Prosecco, my drink of choice

I often talk about drinking Prosecco...maybe a little too often. I am sure I have been talked about for drinking it while I am studying, or doing my homework, or even just pouring a glass for the heck of it, but what the hell, it tastes really good, it truly is delicious, and tastes even better in a proper flute! Just like opening a bottle of wine, I will open a bottle of Prosecco or sparkling brut, the drier the better, I hate that sweet shit. I once tried a bottle of Dom Perignon , I was the only one that liked it...I think I drank the bottle to myself?? Maybe that is what started my obsession with this fantastic beverage!? 

The thing is, I don't spend a lot of money on a bottle...I have shared with you some of my selections, a few favourites. Three out of the four, I know are under $20, the Cremant I got as a gift, for my 30th Birthday, it was divine, but am unsure of the price point. 

Villa Teresa Organic Prosecco $16.97 BC Liquor Stores

(also comes in a rose, that is delicious as well, best part is the closure, it stays fresh and bubbly for quite some time so you don't have to worry about drinking it all in one go!)

Anna Spinato Organic Prosecco $14.99 BC Liquor Stores

Veuve Du Vernay Rose Sparking Brut $15.99 BC Liquor Stores

(Also comes in white)

Keep an eye out for this one, its delicious, I don't remember this one lasting too long!

My sister adorned the bottle with a label for my 30th Birthday!

This is my little something that takes the edge off, puts a smile on my face, makes me feel like a lady. Something I enjoy, and try to always have around the house. There will definitely be stock for the holidays!!

Enjoy!

Holy beans!!

My last post was September 18th...holy beans!! I am sitting here alone, for the first time in 6 days, without my kids pulling on my legs, calling my name, endlessly...whining, asking for a snack, clicking them into their carseats numerous times in a day (after asking them to sit down for 10 minutes because they think our mini van is the greatest thing on earth), running here, running there, birthday parties, presents, groceries, homework, cooking, cleaning, bathing, brushing, crying (me, and the kids), swearing (me), baking, painting, crafting.......and somewhere, we slept, thank the lord! I am glad my husband had a nice time away for a family members stag, but you can't help but grit the bitterness between your teeth (the ones I am not sure I have even brushed since he left Thursday morning..).

How am I using my time alone, the hour I have before I go to work...I am drinking my coffee..slowly, slower than usual...and thats slow, as well as writing my weeks menu, something again, that has been swept to the way side, shuffled under, life.

This week, we start with Tuesday...

Tuesday- Mini ravioli in chicken broth with carrots and potatoes

Wednesday- Sesame Ginger Chicken with Jasmine Rice and Bok Choy

Thursday- Chicken Fajitas with Taco Chips and Guacamole

Friday- BLT's with Tomato Soup

Saturday- Fish Tacos with Spanish Rice and Coleslaw

Sunday- Pappardelle Noodles with Italian Sausage and Garden Salad

I mentioned our "mini van", yes, we got a Dodge Caravan........I felt hot as shit parking that thing in Yaletown all dudded up for a girls night out...HA! My oh my how things have changed, I used to stroll those streets, young and thin, latte in hand, with a reasonable balance in my bank account....don't get me wrong, I love to drive it, its a nice ride, but its a whole different dimension of life. I must mention too, that I cut off my long golden locks...what the F was I thinking.....funny how, for me anyway, shorter hair makes me feel less attractive...one of those stupid messed up things...and how as soon as you cut it off, everyone around you seems to have long, flowing, beautiful hair, and you feel like the old mother..(like I said before, these are my feelings only, strictly about myself!) I have inquired about extensions...again, never say never...are the fake boobs and tummy tuck up next? Do not make impulse decisions...except when you are craving a nice bag of Ruffles Sour Creme and Onion chips....(oooo, I should add those to the grocery list!) Yes, I am beautiful just the way I am..say all the quotes that I pin on Pinterest..but seriously, I have had a shit hair week/month...it grows back, fast, right?
