I enjoy reading on our screened in porch. It is nice in the fresh air and a little breeze blowing.

I love Jonhanassburg Reisling. Fabulous.
Funny thing is I grew up in Napa, California.....and I know NOTHING about wine. Well, other than it comes in two colors (with variations) and sits in a barrel for a long time.
My favorite wine EVER was a white chardonnay from Flora Springs in the Napa Valley. It was sweet and fruity and very light. I don't like my wine heavy.
I love all the Spanish wines referenced here. I realize that I've been very isolated in my wine choices.
This thread is GREAT.
jenmck, Flora Springs makes nice wines. I am an acquaintance of one of the owners of the winery, Mike Komes. He and I worked together for a large engineering/construction company (you probably know of the company since you are close to San Francisco). Mike was a VP of the company. I once bought a Datsun 260Z from him, many years ago.

I read the unabridged version this year and strongly recommend it. Glad to see that so many of you are enjoying the book. I really enjoy reading your spoilers and comparing them to my thoughts on those items.

I enjoyed Lisey's Strory but it was far from my favorite King book. I would read it again though as I really enjoy almost all his writing.

These are a few photos of my Aunt's yard and flowers in York Harbor, Maine. I took the pictures while we were on vacation in Maine a couple weeks ago.

Today I am going to have red beans and rice with hot sausage for lunch. It is a leftover from last nights dinner. I will also have 1 or 2 Habanero peppers fresh from my garden to eat with it.

Hi Muggle Not. Great to see you again.
I would be stuck. Everything sounds delicious, but I don't know what some of the things are, like 'Fontina'? I guess the cheeses are special to US too.
I think I would choose :-
The Frenchman Bay Crab cakes
The Lobster Soup,
Mixed Organic Field Greens,
And the Maine Haddock.
No Blueberry Pie, (though I love it) as I wouldn't have room!
Pp
Hi Purple Poppy. The Haddock is very good as it is caught local. I sometimes have a haddock sandwich for lunch while on vacation. I know this nice quaint little restaurant where the haddock sandwiches are excellent.
are you doing OK.

That is going to be a fantastic painting Muggle!
Your cousin is very talented.
Thanks, she is getting very close to finishing the painting. She has enjoyed doing it and her friends tell her she should not "part" with the painting as it is very good. Recently, she told me that after she finishes it will still take the painting from 6 to 12 months to completely dry.
-
My cousin paints, both water color and oil as a hobby. She is doing an oil painting for me from a photo that I selected of Bar Harbor, one of my favorite vacation places. She has been sending me progress photos of the painting for the last 3 or 4 months, or more. If there is any interest I will post a couple progress photos of the painting from time to time. This is the photo that she is using as a guide for the painting.
Photos deleted.................no more progress photos, no interest.

Can I have lemon sorbet as dessert?
Only if you promise to "try" the wild blueberry cheesecake.
-
You are me!!!!
hehe, good choice. The food I mean.
-
BTW, it will be over 1000 miles for us to drive up to Bar Harbor and, of course, another 1000 miles back, but the food is worth the trip.
What I will select:
1st night
Appetizer - Gulf shrimp and Lobster Cocktail
Soup - New England Clam Chowder
Entree - Maine Lobster Meat sauteed in butter
Dessert - Blueberry Cheesecake made with "wild' Maine blueberries
2nd night
Appetizer - Gulf shrimp and Lobster Cocktail
Soup - Lobster Bisque soup
Entree - Lobster Pie
Dessert - Blueberry Cheesecake made with "wild' Maine blueberries
I will have wine with one dinner and a bottle of Blueberry Beer with the other dinner.
-
That is a wonderful looking menu!
But, but, but....you didn't select your complete dinner choice.
-
We will be on vacation in Bar Harbor, Maine for a week. We get a complete dinner 2 different nights that is included in our package rate at the hotel. Included is appetizer, soup or salad,.entree, and dessert. Dessert is not shown on the on-line menu but we always get the blueberry cheesecake that is made with "wild" blueberries grown in Maine.
Select your complete dinner.

I'm on page 331 and really enjoying it although i'm a little bit confused:
I have got used to this disease killing nearly everyone and not expecting it to be a "supernatural" story but now there is this strange man called Randall Flagg who it would seem is not human. Am I correct in thinking this?
Other than that a fantastic read!
Sorry, but I will not tell. You gotta read the book.
-
I'm reading this now Muggle! I think it will take a while!! I hope I enjoy it as much as you did!
How are you progressing with The Stand.

Hi there,
I'm Nicola, am from the North-East of England and have just joined. I was a bit fed up of everyone I know thinking my 'book talk' is dull as dishwater, so I joined up here.
I'm damned shy, but it looks quite friendly here so I can't wait to start posting. Best wishes to everyone, hope to chat to you soon x
Who are some of your favorite authors and what are some of your favorite books.
Welcome aboard.

Great garden Judy and very nice photos. It is really fun to see things grow.

I am going to vacation up in maine sometime in September. Hope that I have time to visit the locales of many of his books. Th last time I was in Maine I got an eerie feeling when driving in areas where his books took place.
-
I know. But I had already started SR, when I checked the thread, and saw the order. Bit too late!
But you can still go back and read the others in order ....after.... finishing Something Rotten.B)

I don't usually go crazy for Chardonnay, but I bought a bottle of Trivento Chardonnay, and I was pleasantly surprised.
Of course you would like it, cause you know that I can't find it here. B)
The Polka Dot Reisling was not one of our favorites and we will not buy any more of it.
Tomorrow we may go to the Shelton Vineyard and buy a case of their Reisling. It is very good.

We will also visit http://www.visitmayberry.com/ as we did not go today.

We are harvesting spinach, spring onions, and radishes from the garden. Spinach salads are really good. The tomato plants are doing nicely and all have little tomatoes on them. The cucumber vines are about a size where they will start climbing the trellis that I put in. Zucchini and squash are also starting to vine out. Pepper plants are starting to put on blossoms. Nice time of the year.
