Weenie Roast Wines

Weenie Roast Wines

What are the best wines for a weenie roast? Does the acidity in a Sauvignon Blanc complement or fight with the acidity of ketchup? And if you’re drinking Riesling, should you serve sweet or dill pickle relish? Seriously—will anyone at a weenie roast really notice if a Malbec is too ponderous for a hot dog? Probably not. Still, doesn’t finding a yummy match sound like a good excuse for a party? You supply the hot dogs, buns, condiments, and a bottle of wine or two, then ask each friend to bring a side dish along with a bottle of wine he/she thinks will be a good match.

Brothers

Brothers

Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, were excessively mischievous. They were always getting into trouble and their parents knew all about it. If any mischief occurred in their town, the two boys were probably involved. The boys’ mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually. So the mother sent the 8 year old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon. The preacher, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, “Do you know where God is, son?” The boy’s mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open. So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone, “Where is God?” Again, the boy made no attempt to answer....

Multitasking Mania: Getting a Grip With Only Two Hands

You sit down to make a note about a project. The phone rings. While you’re talking, someone pops in with a question as the computer dings the arrival of an important email and you remember that you forgot to make dinner plans. Whether it’s at work, at home, or while out running errands, sometimes it seems like an extra set of hands would come in, well, handy. Multitasking is a part of modern life and a lot of it seems to happen while people are on the phone. In an independent survey of 500 women, commissioned by Motorola, 80 percent of women say they are engaged in another task while talking on cell phones.

Should children witness child birth?

Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to the call. The house was very dark so the paramedic asked Kathleen, a 3-yr old girl to hold a flashlight high over her mommy so he could see while he helped deliver the baby. Very diligently, Kathleen did as she was asked. Heidi pushed and pushed and after a little while, Connor was born. The paramedic lifted him by his little feet and spanked him on his bottom.. Connor began to cry. The paramedic then thanked Kathleen for her help and asked the wide-eyed 3-yr old what she thought about what she had just witnessed. Kathleen quickly responded, ‘He shouldn’t have crawled in there in the first place, smack his butt again!’ LOVE THOSE 3-YEAR OLDS!
