Hostess Fruit Pie, One Less Thing For Me to Eat Before I Die

Those things are delicious, but oh man- look at the nutrition information! They are positively lethal.

That being said, I like lemon :)

How to Be a Wine Snob

I find this article a little silly. who are these wine snobs and why are the rest of us paranoid about what they will think when we are drinking? While it might be nice to gain some knowledge about wine tasting and the process, if you are uneducated, faking it is not necessary.

How to Be a Wine Snob

Monkeycat -- At a number of the scotch tastings I've been to, they've talked about the reasons to add a bit of water to your scotch. I'll be honest, I don't quite remember the how of it happening, but somehow in the process of creating scotch, the cells are leached of water and close down, trapping the flavor and the scent in them.

Dropping a few drops of room temperature water, will "rehydrate" them and allow their true flavor and scent to be released. It does work. Try having a bit of scotch without doing it and then add a few drops of water and taste it. I usually use a straw and do about half a strawful, while my husband will actually pour probably a tablespoon or so of water into his scotch.

This is awesome. I've tried to do the thing where I throw in keywords like "It has the aroma of blackberry and maybe a little fresh tire tread" or something to mess with people. :-)

I appreciate the tongue-firmly-implanted-in-cheek while nose-in-wine-glass humor. Lighten up and smile!

Paula Deen Is Trying to Kill Us, Part 5: Butter, Mayo, Whiz Cheese Spread

No wonder she's a tubber! Dean, and many people who eat her fat-laden recipes, is at risk wind up having a massive coronary. The Fred Sanford variety, chest-clutching et al, "Elizabeth, I comin' to meet you darlin'. I ate a deep fried butter ball and deep fried mac and cheese!"

I like to watch her show just to see how she's going to top herself from day to day. Bacon wrapped mac and cheese in a deep fryer. I missed the fried butter balls episode. Too freakin funny!

The specks annoy me, however I do like green mint ice cream (which bothers my mom...).

If I have to have vanilla, I prefer the French Vanilla from Vic's in Sacramento. (they have two vanillas)
