food blogs: What Not to do With 200 Year-Old Champagne
- 05/12/11 05:32 AM
Did you see this? Divers found a shipwreck with 150 bottles of perfectly preserved champagne. 200 years at the bottom of the Baltic Sea actually helped in the aging process.

Here's a great link for you to see how to make your own cocktails. Happy Eating! (or drinking) … (4 comments)

- 03/21/11 06:26 AM
Did you ever read a recipe and think, "Those flavors don't sound like they work together"? Just about every Saturday, during my morning cup of coffee, I like to watch the Foodnet channel to get some inspiration for meals I might want to cook during the weekend.

food blogs: More-Than-A-Side Dish Couscous Recipe
- 02/14/11 04:53 AM
More-Than-A-Side Dish Couscous Recipe - I found a box of couscous in the back of my pantry that I had never opened. I can't even remember when I bought it.

I really enjoy putting flavors together and, well, baby spinach was on sale and I recently discovered Feta cheese. I know! How on earth had I missed that one?! Here's a recipe I created yesterday and it turned out to be one of my favorite … (8 comments)
