Name: CHEAP WHITE WINE
Alcohol content: 11%
Price: $6.99
Description per label: A Premium California Table Wine
Review: Rather than perplex you with pretentious sommelier speak, the product’s name just about says it all. This pedestrian blend is ambiguously light and almost flavorless. But useless, hell no! Having a cooler full of these generic chic bottles could mean party time. Served en mass, in large plastic cups (on the rocks) the uninspiring white is a summer ode to clammy outdoor activities. In my expert opinion, Cheap White Wine is a semi-decent value. With adequate consumption, this humdrum libation is sure to cool you off and lighten the mood of your barbeque, picnic, summer soiree or an endless graduation ceremony that you are forced to attend.
Suggested pairings: Hot dogs, hamburgers, grilled chicken, Moon Pie ice cream sandwiches and domestic beer.

Father’s Day is coming up next Sunday, June 20th so I wanted to get you my gift pics to allow for sufficient shopping time. In addition to the homemade cards from the kiddos, here are a few items that are guaranteed to please. Well, except for the last item. That’s sort of a passive aggressive selection.

Besides being wickedly funny the most endearing thing about the brash Simon Doonan is that he absolutely adores women. In Eccentric Glamour, Mr. Doonan demands that we buck style conformity and embrace our individuality via, well with anything we damn well please. With chapters titled ‘What the Hookers are Wearing’ and ‘Dressing Down Is a Crime Against Humanity’ he hilariously inspires us to add to our personal styles without going porno chic or “turning into a hoochie blow-up doll.” As busy, exhausted moms, we tend to forget how much fun and therapeutic fashion expression can be. After reading this fabulously campy book, you will never again stand in front of the mirror wavering if that peacock feathered headband may be a bit much for public viewing. Go for it – you have nothing to lose.

Tonight I am off to a well-deserved evening with the ladies and I am in the mood for a romp. A romper, that is, but maybe a romp too, if my husband is lucky and the kids haven’t destroyed the house by the time I get home and the laundry is done, and the coffee is set and the bottles are prepared… Oh never mind, I’m already too tired.
