Here are a few of my favorite summer foods and how to prepare them:

Funky Llama Pinot Grigio- Wine Review

Sampling the Wine on a Moonlit Night

Stopping at the local Wine's & Spirit's store the other day had me finding a new brand of wine to try.

Review of KFC's Double Down Sandwich

Does the Product Live Up to the Slogan, "Taste the Unhungry Side of KFC"?

Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) came out with a new sandwich that really isn't a sandwich on April 12, 2010. The KFC Double Down caused waves in the media. People started ranting over how unhealthy the sandwich was, how it was potentially lethal, and TreeHugger.com listed an article calling the sandwich the "a beast of a food product." I saw the commercial for the KFC Double Down the day before it was released and my first thought on the product was, "What did stoner's invent this sandwich?" and then I thought, maybe it was just a gimmick and the sandwich wasn't real. They couldn't possibly have figured out a way to make a sandwich with no bun! Well, they have and I tried it.
