KADARKA

Here is an interesting combination of "east meeting west":

Kadarka wine together with salami sausage and tortilla chips and salsa dip!

CARMENERE

Last weekend I went to a tasteful wine tasting. I have to make a note to buy a bottle of Tarapacá Carmenère 2002 in the near future.

UPDATE 10/11/04: I had a hard time to pick out the different wines at the blind test, so maybe John Cleese could give me some help at the next wine tasting. Would you buy a "wine clip"?

LET'S DANCE

My interest in learning how to dance has increased a great deal after watching the movie, Shall We Dance?

UPDATE 03/07/05:
Read Scott Holleran's interview (Steppin' Out) with film director Peter Chelsom.

BEBEL GILBERTO

Bebel Gilberto sounds like a musical artist in my taste. I found her site via an odd chain of links...

CHILE PEPPER CHEYENNE

I just harvested my first batch of chile pepper fruits. I have about 20 pieces of Cheyenne F1 Hybrid. I am thinking of making a jar of pickled chile peppers. Are you a chilehead?

BLOGPET

I have got a virtual blog pet! [Hat tip to Karl Martin Mertens.] [Editor's comment: I have to compensate for missing the Tamagotchi craze... Haha!;)]
