With all the bones of tea and frescoes of Lord Nelson in my dungeon, I thought this would be a fun meme (ganked from ladyhamilton)

heh, i had large mosaics of amanda tapping and frescos of richard dean anderson in my dungeon... plus the sound of sam/jack in the distance (i've come to the conclusion i should be disturbed by this, but the fangirl-shipper part of my brain refuses).

but anyways, i'm game! you know my name, it's aoife_hime, otherwise known as c-line.

*snickers* The sounds of Sam/Jack? Oh dear! Though watching Season 8, I think I'm turning into a Sam/Teal'c shipper. Strange, I know!

I'm curious about these reuben rolls. Just a foodie who wants to know more!

*grumbles* if jack were around more in season 8, things would be better... but there definitely is something going on with teal'c in that season. don't know what, but i think he's re-discovering his mojo or something.

alrighty, reuben rolls. think of a spring roll and a reuben sandwich. then combine them so that the filling of the reuben sandwich is inside the spring roll (instead of the vegetables). then add thousand island dipping sauce and you've got yourself an irish fest masterpiece. because that's where reuben rolls are from: milwaukee's irish fest. they obviously aren't the healthiest things in the entire universe, but they're delicious and only come about every august so i figure what the hell!

I quaffed a potion called Tori Amos and it tasted like wicca. And From far off I could hear the sounds of british crosswords! *snort*

so, pick me! rachel1975

What would wicca taste like? Hmmm. On that note, I'm curious about ohio wine - being a snooty californian and all!

Heh heh. You asked for it...

I live in Cleveland, right on the shores of Lake Erie, so Ohio wines are readily available. The best (and most award winning) winery nearby to me is Ferrante Vineyards. Amazing wines. And at around $6-20 a bottle, you can't beat it. (Their Vidal Blanc Ice Wine is $30, but a Gold Medal winner in several competitions- it's as good as Ice Wine gets.) There's also Debonne Vineyards, Lonz Vineyards, Firelands Vineyards, etc. (As a matter of fact, Lonz's Cream Concord dessert wine is the only wine I'll drink with a screw on top! And it's around $5 a bottle.) All these river valleys feeding into the Great Lakes make for amazing grapes. You can't get better Catawba wine than in Ohio. Believe it or not, Ohio wines do very well in wine competitions all over the world and are becoming well respected (finally) internationally. Just last week, there was a competetion of 10 varieties, comparing Ohio wines, California wines, and European wines. Ohio won 3, and tied or nearly tied in another 5. What it is, is that the vineyards here tend to be pretty small compared to CA. The batches aren't as big, so they aren't as widely distributed. You can get CA wine in any grocery store in OH, but you can't get OH wine in CA.

If you like wine, you should try some Ohio wines. I guarantee you won't be disappointed! I know both Ferrante and Debonne sell direct from their websites. (www.ferrantewinery.com and www.debonne.com) I recommend the Vidal Blanc Ice Wine, Jester's Blush, any reisling and both the White and Pink Catawba from Ferrante and Razzberry Reisling, Harmony and River Rouge from Debonne.

Ice Wines and rieslings are some of my favorite wines! Three years ago I lived in Germany, right in the middle of riesling country, and you could by a bottle of the good stuff for two euros. It was absolutely fantastic! Anything that tastes good cold and sweet. And now that we can buy wines over the Net (yay!), I may have to spring for a bottle. I just never thought of Ohio as a wine producing state - and now I have been enlightened. Thank you!

Ferrante, I know, gives a 10% discount for web orders, too! not sure about Debonne.

Baaaah!

As someone who also likes putting her characters through the wringer, why do you like torturing characters?

Fagitious wig abuse. How could I not ask about that!

BTW, I absolutely love your Nelson icon. That's a gorgeous painting!

Basically, doing bad/destructive/amusing things to wigs, such as dyeing them strange colours, throwing them in the ocean, burning them, or cooking them. It's an awesome genre of Pirates of the Caribbean fandom.

Thank you! It's my favourite picture of him. =)
