Monthly Archives: May 2011 Horton Vineyards, July 2010 I’ve mentioned before how much Eric and I love Virginia wine. Many people don’t know that Virginia even grows wine grapes; we certainly didn’t until moving here. Our honeymoon was in Sonoma, so I’ll admit that we were skeptical when we first visited a winery here. However, that skepticism quickly turned…  Eric and I are both really into bread baking these days. It all started with this Light Wheat Sandwich Bread a couple months ago, and we’ve been hooked ever since. We’ve had bread starter on our counter for quite some time, and Eric has been taking such good care of it that we decided it…  Summertime is one of my favorite times of year. I hate the heat, but I love the carefree feeling that comes along with summer. Weekends spent working on outdoor projects, lots of grilling and cookouts with friends, visitors from back home (it helps that the past two places we’ve lived are near major tourist destinations),…  I know this may come as a shock to some of you, but I’m going to put it out there anyway. There was once a time in my life that I didn’t like brownies. Actually, I wasn’t that fond of chocolate at all. The Easter Bunny would always bring me a white chocolate rabbit, and…  I haven’t always been a fan of shrimp. In the not so distant past, I didn’t like them at all. However, they’ve really grown on me (thanks to Eric, who really likes shrimp and is the only reason I kept trying them). I should’ve realized sooner that grilling them would do the trick for me… |
