Chocolate-Covered Salted Strawberries

We all know that chocolate + strawberries = good, but the salt (I used a mild, coarse pink salt called Murray River) takes them up to the eye-rollingly, growlingly, must-eat-them-all-in-one-go level of deliciousness.

I Sort Of Feel Like My Lunch Deserves A Prize

Grilled cheese, by the way, is a relatively new thing for me. In fact, as recently as two years ago I'd never even had a full one all to myself - just a bite here and there of other people's. I know, you don't believe me...but it's true.

R. Muller Riesling / The Bunny Wine

Remember when I wrote about my slightly pornographic associations with boxed wine awhile back? Well, shortly after that post went up, I got an email from a gentleman offering to send me a couple of boxed wines to try to change my mind about them. Since I'm not in a wine-tasting state at the moment, yesterday's catch-up with Kim was a perfect opportunity to break out the R. Muller Riesling (a.k.a. "The Bunny Wine").

Kim's verdict: not as sweet as you'd expect and not particularly complex, but good for everyday. (And I love the box - it fits perfectly in the refrigerator with the little spigot-thing hanging off the edge for easy pouring.)
