90/100

line of the day -there are loads of classic lines today but I had to choose one and here it is; (referring to a wine and Gingerbread house pairing) -‘kind of like a couple that have been married for a while, both laying in bed reading, not really doing anything’ (wink wink)

Wacky fun episode with loads of quotable lines. As a non-American the gingerbread house is such an American product…’hollywood food’

    Very entertaining episode, Gary, but you got the pairings all wrong. With gingerbread, you want Hansel and Gretel Riesling Auslese. By itself, no Moscato d’Asti is better than 80, and ordinary mothball-scented biscotti rate the same. But as Italians (many of whom actually live in New Jersey) can tell you, the two together are 90+! If you use Lorna Sass’s recipe for whole wheat almond biscotti in her Whole Grains cookbook, 95 and up.

    I had to laugh at Mari’s “but don’t do anything gimmicky like editing.” While I am sure that you do retakes for the times when you accidentally knock the wineglass on the floor in your free-range gestures, the “spilly-spill” and especially your struggles with the plastic gingerbread house packaging convinced me that you’ve got the only genuine reality show out there.

    QOTD: picking only one dessert as my favorite…BAH Impossible, but I’ll give it a go anyway! Keeping in mind the careful balance of flavor and texture…oh who am I kidding. I hate to be cliche, but what-the-heck I will anyway – my mom’s apple pie. Simply delicious, and impossible to duplicate; believe me I’ve tried. The tender, flaky crust with the still-warm from the oven apples – sweet yet still tangy. With a nice simple scoop of vanilla ice cream, it’s better than Norman Rockwell could paint it.

    Also I thought I’d give a shout out to Mott – the unsung hero of WLTV. Keep up the great work (and great zooming)!

    sorry Gary, it seemed like you were in a bad mood from the start or something. I commented that I thought you were ‘off.’ We all have our rough times. But I’m buying that Chateau Rabaud Promis 2005. Oh yeah, “nectar of the Gods?”
