rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kimmiko - Snapfish seemed to be a great way to print digital photos for a good quality and reasonable cost. However, I quickly became disenchanted. My first order was delivered promptly, but I found a few photos were stuck together and totally unusable. I...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kimmiko - In the past, my wine tastes have been faithfully devoted to the lush and full flavored red wines, especially the merlots. However, with summer comes a thirst for a cool and refreshing white wine. Chardonnays are my summer wine of choice, and I tend to...

Dandelion Wine Anyone?

Mon, 29 May 2000 12:39:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kimmiko - I know some people actually eat these proliferous greens, even make wine out of them. I'd be willing to ingest them if someone were to offer me a plate or glass. But when I see them growing on my tiny lawn, my teeny bit of green heaven here in the...

Not for Men Only

Sun, 23 Apr 2000 19:20:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kimmiko - The mere mention of the word whiskey conjures up a rough and tumble mass of images. No western movie was ever made without at least one saddle sore cowboy at the saloon demanding "whiskey!"

The image of whiskey is manly, a bit...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kimmiko - The blues can be an insidious malady, no matter how old, young, rich, poor, good looking or just plain homely. The blues will get everyone eventually. I was struggling with this gloomy partner for a while. Something in me started craving latin music,...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kimmiko - For those of you unfamiliar with the Spanish language, my title means tequila is very delicious. I admit that there is a double meaning with the "s" in parentheses, as I also am implying that the food served at Tequilas restaurant here in...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kimmiko - My mom has one of those great old chrome pop-up toasters from the 1950's, and it works like a charm. I'd love to put my name on it when it comes time to divvy the goods, but fortunately, my mother is as spunky as any 20 year old and I won't see that day...

Jalisco...The Home of Tequila..

Mon, 7 Feb 2000 22:59:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kimmiko - My appreciation for tequila didn't come from a margarita or a quick shot preceded or followed by a lick of salt and bite of lime. I have always enjoyed, to some degree, that pungent and sometimes invigorating liquor. It was in Tequila, Jalisco,...
