I am never going to lose any weight. No matter how hard I try to start the day with the best intentions, something always sabotages me. Alright it’s me, I’m the saboteur, I admit it. I’m just weak. This morning I took a couple of chicken breasts out of the freezer and put them in…

Today’s Wine Review
I seriously overate last night. I’m still recovering today and see about an hour on the elliptical. We have a tradition that for your birthday, you pick your menu and I will fix it for you. From the salad to the dessert whatever you want, I will fix it from scratch. Last night it was…

What could be better than a nice tender prime rib dinner? Served rare of course. Well how about the perfect bottle of wine to go along? Too bad that didn’t happen this time. I roasted a small prime rib for the two of us and it turned out very tasty. I cut small slits in…

Winter has come to visit with a vengeance. Freezing rain, sleet and snow all in the same day. At least it happened on the weekend, so hopefully by Monday the road crews will have enough time to get the highways and side streets cleared off. It’s a good weekend to stay inside and eat comfort…

Last night we went to a sparkling wine tasting hosted by one of our local liquor stores. I had never been to a sparkling wine tasting and thought it would be fun. Champagne and sparkling wine is really hard for me to buy because for one we don’t drink much sparkling wine which makes it…

I love the holidays. The hustle and bustle, Christmas shopping and the holiday parties, all keep me hopping. I love baking all the different kinds of cookies, pies and cakes. I always tell myself I will just have one taste, but that turns into two and three and so on. I don’t love the weight…

Wine makes a great gift for Christmas. It’s always at the top of my list. But for some, buying wine can be very intimidating, especially if the buyer isn’t a wine drinker. We get wooed by all different wine label designs, graphics and cutesy names. The label screams, “Come taste me, I’m the wine for…

It is a frosty morning to be sure, all of one degree Fahrenheit today with a high near seventeen. A good day to stay inside and clean, okay scratch that, I had a weak moment. How about cleaning out your closet, I only suggest that so that you have ample room for Christmas gifts and…

Winter has come knocking on our door with a passion. We woke up to only a light dusting of snow, but the temperatures are in the teens and there is a stiff wind out of the north. Temperatures like this make me want to stay in inside and cook. Besides cooking is much safer than…
Today’s Wine Review
The bulk of the wines I taste are priced between $10 and $20 dollars, not because I don’t want to taste pricier wines, but because the mortgage company, gas and electric company all have a strong opinion on what they want me to spend on wine. Selfish utilities. I do splurge occasionally on pricier wines,…

My name is Susan Kelly and I am no wine expert. Far from it, but I love everything about wine, from learning about where the grapes are grown, to the process of making wine and finally to the drinking of wine. Wine to me is a lifelong experience, kind of like love, it’s not the…
