    My my new favorite is called Big Six.. it's made in bourbon barrels. There is a red blend, cab, and Zinfandel. The red blend is my fave. My mouth is watering just typing about it. 
    Oh my that sounds wonderful! I am going to have to write that down for after!
  • @npkat That wine sounds interesting! I love bourbon barrel aged beers. Does the bourbon barrel flavor really come through in the wine?

    My UO is that I don't really like maternity pictures. Let me be clear, I've seen a lot of really pretty ones, and maybe, just maybe I'll change my opinion when I'm super pregnant and want to remember that time through photos, but I doubt it. I guess I'm much more interested in seeing pictures of the baby than having the maternity shoot plastered on my fb feed.
    +1 to this. Also just because they are maternity photos doesn't automatically make them tasteful. I've seem more tasteful ones than not tasteful ones, don't get me wrong, but if you're gonna have 50 stark naked maternity photos hanging up in your kitchen and then invite a bunch of people you don't know super well over for a dinner party, please give us some kind of warning signal. 
  • @brettanomyces yes it does. Even my husband loves it. I get super jealous watching him drinkbit without me now :neutral:
  • My UO: I think it's really AWish when people post things on FB directed towards their SO or children. Sappy anniversary posts, happy birthday wishes for a child who can't even read (let alone use social media)- all of if makes me roll my eyes and question why people feel the need to be so public with the closest people in their lives.
    I agree. Those usually make me throw up in my mouth a little.
  • P.s. There is no right kind of cilantro. Period.

    I've had the Big 6 cab. And you can totally taste the bourbon influence. They're really good for something a bit different; go great with steak!
  • Aw man I totally miss wine and craft beer, not to get drunk but I live in a region of Canada where there are hundreds of wineries and I miss it. And new breweries opening near my house, that I wish I could try. 
  • @heatherdubrow, we seriously need to hang. 
  • I'm on the fence about cilantro. I don't love the smell of it on its own, but I like it in certain dishes. Only in moderation, though. It's pretty easy to overdo it.
  • So when MH and I got married we decided to make a bunch of freezer meals because he worked crazy hours. One of the dishes recommended to me was cilantro and lime chicken. I couldn't eat it. It didn't taste like lime or chicken at all. And now cilantro is dead to me. Forever. 
  • @KLmyz what part of Canada? I'm in B.C. And went to 3 breweries this weekend and ordered for my sister then had water  :( I miss wine a lot...as others have said, not to get drunk, I hate that feeling and am too old to recover from that...more to just feel relaxed on a weekend...I actually was holding a bottle of wine from the liquor store while I paid for my pregnancy test back in July...I told the clerk 'first I'll take this test before I drink this' ... he just looked confused  :#
  • @bb3vj3n me either. I didn't enjoy it until the second trimester when I was pregnant with my daughter either. It's hard to get excited when you feel like garbage all the time.

    I like a good glass of wine or beer, but my tolerance levels are reaaallly low these days (which is a good thing) and I just don't have the desire to drink much/often. In my younger days, I loved whiskey, but can't do it at all anymore. I tried to have just a small amount once since my daughter was born and I'll never do it again. I thought I was dying the next day. Not worth it.

  • @mountain_girl I live in the okanagan so wine is everywhere !!!  Do you live in Vancouver area?? They have so so many good breweries 

    @bb3vj3n that's how I describe it to my H never ending hang over. So one day after Bachlor party he was hung over.  And there wasn't much sympathy from me lol

    I don't like frilly baby dresses/clothes with flowery, lacy crap all over it. I don't even like pink that much. I'm going to be SOL if I have a girl (which I have a feeling it is! )
    Ooh man you would hate how I dress my girls!

    I also don't like all the frilly, pink stuff. And I have a girl. Lol
  • Chipotle is extremely overrated. Qdoba is so much better.
  • Never had or heard of Qdoba.  :/ Bummer! @HappyMonkey817 This reminds me of my conversation with dh earlier. I really wanted homemade tacos, but the smell kills me and it lingers for days. He sweetly offered to make them outside on the grill, but I passed. Maybe another day when I'm not as difficult.

    Moes is better yet. No free chips at Chipotle?? Not cool. 

    I miss wine. I like to think it misses me too.
    Moe's is better than Chipotle, but not as good as Qdoba. I got a bowl/"salad" (yes, okay, there was some lettuce in there. Lol) at Moe's. The filling was tasty, but the bowl thingy tasted odd and sort of like Chinese food, so that was not impressive. Moe's does have an excellent selection of salsa, though, so I'll give them that. They also offer tofu, which is a plus for me. If Qdoba had tofu, I'd be in heaven.
  • I really couldn't tell you if I prefer moes or qdoba, it depends on the day! I haven't been to chipotle in so long since moving to a town with all three. I haven't been to our pancheros either, and I hear that's similar.

    Panchero's is awful. Don't bother. Improperly cooked tortillas (somehow raw and burned at the same time?) and flavorless everything else.
  • I hate all herbs. I like the smell of them, but the taste is too much. ESPECIALLY when I'm pregnant. Nope.

    It should be a crime to ruin food like that!

  • I also don't like wine, but I love everything else, especially IPAs, whiskey, and gin. 

    I guess my UO here is that I enjoy being drunk from time to time.  Not blackout (haven't done that since college), and I do everything in my power to avoid the hangover (lots of water during, and enough drunk food before bed), but I really enjoy the "Take my keys - I'm going to walk home!" party time, and I really miss it while pregnant. 

    Last night I had a dream I was at a local brewery.  I totally forgot that drinking dreams were a thing, but they definitely were last pregnancy, and now they're back. 

    Also, my hierarchy of fast food Mexican goes: Moe's, Panchero's, Chipotle, Qdoba.
