MFK Fisher, the beginnings

Christian Science Monitor delivered a short and sweet article about this female foodie. Enjoy!

A Little Ridiculous

I was giggling to myself last night as I browsed the June 30 Wine Spectator, and came upon a pretty funny article, "The Critical Half-Inch" by Matt Kramer about becoming a "wine geek" and taking oneself too seriously. 

Lo and behold, I came across another article today out of the Houston Chronicle, "My beer's too hot, my wine's too cold, my Coke is just right" devoted to the exact perfect temperature our beverages should be served at. 

These articles serve as reminders to me that while temperature is certainly important, there is a tipping point from attention to detail across the line to obsessiveness. Enjoy wine -- that's what it is there for!!
