Wine Reviews: Geyser Peak Sauvignon Blanc 2010
I’ve pretty much switched over to white wines for the season at this point. The Geyser Peak 2010 (Sonoma) Sauvignon Blanc was $9.99. It’s worth noting that they have been making wine since 1880 according to their website. In California, that’s equal to 1,000 years. Day 1 Geyser gave us a great first impression. It […]
MoonPies: Why aren’t you eating one now?
Unless you’re a terrible person a Moonpie is one of the best foods ever created. An old friend posted on Facebook about the 18th Annual RC Cola and Moon Pie festival in Bell Buckle, Tennessee. Bell Buckle’s population is only 500 but it swells into the thousands for this event. There are vendors, a 10 […]
Double Yolk Eggs: Work of the Devil or Great Value?
I got my first “double yolk” today. It came from the usual half dozen eggs from Wood Homestead Farms at the local Greenmarket at Grand Army Plaza. Nothing stuck out about the individual egg except the shell was slightly larger than the others. It was a little worrisome I’ll admit. Was there something wrong with […]

Fish Eye Merlot 2004 Review
The Fish Eye 2004 Merlot is quickly becoming a house wine. It’s a very flavorful, medium bodied wine. Tannins are noticeable and provide a slight chewiness but nothing like you might find in a garnacha. There is a nice balance of sweet to tart. Notes of cherry come through as well. This was a very […]
7th Avenue Street Festival: the Aftermath
We stepped out on Sunday with the intention of a pleasant walk outside. We happily stumbled on the 7th Avenue Street festival while in route to Prospect Park. There are three things I love about street festivals: live music along the way, sangria sold by vendors and the random things stands have for sale. For […]
Sweet Treasures Bakery in South Park Slope
Sweet Treasures Bakery is a welcome addition to South Park Slope. They’re located on 5th avenue between 16th and Prospect Avenue. I was sad when the predecessor, 3 Star closed . The cynic in me was expecting some high end crappy eatery. I was elated to see another, equally unpretentious bakery in its place. These […]
Papio Cabernet Sauvignon Calfornia 2008
Day 1 We were in the mood to try a new wine in our price range. Papio was nestled between a couple of old favorites (Rex Goliath and Flip Flop) in the local wine shop so that seemed like a good sign. Interestingly my girlfriend and I had two different impressions at first. I found […]

RoodonFood Presents an Interview with the Jims (Punk Rock + Food)
RoodonFood writes frequently about fast food, snacks and drinks. Turns out there is a band very fond of making jingles about fast food, snacks and drinks. Not to mention punk rock. They’re called the Jims and I first discovered their tribute jingles when writing about Pepperidge Farm Goldfish. Check out their youtube channel. They have […]
