Vino!

   Tonight I went to the International Wine Fest on Kadena.   It was better then expected. There were several rooms full of food and wine.  It was almost overwhelming.  And the people watching was some of the best I have taken part in.  I was almost like half the people got the wrong invite and theirs said ugly casual instead of Business casual.  I know its mean to say, but you would have had a chuckle too! 
   The amount of wines were more then great.  I was so surprised that they had so many European varieties.  Reds, whites, desserts, and aperitifs.  And I was feeling saucy tonight!  I went with vino rosso as my drink of choice this evening.  And I say vino rosso because Im setting the stage for my point.  I realized something tonight.  Im a snob.  A wine snob.  And no not one of those swirl the glass and wait for the tannins,  find the under notes and tones, and then figure out the wood the cask was made out of and aged in, wine snob.  NO.  That shit only happens in movies and the fucking Catalina Wine Mixer( as they say in Stepbrothers).  I say Im a snob because Im a Italy snob. AND VERY PROUD OF IT!  I only drink Italian wines mostly, when I do drink wine.  With the occasional Spanish, Australian and maybe a South African thrown in.  I mean really, F the french, as my dad would say!  And when I say Italy snob I am very true to my roots. I discovered that I only like southern Italian wine, with a little Sicilian thrown in.  I guess its true what they say. You are what you eat, or in this case DRINK!

My first post!

   I swore I would never have a blog.  The idea always sounded so stupid to me.  Internet ranting, as if your life was that important, and people actually gave a shit about whats going on in your world.  But now I live in Japan, and my family wants to know what Im doing.  So this blog is for my family and friends, and Internet hunters who enjoy random blogs.  If you are looking for someone who will enlighten your little world with wisdom and guidance, keep looking.  I wont be talking about the random things I do and find along the road of life.  No inspirational messages.  And I definitely WILL NOT be talking about what annoys me in this world.  If you truly know me as a person, you know that Im not overly chipper, and I really hate stupid people.  So if I were to talk about what annoys me in this world, I would just end up complaining all day.  I dont have time for that, or the patience to really care to write it all down.
   So this blog will be about what Im passionate about.  Food, traveling, and my small family.  My husband and dog, Lucy, will be making an appearance every so often.  Also some close friends along the way.  Mainly I will be keeping my family posted about what I do best!  Be myself!  I will be taking pictures of the meals I create.  In time I hope to have enough fans to open a restaurant for people who enjoy eclectic foods as much as my husband and I do!  In the beginning we all had an idea.  Hopefully that idea will grow someday!
