Eric Asimov does a monthly column where he suggests a wine style and asks readers to write in their comments.
Your Next Lesson: Chablis
My writeup:
Because this month was a white wine we didn't have the standard
argument over whether the wine was wine-colored enough. The flavor was
agreed to be wine, although we did get pear and mango suggestions, and
someone throwing in grapefruit. Our Stalinistic leader tried to
enforce the no red wine rule for extra bottles being brought in. A
revolution was started anyway with a bottle of red and two bottles of
Ratafia Our host brought 4 bottles, the rest of the crew brought 7
bottles. Our best was 14 bottles the night we did beaujolais. Anything
for an excuse to get together and drink wine.
The food was our standard potluck; appetizers, veggie dishes and pies. The quiche was wonderful.
The outdoor deck was wonderful with fireflies entertaining us at
dusk. A few tried looking for glowworms in the grass but were
unsuccessful due to the inability to get down low enough without
toppling.
One participant tried to impress us with this description of the
first bottle. It was flowery with a triangular aftertaste that lazered
the taste buds with the creaminess of peach melba although it still was
not intellectually satisfying. I came back with, it was band-aid
colored and flavored and not Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle ones.The box
Chablis wine from 2011 was smelled and dumped. Even our
non-discriminating tastes were offended. All in all a very good evening
of wine food and friends.
Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 28,987 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke.DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER, BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.
What this blog is for:
My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.
