Some recent questions I have been bombarded with…..
Are there any quality red wines in my $30 budget?
How about an everyday dinner wine, say around $10? Do people drink wine everyday?
I only drink Pinot Noir, which is your favorite?
And most commonly….Sarah what are you drinking?
I have one simple answer to these common questions. Read TASTINGS.

I reported this last week on Trevor's "homecoming" experience of finding a Vietnamese restaurant serving Pho. We have since been there twice, that is a lot for me, I am a bread & butter kinda gal. But alas, I have reached a milestone this week my self.

Eat food, not too much, mostly plants.
I am playing Oprah for the day. I do not have a book club I belong to, and don’t really care to be told what I should read, however I feel I should share this important book with you. That is right, you can’t tell me what I should read, but I will tell you what to read.

“there is no question that a decade from now, the top viticultural areas of Santa Barbara, Santa Rita Hills and the limestone hillsides west of Paso Robles will be as well-known as the glamorous vineyards of Napa Valley."

Today was one of those miraculous days in Miami when my husband and I realize this is the city we will spend the rest of our lives. We are officially ready to put down roots, buy a house, and pay our parking tickets. We made this crucial decision after he wondered out of the dentist’s office in search of a cab.

Typically Mighty Blonde is tempered in the way of chocolate. Not because we don’t adore and obsess passionately over it’s sexy mystique and ooh-la-la greatness, but because we feel it is excessively talked about on foodie blogs. That being said, we give ourselves permission to get crazy excited about a spicy little chocolate bar recently purchased at a regular old grocery store.

We recently had a cold front come through Miami. Now I realize most every other part of the country would find our fifty-degree chill humorous, as I slightly do myself. It is after all; snowing in New York, icy in Tennessee, and too bloody cold and gray to handle in Oklahoma, so I will embrace our Miami Chill with a warm bowl of soup.
