Hostess Fruit Pie, One Less Thing For Me to Eat Before I Die
I was all over these as a kid. I would get them from the store after school. Delicious treat, but now, I'm not sure I would want to eat it!

Fracchia Voulet Casourzo 2007, I just love sweet wine...this is a sparking, yummy, red Italian. I also recently tried a Sarracco Moscato d'Asti that was a delicious sparly white Italian. Yum!

In Gear: Flour Sack Kitchen Towels (An Old-Fashioned Staple for Modern Kitchens)
I love my flour sack towels. They are fabulous in drying, as in the post since they don't leave any lint and are quick drying. I have noticed though that my towels have have holes in them. They are probably ready for replacement, but I will porbably keep on using. Sur La Table has them in great retro prints as well plain.

I see into the future to the day we pop open the bottle of Cristal in my fridge to celebrate the thing its being saved to celebrate.

My most memorable glass of wine might be Pike’s 2004 Dry Riesling. While at the Disney EPCOT Food and Wine Festival last year I attended a seminar on Australian wine regions and we discussed the Clare Valley region. The presenter said in his opinion you can never go wrong with any Riesling that is grown in the Clare Valley. Being a Riesling gal I asked him afterwards what his favorite was and he suggested the 2004 Pike’s. It’s a screw top wine and runs about 18-dollars locally. It was one of the best non-German Rieslings I have had…crisp with a bite to it. It was amazing with an asparagus risotto that I made once. It is now one of my most favorite Rieslings to purchase!

Those things are delicious, but oh man- look at the nutrition information! They are positively lethal.
That being said, I like lemon :)

Have had a number of memorable wines, or wine drinking experiences, the first of which comes to mind is at the John Ash restaurant in northern CA, where the sommlier recommended a wine from the J vineyard.
Hostess Fruit Pie, One Less Thing For Me to Eat Before I Die
That sad item is so NOT A HOSTESS PIE!!! We still have the half-moon shaped beauties here in Tennessee.
I think I need to send a few Robyn's way! That sad picture of those odd squares has me heading to the store and post office ASAP.
Can I send them to the same address posted for the "Eat Me" stickers??

I recognized those as Drake's right away and was curious as to why it also said "Hostess" on the package.
@jeninewsbite, it does make a difference. If they sit on the shelf too long, the moisture of the filling softens the crust. Still, eating them "fresh" is not going to suddenly make them OMG AMAZING, but it does make them better by a fair amount.

Chocolate......I don't like the cherry. Well, I don't like any of them now, but I always ate the chocolate ones.

Another, "hey, that's not a Hostess fruit pie!"
My favorite was the lemon. I haven't had one in years, though.
