Don't you find that the 'challenges' are getting more challenging?<BR/><BR/>good woman - apparently its a very glossy bunny!<BR/><BR/>SAHD - the pinotage stayed by my side for the entire evening, until the bottle was empty. I rather generously let H have one glass, but I guzzled the rest of it myself. You really must try it - it's quite something.<BR/><BR/>heidi - yes, instead of the anxiety and confusion as you peer into the veggie box, can you imagine the unadulterated joy at looking at a wine box instead!<BR/><BR/>M&M - I think the concept of 'organic prices' means that they grow, naturally.<BR/><BR/>elsie - no, not irritating at all - I imagine you grow stuff that you know and like to eat. That's the difference!<BR/><BR/>Peter - you are right. That pinotage didn't stand a chance once the cap came off! Thanks for recommending it - I'm really looking forward to trying the other wines you suggested.<BR/><BR/>lucy - yikes! beetroot! I like swede, but there is only so much of it you can eat in one lifetime!<BR/><BR/>akelamalu - artichoke wine - what an interesting idea, and probably the best thing to do with such a fussy vegetable!<BR/><BR/>Pig - doesn't everyone microwave their veggies? <BR/>Yes, SAHD and Peter do seem to have hit it off. Although they will keep comparing the size of their goblets - such a boy thing.<BR/><BR/>dj kirkby - oh no! But look on the bright side - you could always try to make artichoke wine!<BR/><BR/>mopsa - well done for trying to cheer dj up (I think she is now crying into her vegetable soup)Drunk Mummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16213660260846567668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4121356179610263775.post-2443521411687949092007-06-22T15:25:00.000+01:002007-06-22T15:25:00.000+01:00I'm obviously against the grain...grow most of my ...I'm obviously against the grain...grow most of my own veg but in the first year here there were other things to do than plant a veg patch.
