Tommy found us a new wine last time he was in Buenos Aires. We've determined that the bottle contains EXACTLY four of these fine Waterford red wine glasses at the exact mark of the arrow. See?

Yes, definitely good...and worth fighting for that last glass.

I think I can safely say this can be filed under "What is Good". Tommy's brother sent us this for Christmas. Now, normally a small appliance like this is something nice to have but also something that you might rarely use.

However...we have an 11 year old in the house. HE seems to think that it makes sense that with each and every meal, at least one thing should be deep fried. It's gotten so bad that I've taken to deep frying just his stuff and cooking my stuff a more healthy way. I mean, seriously...I'd weigh 300 pounds very soon if I kept eating fried food at every meal.

Two days ago, I put the deep fryer under the counter in a cabinet, hoping that the "out of sight, out of mind" theory would apply.

No such luck.

Today, I'll be deep frying a potato cut into steak fries for him and his friend at lunch.

Help.

We've had this little bottle of Chilean wine sitting around for a while. I know I've had it once before, but know I know for sure it's the absolute BEST bottle Mr. Average has brought home so far. As you can see, I have left a little in the carafe due to the requirement that if I finish it I have to wash it. No chance. Mr. Average will have to wash it himself once he has the rest tomorrow night...that is, if his damn cough is gone by then. Anyway, let's just say this wine is just like drinking the best grape juice in the world...with a kick. It's an absolute joy and so belongs in the "What is Good" category. Few things do, you know.

P.S. You know the wine is good when the next day you attempt to make waffles on the George Foreman grill instead of the waffle iron. That's all I'm saying about that....

My hubby's back from Chile and he brought with him my most favorite of all the wines he's ever found while "working". It's the Morande' Vineyard Limited Edition Syrah/Cabernet Savignon from the Maipo Valley. Most excellent.

I know some people claim that sugar is bad, especially for kids. But I have to say from personal experience - as it relates to Scytheboy - sugar is GOOD. It makes so many things possible. Like ensuring he gets the proper amount of fruits in his diet - just cover them with sugar and he will eat anything. Sugar also gets you lots of hugs - like when you make sugar cookies. Then you get lots of hugs. Sugar gets you lots of things. But most importantly.....it can get you a nice, long nap on a rainy afternoon. If you eat sugar and give your family sugar, then about an hour later everyone gets that nice, sleepy sugar slump and the house suddenly becomes a LOT more quiet...and then you get a nap. Yes, indeed. Sugar is good.

Red wine from Argentina. To ensure good tidings, Mr. Average rarely returns from South America without wine. So, share.....WHAT IS GOOD?
