I know that lodo got married on kind of a bluff overlooking a most fantastic setting. The kids and I were stalkers in his old town last summer.

Beautiful part of the country, but not a place to setup a business specializing in selling umbrellas. Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Alaska are where to make a fortune in the umbrella business.

Nathan did mention that he did liked Bluff for its guns. All we had with us was one crossman bb/pellet gun, a pocket knife and a boomerang. We did have Oregon plates on our vehicle so that probably scared the anti-stalkers away.

What does one do with a boomerang in the Bluffs?

Hey lodo....

I used to only drink Cab, then switched to Shiraz,. Now I am a Syrah girl.Have you ever had Sockeye? I think it's from the Columbia Valley.

I made Coquile St Jacques last weekend....yummy! Also froze some homemade pesto. Are you still cooking alot?

Is there a difference between shiraz and syrah? I just thought they were the same thing but spelled differently. Shows you how much I know \:\)

I haven't had sockeye - will look for it. I assume it's good? Sounds like a fish to me....

Coquille st. jacques? Isn't that the thing that you have to have shells for? I think my high school french teacher made it for a french class dinner. I haven't had it since then. Isn't it really hard to make? Gee, Bethie, are you a gourmet cook or something?

Frozen homemade pesto I've got - ended up with 2 gallons this year. Yum!

I haven't been cooking lately. Feeling a bit overwhelmed with work and a sudden lack of a life. But, my favorite non-cooking dish is mac & cheese with broccoli, onion, jalapeno, red pepper, smoked salmon, and some capers mixed in. It's pretty simple to make but mmmm, good! Nothing like a little orange food when you're feeling off-balance \:\)

OHHH that sounds good I'll have to write it down. When I want something quick (besides Caprise salad) I make angel hair pasta w/ olive oil, grape tomatoes, fresh garlic and basil and grated parmigiano regianno. So good!

Yes Shiraz and Syrah are different.

Wikipedia says...

I couldn't find the 45 label at my whole foods - so I am drinking a Red Truck petite sirah from CA from TJ's. Nice not to pricey table wine. \:\)

I paired my wine with an organic three cheese pizza from TJ's. Carbs always go well with a glass or two of wine.

take care,
AG

thanks ag - what would we do without the information super-highway?

I like red truck a lot too. I get that, Bonnydoon's bighouse red, Coppola's red, and then whatever one has a label I like. When you're a graphics person, you can't drink a wine if it has a crappy label.
