Short Update

Yeah I know its been forever. I've been lazy busy.

Heres a few quick-hitter updates.

State Fair: Chocolate covered bacon isn't really that good, although I am convinced it could be if the bacon were saltier and crispier. Gnawing through that chewy bacon fat didn't sit right with me. On the other hand, the sliced leg of lamb sandwich at the Wisconsin products building was one of the best things I have ever tasted. I even went back and had it again.

My new favorite wine: Tres Picos Garnacha 2007. Spanish wine is the new black as far as I'm concerned. It is delicious and goes with everything. The granache I mentioned above is rated 91 points (I think by Robert Parker) and goes for about $15. You won't find it at the grocery store but any decent wine shop should have it.

Oysters: My new great love. A squeeze of lemon and a couple drops of tobasco is all you need. Totally delicious. And don't just slug them down. Chew them. They taste good I swear.
