spiceblog - Beringer White Zinfandel with strawberries but no cream.
This was my bring-thing for Lubica’s party this afternoon. I hadn’t tried any before, but it’s the wine my boss drinks, and we always seem to sell out of it pretty quickly. I now understand why, because it is completely yummy. In fact, I found myself half-wishing that I had run off to Lu’s place to get smashed on it when I met her on the way up.
The wine is a sweet rosay (how do you do those little ‘e’s properly?) and super-fruity too. It went very well with strawberries and even with home-made salsa and corn chips. Those who like very dry wines might find it a bit ‘ick’, but those people suck, so who cares? Wine shouldn’t be painful all the time.
As a postscript to this; never get drunk with your teachers from uni. It’s hard to keep up the pretence of being intelligent when you just want to play with the cat and poke your tongue out at people. You will be tense and it will reduce your lifespan.

That would have been odd. Me and Wade just watched Card Captor Sakura for like… 9 and a half hours. Is that a miscalculation? I hope so. If you had come and we had got drunk too, it would have been odd.
Rosé. This computer has it on automatic.

Actually in real life - I have more than one life you see - anyways in real life, I would probably play with the cat and stick my tongue out at people while I was sober and most people would still think I am intelligent. Either the people are confused or else extreme silliness is a sign of genius. Extreme drunkeness is probably a sign of great depression though.
*shrugs* As you can see midafternoon is not the greatest time to get me to make sense of anything.

It usually goes
“So I said if you think being results in consciousness then you’re certainly putting Descartes before the horse..ah excuse me hmmmuuwaahhhhhhhhbwoooooaaargggh ”
Classy leftfield choice on the wine, I’m off to the bottleshop to research my recco that I’ve forgotten about, in the mean time the copyright lawyers are on the way.

Don’t worry. I’ll rip everyone off sooner or later. It’s just you’re such a good target.
Now go post another photo of yourself so I can stick a woman’s head on it.

Oi you fookers there’ll be heads stuck on posts if this keeps up.

Corr-back to battling with loonybitarians.

I’m not in the mood to leap back into that fray right now, Anthony.
And what about you? Two whole days and no new recipes?

Ha! It’s like watching the hopeless singers in Australian Idol - terrible yet so strangely fascinating you don’t want them to stop.
Kitchen’s on hold until people digest the IMBB7 post, in the mean time I’m wondering what I can say to get 70 comments in the food world.
