	The Ten Spot - Mad Housewife Merlot and Ruby Truffles by Beth Anne Leach A couple of weeks ago, I posted a Ten Spot about the Mad Housewife Cabernet Sauvignon. It was a decent little wine. I will admit, it didn’t excite me, but for under $6 a bottle, it didn’t need to, I was just happy to have a decent bottle to drink that night.Wasn’t I surprised when a member of the Mad Housewife staff commented on my…	1 vote 282 views
	The Deluge by Beth Anne Leach The DelugeHave you ever seen that movie, “Hard Rain”? I distinctly remember thinking that it sounded like a ridiculous title for a movie. I mean, what’s next? Fall of Snow? Dense Humidity? The Fog? Oh...wait....All of which is beside the point.I know this is going to come as an enormous shock to you (yes, that's sarcasm), but I found…	1 vote 326 views
	In My Picnic Basket - Tomato Jam for I Heart Cooking Clubs by Beth Anne Leach In My Picnic Basket - Tomato Jam for I Heart Cooking ClubsWhen I think of picnics, obviously I think of the basket with the checkerboard blanket and the deli sandwiches and fruit.

	Dining with Dad (I Heart Cooking Clubs) by Beth Anne Leach Dining with Dad (I Heart Cooking Clubs)Months ago, I planned a special post in honor of my Dad for Father’s Day. It involved a little retrospective about my dad when he was younger, and some special sandwiches he used to eat. But that post ended up being a horrifying culinary experience that I simply could not associate with the…	1 vote 406 views
	A Man Sized Meal by Beth Anne Leach A Man Sized MealOne thing I do look forward to about summer, is being able to try out new recipes, and have some experimental fun in the kitchen (get your mind outta the gutter!). The reason for this is that the hubs is generally laid off during the summer months, which means I don’t have to consistently have a meal on the table every…	1 vote 445 views
	Margaritaville – Tequila Lime Bars by Beth Anne Leach If you’ve been around this blog for very long, you have probably noticed that my office is very food-centric. We will use any reasonable excuse (and some that are just completely unreasonable) to bring food in to work. The ironic part is that it used to be much, much worse.

But right now, I have an odd combination of ingredients on hand that beg to be utilized.The first…	1 vote 520 views

I totally flaked on it last week because I am so crazy busy getting ready for…	1 vote 328 views
