You can't just eat one

Look at me now. I'm a food critic. Yesterday was wine and today well, read on.

Mama Zuma's Habanero Potato Chips.

They are some ass kickin chips. Maybe they'll even pair up with the wine from the last post. Who knows? I will tell you that they do go great with a bologna sandwich.

I gotta get me some more of them.

Adios.

I think I've become a wine-o

Finally. The first bottle of wine that I actually like.

Up until a few years ago I couldn't stand the taste of wines. It always looked so good but for some reason I couldn't get past the taste. To me it just tasted of spoiled grapes with a hint of dirty wet socks.

Recently I've been frequenting the new Wine Nation store that opened about three weeks ago out at The Shoppes at Blackstone Valley in Millbury MA, trying out any type of wine I can afford. Some I liked, some I didn't.

Then I found this one. The Velvet Devil Merlot from Washington state. Vinted and bottled by Charles Smith Wines.

You have to try it to appreciate it.

If your looking for a real wine drinkers review of this wine then your reading the wrong blog. I'm just sayin that the stuff is good, has a kick ass name and best of all is cheap.

Check out his website http://www.blogger.com/www.charlessmithwines.com to see some of the other wines he produces. Read the blog while your there. He doesn't update that often but when he does he tells it like it is. It sounds as if the he really loves what he does.

That's really all I have to say. Now get off the internet and go out and get yourself a few bottles and drink them now. That's what they were made for.

I'll end this with a quote from his website that I thought summed it all up nicely.

"It's booze - just drink it!"

When I grow up I want to be a pro skateboarder

So even though it rained I still managed to take my youngest to the skate park up at Green Hill Park this morning. I had promised to take him there last night. He was so excited that he was up and 7:00am, dressed and ready to go.

He had the whole place to himself. I think he just found his new favorite place in the world to go to.

I'm glad I took him.

Tax Free

I find it funny that people from Massachusetts swarmed the stores this past weekend to buy things without having to pay the tax yet these same people, when they had the chance to vote for lower taxes, they voted against it.

I don't get it.

The Telegram to start charging to read online

Here we go again. Starting tomorrow the Telegram has again decided to charge it's online readers. Judging by all the comments it doesn't appear that many people are willing to pay for mediocre news at best, most of which has nothing to do with Worcester.

Good luck Telegram. I know I won't be paying.

Here's the link to the article, but read it quick or you'll end up paying for it.

Did you hear it this morning?

The sound from your grass saying "Ahhhhhhhhhh" as it rained and the cooler weather set in.

On the state of my job and beer

I STILL HAVE A JOB!!!

We had a big lay off today and I survived the cut.

I'm off to pick up a 6 pack of my new favorite beer. Raging Bitch Belgian IPA.

Cheers

Whats For Dinner?

This is on the radar for dinner tonight.

The Krispy Kreme bacon cheeseburger, AKA Baseballs Best Burger. But since there is no Krispy Kreme near me. I'm going to try it with a regular glazed donut from my local donut establishment.

Now where did I put that defibrillator?

On Growing Tomatoes

What gives? I have twelve tomato plants growing in my backyard and so far, at least 75% of the tomatoes I picked have been all rotten on the bottom.

Anyone else have this problem and is there a solution?
