mmm Moscato

-
Mr. G and I aren't big wine drinkers. But when a restaurant offers you a half glass for 50¢ to raise money for charity, you don't say no. We were pleasantly surprised when we tried it - light, sweet, and delicious! So we found this bottle at a local store, not the same brand but the same type: Moscato. Here's hoping it's good!
linking up with wordless Wednesday (although I haven't had a truly wordless post in quite some time ;) )

    I'm a big fan of Moscato, but I've never seen a red Moscato. Hmmm... perhaps I'll have to look. CatMan and I have a thing for Sutter Home Sweet White... which is dirt cheap and scoffable by wine drinker standards. But hey, we like it!

      Oops, sorry to mislead you . . this Moscato is white! And I have no problems with cheap wine - I'll look for the Sutter Home next time we go!

      How bizarre... maybe the blue bottle made it look red to me.

      We can blame it on the couch's shadow along the bottom of the bottle ;)

    I generally don't enjoy drinking white wine, but I do love sweet wine, so Moscato is perfectly delightful for me!

Tiny Houses

Ladies' Home Journal recently featured an article on Tiny Homes , about 3 different families living in small spaces. The average American home is 2,400 square feet (223 square meters) as of 2010 ( source ), while the homes featured in this article were 128 sq ft (12 sq m), 960 sq ft (89 sq m), and 336 sq ft (31 sq m). average size of an American home through the years The families ranged in size from a married couple to a married couple with 2 kids, and for the most part, they were happy with their decision to downsize and live in smaller digs. While I think the two super small homes are a little extreme, a family of four living in a 960 square foot home sounds doable. The most important thing is that the house be well designed for that scenario.  Mr. G and I lived in a house that was just under 1100 square feet and had ample space. Every room had a good size closet, the kitchen cabinets went right up to the ceiling, and there was no wasted space in the floor plan . . b...

2015 Goals Update

Time for a goals update! Financial   •  Save $300 per pay  - Yes! Easiest goal ever because this was automatically deducted from my paychecks! Personal   •  Attend more than 67 yoga classes  - Nope! I stopped attending yoga classes in June because I was modifying so many of the poses to accommodate my growing belly that it seemed silly to pay to take a class that I wasn't fully participating in. I couldn't find any local prenatal classes so I switched to DVDs from the library until the very end when just cooking dinner felt like a work out. How do pregnant women who already have children do it?? •  Read 52 books  - Yep, a total of 70 . It was a banner year for reading actually, considering almost all those books were read before September. Now baby girl and I listen to audiobooks (electronically downloaded from the library to my cell phone) during some daytime nursing sessions when I want to read something. Plus I read a kids book to...

Vegetarian Version of Olive Garden's Chicken Gnocchi Soup

I love Olive Garden's Chicken Gnocchi Soup.  Love, love love!  In the past, I would gladly eat two bowls of it, about 5 breadsticks, and take my whole meal home!  But I've had to skip it since becoming vegetarian and that sucks.  So I found a copycat recipe online , and tweaked it to make it vegetarian.  (I am so grateful for copycat sites!) Surprisingly enough (not), the original recipe calls for chicken ... I added boiled potatoes to take their place.  You could probably cook the potatoes right in the soup - just make sure to add them early enough that they finish cooking before everything else goes soft.  That might be too much potato in one soup for some people (is that even possible?).  :)  You could bump up the amounts of the gnocchi or other veggies in the recipe, or add corn, bell peppers, or soy "chicken" if the extra potatoes don't float your boat. Any other ideas for taking the place of the chicken? Start by chopp...
