Ingredients for making Catalina French Dressing.

I came home from work – starving!
I wanted a salad & was in the mood for FRENCH Dressing.
I put it on the grocery list but that was not helpful for my current situation.

So I decided to MAKE my OWN! I love doing this when I can.
Eat less processed food.

THE RECIPE I used as a guideline.
I rarely “listen” to recipes & always do my own thing.

after having salad with my DELICIOUS home-made
Catalina French Dressing —
I crossed it OFF the grocery list — I won’t need
to buy that ever again!!
Would you like me to make YOU some??

the downfall of working at a wine, beer, liquor store.
I bought beer, wine & liqueur….
It cost me $15 to go to work today….
but we do have AWESOME prices!!!!

Diary of the Happiest Employee on Earth

Book I just finished reading…….
My friend Rich wrote this book & I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND reading it.
It is easy reading & you will definitely identify with much of what is written.
You will also want to order one for your boss & their boss as well.
I can send them out anonymously if you want – let me know……..

We got these hats on our Black Bear Century
bike ride a couple weeks ago.
FREE to a good home.
It’s nicely embroidered & good quality. and FREE!
if you want it – you know what to do!
Q

I posted this too late for you to actually buy one —
but the SPOOKY MONKEYS are a cool creation.
I usually get one every year.

All the spooky monkeys are sold out but Kim can always
make you a “regular” one – they are awesome gifts!

Decoy Napa Valley Red Wine 2007

Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc & Petit Verdot.

Bouquet displays hints of raspberry/blackberry.

The tannins are smooth & not super dry.

Medium to Fuller-bodied with a nice start but a little lacking on the finish.

Pairs great with heavier cheeses such as ParmigianoReggiano

 also would go nicely with a steak.

Goes pretty good with chocolate too – that’s what I had last night…..
