Meet the Newest Member of Our Family.

November 23, 2009 22

Eben has wanted a baby Pug for about 5 years. He saw the movie Milo and Otis when he was little and from that time on, he has been hooked on Pugs. Since we already had 2 dogs, we told him that he would have to wait until he was older before we would get another dog. Then, Saturday night Mr. Sweet Greens surprised Eben and I when he brought home this little sweetie. Mr. Sweet Greens told Eben that he thought Kugel {A Jewish Noodle Dessert} would be a great name for her. Eben agreed, but kept calling her Noodles instead of Kugel. So, that was that, meet the newest member of our family. This is Noodles or as Mr. Sweet Greens calls her, ‘Oodles of Noodles’ and we love, love, love her. You can see more pictures of Noodles here.

What do you think of Noodles?

Green Your Thanksgiving:: Quivira Vineyards & Winery

November 23, 2009 1

Mr. Sweet Greens and I received a lovely package of wine from Quivira Vineyards and Winery. We have enjoyed Quivira wines in the past, and were also very excited to enjoy the wine together since Mr. Sweet Greens still needs to pick up the wine to go with Thanksgiving Dinner.

We received a bottle of 2008 Savignon Blanc {Fig Tree Vineyard, Dry Creek Valley} $18 and a bottle of 2007 Zinfandel {Dry Creek Valley} $34 and once again we feel in love. Quivira has the loveliest wines that is biodynamic. Fabulous, right?

We enjoyed the 2007 Zinfandel with a lovely Greek meal that Mr. Sweet Greens prepared for us. The 2007 Zinfandel was delicious and complimented the meal perfectly. It was warm and fruity and not too dry, really it was perfect. We thought this wine would also compliment a fancy meal such as Thanksgiving Dinner, it would be the perfect wine to toast with. It is delightful and this was Mr. Sweet Greens favorite wine that we enjoyed.

We enjoyed the 2008 Sauvignon Blanc with dessert and it was lovely. The 2008 Sauvignon Blanc was my absolute favorite and I am still sipping a glass as we speak while enjoying some lovely dark chocolate. It is crisp and clean with hints of melon and citrus. It is a beautiful color and would be perfect to serve this Thanksgiving. The 2008 Sauvignon Blanc is my absolute favorite and Mr. Sweet Greens and I both agreed that ‘we need many, many more bottles of it!’

I think that Quivira Wine would make a lovely addition to your Thanksgiving Dinner and I also think it would make a lovely hostess gift for the upcoming winter holidays. Who doesn’t love a fabulous bottle of wine?

What type of wine will you be serving this Thanksgiving?
