New Year’s Eve: How Do YOU Celebrate?

What are your traditions?  When I was little, my (late maternal) grandmother would light candles with me.  I have NO CLUE where that came from.  She told me it was a “tradition” but I don’t know anyone who does it.  Maybe it was something she invented, but it wasn’t something I ever asked her.  It’s […]

Merlot Cola? For Real?

Yes, it’s for real (brand name is MerloCola) and it’s one of the many exhibitors at this year’s Gourmet Food and Wine Expo.  I tried it and have to admit that it was quite…interesting.  While the small sample was good, I’m not really sure if I’ll ever have a full serving.  I think I’m a […]
