Re: Random Thoughts

My friend kept telling me "Cupcake" wine was good. Never heard of it.

"Cupcake Vineyards wines are luscious, creamy, silky, zesty, intense, elegant, decadent, complex…"

sounds interesting enough, but I didn't buy any.

I've just gotten on to a Cupcake streak with their whites (Sauvignon Blanc specifically) of late. Fantastic wines.

Have you tried the wine "menage trios?" thats like our go to lately... not expensive, real good wine.

so I am getting these crazy pop -up adds when I login to MS and go to the forum section. anyone else having this issue? I have a macbook pro and have never had pop ups. Its only when I'm on MS.

Menage Trois are great, one of my fav inexpensive go to wines, including Red Diamond (Merlot, Washington State) and a few others.

BTW What of those pop-ups, I haven't seen one, can you send me a screenshot?

Re: Way, way too much information

"if it seems to good to be true..."

these "protein bar" companies feed off naive people looking for a quick fix. "2 carbs?" ummm no. Stick to whole foods, make breakfast the night before. Do whatever it takes, but don't rely on protein bars. They are all crap, unless they are made of whole ingredients, period.

of course, that's just like my opinion. If the bars work for Feather and taste great, and he has 6-pack abs, and feels great, then keep eating them!

No offence dude but you seem to be reacting from a point of scepticism to protein bars in general without reading the ingredient breakdown I posted. No smoke and mirrors there, it states the amount of carbs.

I'm as allergic to the snake oils out there as anybody, the health food and supplement industry is full of hype and nonsense, so I know where you're coming from.

But for some easy homemade stuff that doesn't require baking, etc, look into raw foods protein snacks, my friend has been making these. You just mix the ingredients together and put them in the fridge.

Re: Way, way too much information

The popups are gone Kamal. It was some bug my computer picked up while in DC.

@Feather - the quest bars may be legit. but whole foods > chemicals that act like sugar etc will always be better for your body. But, if you can't get your protein that way, then these Quest bars seem to be a great alternative, along with Victory bars.

Personally, these bars make me crave real sugar later in the day/night... such as ice cream, etc.

Thanks Kamal for letting me know your opinion of Cupcake wines. My friend enjoys their white wines too. I've never really enjoyed white wines; preferring pink or red. But, I will give both of these labels a try based on your and FL's opinions. I actually rarely drink wine/alcohol, but there are occasions when it's really nice to have some, like when people are over for a visit. This really beats trial & error way of picking out some.

Re: Way, way too much information

I went through a scotch streak in the middle but came to realize it's not really my thing. Unless it's an extremely HOT day, it's cool white wines or reds on colder days. Else it's just chilled beers.

Re: Way, way too much information

I'm not too macho to admit to enjoying a nice white wine spritzer during the summer months. Just add ice and ginger ale or tonic water

Re: Way, way too much information

white wine spritzer sounds refreshing!!

Re: Cupcakes and white wine spritzer

Oh boy, someone is a great title maker. I like them all so far.

Maybe you should write a book? If I'm supposed to take this personally as an "event" like Illuminate said and be embarrassed, you'll have to be more aggressive, because I'm not that kind of person.

okay? okay... night night cupcake

Re: Random Thoughts

Don't want to bump this thread up, honestly, but I want to report back that I've gotten some Quest bars and they are definitely not junk and you can tell right away by the taste and texture, no sugar. They will require getting used to for that reason & I can't imagine eating one everyday, wow, they are potent... but, my husband loves the cookies & creme one (yuck to me) while I found the white chocolate & raspberry tolerable for a quick snack in a pinch. And I like that they make you want to drink lots of water afterwards. I know tastes vary, but what's your favorite flavor -- there are so many? Thanks!! They are just what I was looking for.
