I always think of France as having only fancy wine, but you can also buy big plastic jugs of really cheap wine here...<BR/><BR/>Hey Cynthia!!!<BR/><BR/>Mmm, sounds delicions!!!<BR/><BR/>Hey La!!! Thanks!!!<BR/><BR/>Hey Kalvin!!!<BR/><BR/>Sometimes I wonder how much wine experts really can tell about a wine by smell and taste, i.e. without reading the bottle. ;-)<BR/><BR/>I'm kind of tempted to take a wine class for real, but I'd hate for it to ruin my taste in such a way that I start craving wine that costs $100+ per bottle...C.

We would buy the white German wine.

It's still just as messy as regular play doh though. <BR/><BR/>I got it from my mom's enormous child development book from her BYU days. <BR/><BR/>My husband actually knows quite a bit about wine from his days at a liquor store here in Indy. Not necessarily french wine though. <BR/><BR/>I'm about where you are with wine knowledge but I will say - homemade fresh wine is not always a good option. And I would stay away from the Night train (I highly doubt they have Boone's or Night train in France).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19053670.post-1154358431083338262006-07-31T08:07:00.000-07:002006-07-31T08:07:00.000-07:00Hey JLO!!!That's so funny -- it reminds me of Home...Hey JLO!!!<BR/><BR/>That's so funny -- it reminds me of Homer too!!!<BR/><BR/>We haven't completely made the transition from play-doh to real dough for cookies, but we did make Christmas cookies (with the rolling pin, cookie cutters, frosting, sprinkles, the works!) this past December. The boys had a lot of fun, and they'll be even more skilled at it this year!! :DC. L.

I'll have to get back to you on that.<BR/><BR/>That should happen fairly soon since all of our current supply of play-doh is completely mixed together (it's all light purple now), plus it's been left out enough times that it's all dried out. So we need to restock...<BR/><BR/>The play-doh in the picture is imported play-doh. My sister's kids picked out that set with all of the cookie cutters as a present for my kids (which she passed along to me when <A HREF="http://lfab-uvm.blogspot.com/2006/06/this-will-be-fabulous-or-total.html" REL="nofollow">we</A> <A HREF="http://lfab-uvm.blogspot.com/2006/06/back-from-scotland.html" REL="nofollow">were</A> <A HREF="http://lfab-uvm.blogspot.com/2006/06/men-in-kilts.html" REL="nofollow">in</A> <A HREF="http://lfab-uvm.blogspot.com/2006/06/second-stupidest-thing-i-did-in.html" REL="nofollow">Scotland</A> for my brother's wedding).C.
