What this place is...

I like wine. A lot. So does my husband. Yet wine snobs we are not. Our version of wine typically comes in a bottle (box? pshaw, only when camping), has a cork or screw top, and a smell faintly like vinegar with sour grape juice. We like it that way.

While we can sniff, swirl, and swish with the best of them, there is something comfortable and unpretentious about our "puking bear wine" (which costs us a whopping $2.99 a bottle). You might cringe but keep in mind we are newlyweds on a budget with incredibly low standards. Don't judge. 

So what goes better with wine than food? Not a whole heck of a lot.

Senior Maximus and I both love food more than wine. Sometimes we even love food more than other people. We try new recipes weekly and make old favorites whenever we can. Cooking is a form of stress relief and a way for us to connect after a long day in the outside world. Our kitchen is our haven.

So what the heckaroo does this have to do with you and why would you want to read it? We have realized what a connection wine and food has brought us as a couple and even between us and our frequent dinner guests. The world would be a better place if everyone sat down with a full glass, ate some good foods, and left their crap at the door. So be inspired, eat, drink, and enjoy!
