Remember wine coolers?

A few are ok. I'd rather have good wine, a nice mixed drink or cider

I’d rather have beer...as if nobody here knew that...!!!!!

I have been watching with interest. Reminds me of the movie “Trading Places”. Pretty similar. If you haven’t seen it watch it. It is really a great movie with Eddie Murphy.

One of my all-time fave silly flicks...!!!!!!!
I also love how in “Coming to America” the Duke brothers have a cameo...
Don’t know if you’ve seen it, but, at one point in the movie Eddie Murphy’s character runs across two homeless guys laid out at night and gives them an envelope with thousands of dollars in it. He puts it in the one guys lap, and when he looks up it’s Mortimer, who subsequently wakes up Randolph and Randolph, upon seein’ all the money, then declares “Mortimer, we’re back...!!!”

Might need sugar

The beignets we ate at Cafe du Monde in New Orleans were awesome. They were covered with a mountain full of sugar.

MMMM....Olive Garden. Do you have a standard order there? What do you get? I always get the thing with 3 different things....it might be called Tour of Italy, but that might also be what the sampler is called at Bisetti's, my favorite Italian restaurant in Fort Collins, Colorado. It's a similar thing, so I don't remember which one has the "tour of italy".

Olive Garden has the “Tour of Italy”, as I’ve had it there before.
We have an authentic Italian mom and pop/family-owned place down the road, in our neighborhood, less than 5mins. away called Reale’s. It gets praise all over town from food critics and customers, alike. It’s run by an Italian family that moved here from New York about 40 years ago, with family recipes that are over 100 years old. I happen to like Olive Garden well enough, but, Reale’s is decidedly better...!!!!!

That includes the competition fees and the passed. Still ridiculously high.

Ridiculous indeed. But, it’s not just a regular trip, it has an important event tied to it, so I’m sure they know the vast majority of folks will find the money to attend somehow.

Hate to say it but without powdered sugar they are just chunks of fried dough. That said, I have plenty of powdered sugar here if you want to send them my way.
