Simple Summer Sangria! Multo Refrescante!

Start with a basic Red Wine of choice.  We have tried a good domestic Cabernet with terrific results.  In an footed ice tea glass or balloon wine glass fill with ice, pour 1/2 glass of red wine, then fill the remainder of the glass with fresh squeezed orange juice.  Add the juice of half a lime and garnish with fruit.  Stir.  This simple version is most refreshing and adds the right amount of dry and sweet together with a wonderful citrus chill.  Enjoyable for the rest of the Summer months! 

And now for something completely different -

A neighbor turned me on to the Best of Craigslist which contains the most insane and often insanely funny expired ads from Craigslist.

If you are feeling blue and need a pick-me-up!  Read some of these and you will be rolling on the floor with laughter!

Just thinking - a new vision for my Blog

Like Making a cake (or several) the right ingredients need to be in the mix.  My true hope for my postings is to pull together my favorite sources for art/culture/food/style/popular figures/etiquette/books and anything else that would add a little information to a life well lived.  - More to come!

A Place to Think about the Simple Joys of Life...

My new blog-spot is a bit of a stretch for me... after becoming disenchanted with Facebook... (a.k.a. - Complaint-Book to my friends).  I thought I would try a new spot to post ideas/links/recipes not only for food/entertaining but dreams and ideas on enjoying life with all of its pleasure and pains.
