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’

    QOTD: My mom’s cheesecake. Other than that I’m actually not a big dessert-eater. I’m more the cup of cappucino after dinner type.

    I mean is there really that much competition in the line-up? Come on Rabaud Promis versus million bottle production moscato, and Jersey fruit wine? Kinda saw this one comin’, but no worries G-Man sometimes one must softly reiterate their points 😉

    QOTD: A well made cannoli, thick..thick. Or a dense cheesecake, NY style with sliced toasted almonds and strawberries. Yes, love it.

  • Green Bay Packer play off hopes are over. 🙁

    I like italian ices. Simple, but yummy.

    I hope to also like the WOTM club. I just signed up for the GV Club – Option B. Woo!

    is that blueberry wine the first fruit wine youve done on the thunder show? im bottling two plum wines this weekend.

    qotd: CHERRIES, CHERRIES, and a crap load more CHERRIES. Im a fresh fruit nut, starting with the early raspberries, the strawberries, currants and gooseberries, plums and peaches, apples and pears and, of course, grapes. Id probably kill myself if I didnt live in the Hudson Valley.
