A little taste of Summer

My Grand plan today was to bake Macaroons and share the adventure with y'all. I've even gotten the permission to use a picture, from one of the best Macaroon bakers I know of (without ever having tasted her yummies), just to show you how real Macaroons are supposed to look. But I changed my mind. You see ~ if you want a roof over your head and food on the table someone has to work. In our family, while Lille Skatt is still a baby, it is His job to do all the sweat and tears and all off that. His left home for a month on the road today. He was not happy about leaving. Hers wasn't to happy either, but such is life. To help comfort the "all by my self" rush I felt being ... all by my self..., I invited the Mother on a glass of wine. And I'm soon getting to the point ~ I invited the Mother on a wine bought totally because of the name. "Mad Housewife". If you ask half the people I know they will tell you that The Mad housewife - that is me. I don't look anything like the Purty lady on the label, but I recognize the look in her eyes and the attitude she ozzes and I can really relate to that. But enough about me ~ Buying wine solely because of the crazy name ~ that's the point. I'm used to buying wine based on criterias like grape, country and vineyard. After arriving to my new home country I realized that you can sell wine solely based on grape or even weirder ~ based on name only. I almost fell over laughing when I first spotted the Fat Bastard, the Bitch and the Elephant on a tightrope, and my latest discovery ~ Mad Housewife. I have no idea if the wine is any good but I do remember the label. Yeah, yeah, yeah I know it's all branding but Hey - it's working. And the Mad Housewife you may ask - was she worth the almost $ 10 I payed for her? Well, she is a sweet, pink, white Zinfandel lady probably best suited for a late Summer night, on the back deck, with a good girlfriend.

Oh well - enough for tonight from the Mad Housewife. Hers and Lille Skatt are leaving on a field trip tomorrow. More about Macaroons and road trips coming soon. Until then ~ so long :)
