The
last time I stopped at the resale store on Twin City Highway, I saw several
decorated trees for sale. The Astros tree was the first to go, I heard. This is
a great option for those who lost décor in the flood. Mae Terro was decorating
anything holding still. She was sticking stalks of greenery and poinsettias
into a metal spring bedframe. It became a festive rectangle of holiday spirit.
A toast
T Southeast Texans are so ready for
2018. When the Champaign flows with loved ones this season, consider a sample
of what I tried from Taittinger. Brut La Française, is dubbed “perfect for stocking
stuffers” by promoters and I was pleasantly surprised by bubbles that you could
hear all the way from palate. This is the flavor and sensation for those who
aren’t sure if they care for the sparkle. Perhaps they’ve kept trying. They may
have been waiting for this one, which I paired with fish for a celebratory
Advent meal. I believe it was the most bubbly bubbly I’ve ever experienced. I
certainly pretended I was in France.
If
your budget allows, kick it up with Taittinger’s Comtes Blancs 2006 and 2012
vintage of Brut Millésimé, from “selected Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes
grown in vineyards in several of the finest microclimates of the Champaign
region.” I have not yet tried these, but who knows what luxuries await in 2018.
Ways
we’re phenomenal
Do
you know why your’e closely related to your houseplant? It’s related to
hemoglobin and chlorophyll. Sound like an attractive artists’ rendering? Leave
it to Misha Maynerick Blaise, currently of Austin. She’s made the microbiota
(your gut flora), the mycrobacterium vaccae that makes playing in the dirt
(maybe growing our herbs and vegetables) activate seratonin-releasing neurons,
and the waggle dance of bees into colorful and attractive thought-proviking
art. It’s in a book called “This Phenomenal Life: The Amazing Ways We are
Connected with Our Universe.” Don’t consider it simply a “youth” book. We were
never taught these things. You’ll want to flip through this cook book again and
again and discuss your findings with others. Go be phenomenal.
