Love the tempraniyo!

QOTD: Calbee brand granola with dried fruits. It has strawberries, pumpkin, azuki beans, coconut, and a couple other dried fruits. It’s ooohhh so good. With some organic soy milk it kills it!

I’ve been eating flavored oatmeal breakfast bars lately….been hankering for some cocoroos from target. If you haven’t tried cocoroos, they’re the culmination of society and the universe formed into balls of chocolaty goodness.

If we’re talking California Tempranillo at a great QPR, you can’t beat Barnwood 2004 Untamed Tempranillo from the Santa Barbara area. It rolls in at around $18.

Yo. QOD: organic, locally produced granola (near Milwaukee). I forget the farm where it comes from, but it is so delicious. I eat it either with soy or rice milk – the fat from milk just kills how it feels in my mouth, and skim milk is blasphemous. Anyhow, tempranillo seems like a great varietal – looking into it.

Great show Gary… although every time you get mail on your Mac I get fooled and check my mail.

THANK YOU for bring out the thunder by exploring the less common grape varietals! Now if I could just find a decent wine store in my part of the woods I’d be good.

Gary, love your expression when the Oak Monster rears it’s ugly oaky head !!
I’ve had the La Linda at my local pizza joint and it’s totally a win for the QPR. Good call.

QOTD: Mountain Madness Mango Granola (all natural), yes I’m from Seattle so the cereal fits the stereo-type, but it’s really good, big chunks of dried mango in large chunks of granola, gonna go get a bowl right now !!

From the ages 7 to 13 I ate 2 bowls of cereal a day, and just about everything except the sugary fake colored crap. I burnt myself out hard. I’m 27 and I haven’t touched the stuff since seventh grade

QOtD – Kashi Oat flakes ‘n blueberry clusters… yum!

Smarties: are you reffering to the m&m-like candy coated milk chocolate sugarmonsters or the tangy tarty rolls?

Also, get some good, salty, fishy japanese green tea and let a generous amount steep in water in the fridge over night. Makes some of the most amazing iced tea. Get the right kind and it’ll end up almost sweet! I’m guessing the saltiness of Japanese green tea is what makes the flavor stand out so much, Chinese green teas never seem to pull it off well.

Finally, no, I have never crushed a handful of ants and smelled them before… I fear I may be too old to try this, but… Damn it all, FOR SCIENCE!

Yea man, sorry, been watching, yet lurking a bit. Currently eating Lucky Charms and Cinnamon Toast Crunch ONLY because they were on sale for $2.50 a box down from like 5-plus bucks. This is a once in a blue moon type thing. I grew up in a household where it was oatmeal or cheerios everyday. But you always had that friend who’s parents didn’t give a damn. You’d stay overnight and you’d be lovin’ it because you’d be watching Double Dare or Heathcliff on Nickelodeon while eating a bowl of Cookie Crisp followed by a bowl of Count Chocula or Dr. Frankenberry with the possibility of Oreos and milk for dessert. Naw mean? Anyway, i drank the shit outta Tempranillos when me and some Aussie friends roadtripped it thru Spain summer of ‘06. Get nostalgic when I drink it. You’re doing us all good doing what you’re doing. I heard you mention the possibility of doing a beer-tasting episode. Must say, you would be quite cool if you did a Oregon microbrew episode. As you know, Portland is at the forefront of the world’s beer brewing culture. I can recommend some very obscure yet amazing local beers. We’ll talk at your book signing. Cheers! Oh yea, my B-day is Cinco de Mayo. Turning 28!
