IN Magazine

I picked up IN Magazine last night thinking I would just thumb thru it and see who or what was in it.  After all it was about Food and Wine-my two favorite subjects.
Well I saw that my blog was mentioned on page 8(I think) and then I saw my Favorite Chef, Carlos Villapudua from Villa Montez was featured in an article on local chefs and then I noticed that we have an East Texas Wine Trail and the next thing you know I had read the entire magazine in one setting.
That is unusual for me, I normally just hit the highlights and see who was snapped and where.
I love the fact there was a great cross section of old and new chef's who cooked for many different reasons and many different recipes.  It was great to get a little background on them.
And Who Knew We Had Our Very Own Wine Trail Right Here In East Texas?  I certainly had not realized how many wineries had popped up in our area.
If you have not yet seen this publication-find one today.  Great articles, Great recipes, Great flow to reading it cover to cover.

Birthday Wishes 2010

I wish for ALL to find their Inner Peace for if we do then we will find World Peace.
I wish for you to do something for yourself for my birthday.
I wish that if you want to give me something and you have earmarked your funds for life, then give of your time.  Volunteer or spend a moment making someone smile, then share with me that experience.
I wish that if you want to give me something tangible, give me the gift of travel, monetary donations accepted, lol. (gas cards, airline credits, etc...)
I wish for a Purple Sock Monkey (Target) to ride along with me in the Vertible.
I wish that you get to spend at least one day of my Birthday month with me in person or vicariously.
I wish all the September Birthdays the Best Birthday YET!  With even Better ones to come.

I love my Birthday month!  And I love all of You!
