Tapas Bar. We actually got to sing Happy Birthday to Belinda Carlisle. It was truly amazing!! We will never forget it.”
When did a Strawberry Shake become $6.75 — I love Häagen-Dazs, but what a shake down.
He’s a Snooth Operator, Snooth Operator — YES, Snooth. It’s YOU with Fast Food, a well paired bottle of Wine and hot date. How about it? Pack a tablecloth and one of the suggested bottles of Wine with a couple glasses and head to your favorite Fast Food Joint.
Order a Burrito at Chipotle, Big Mac at McDonalds or Fried Chicken at KFC, find a table, pop the cork, pour, sip and bite, until you get kicked out for bringing in alcohol. Chicks will dig it!
Snooth helps one find better Wines. Their suggested pairings for Chipotle Mexican Grill, McDonalds and Kentucky Fried Chicken are linked above. I dare you to dine in. If so, send a photo and we’ll post it here along with future fast food pairings. Thanks for the photos Snooth. Cheers!
What?
No words needed here, just a hand.
For some reason I always wanted to make Peach Iced Tea — It just seems like a refreshing Summer drink. The pictured was made using two Peaches and three Decaf Green Tea Bags.
To make it – Peel, cut and puree the Peaches in a mini food processor, then strain the puree through Cheesecloth to produce the juice pictured in the above pitcher.
Then pour boiling Decaf Green Tea over the Peach puree, directly into the pitcher.
The Decaf Peach Tea is then chilled and served over Ice.
It turned out good, but needed more Peach flavor — Four Peaches will be better next time.
Is this all it takes? Really? Okay, have a happy one.
