And The Winner Is

January 21st, 2010

If you check out the previous post Trims For Three and check the comments you will see a note from Garth congratulating himself for being reader 10,000. We took the picture you see above back in November when we ventured over to Courtenay/Comox on Vancouver Island to visit Garth & Lee. Please don’t get us confused, I’m the handsome one on the left. He’s the much more distinguished looking one on the right.

And what’s the prize for being number 10,000 you ask. How about Dos Gigantica Margaritas at the Mazatlan beach bar of your choice. That would be so much fun! You give Lee a couple of big margaritas and she’ll put on a show you won’t soon forget.

I should mention that the prize includes accomodation, we have a couch, but does not include air fare.

Por favor RSVP amigo y amiga.

More Beer

Honest, I wasn’t going to buy anymore beer, I was just going to clean up what was in the fridge. But how do I turn down the opportunity to try something produced by Fermenters of God-Like Nectars?

I’m not sure it’s God-Like though, or maybe I just didn’t have enough to reach that level. But it is good.

Old Friends Reunited

November 17th, 2009

Mar’s all time affordable favorite nectar of the gods is Black Box and her preference from there would be their Cabernet Sauvignon or the Merlot. She is not alone. When Pat Mckenzie first tried “the Box” she broke in to about 2 sentences of superlatives that sounded completely Madison Avenue..

Sadly though, you can not purchase this beautiful liquid in Canada, only in the US and so we thought, only from Walmart. On this trip we scoured Walmarts from New York to North Dakota all to no avail. There was no Black Box to be had.

Sunday, in Eugene Oregon, we happened into a Fred Meyer to pick up a few groceries.

Can you imagine the ecstacy when I not only found her a large selection of the “Box”, but found it on sale. Last year, we were paying about $22.00 for 3 litres (four bottles) but here, on this joyous day it was a mere $19 and change.

Needless to say we bought a box.
