Here we are, another Hurricane Day in Halifax. Some people have their storm chips, I have my own version of a storm survival kit. We had a power surge earlier, just as I was making coffee. Eek! Thankfully it came back on a few seconds later.
The winds have started and my boss, who lives in West Bedford, has already lost his power. There are currently 118,000 homes in Nova Scotia without power, with the strongest winds yet to come.
Ok, let’s get back to that storm survival kit. What’s your favorite storm wine?
In my quest to find a replacement for Canyon Road, I really like the Vivo Robusto Red on the left. At $12.75 a bottle, there’s always one in my wine rack. This past week I found its sister wine on sale, like $3 off. Normally $17.50, this wine is on now for $14.50 so run out and buy a few, because it’s really good.
I have stocked up on this Cabernet, it’s a beautiful fruit forward wine with soft tannins. It was smooth and so easy to drink. LOL Like many wines.
Before I go, I have to tell you about my favorite aioli.
That’s a chicken kebob under that sauce. Carmelized red onion, chicken, red and orange peppers. Grilled. The aioli contains
- Miracle Whip – you can use mayonnaise, I like the tanginess of Miracle Whip
- Sweet Thai Chili Sauce
- Hoisin Sauce
- Fresh cilantro
- Lime juice
- Garlic powder
Whisk that in a bowl, and I use that stuff on everything. It is so tasty.
I know its not a wine meme, but I saw this on Facebook this past week and laughed so hard, I wanted to share the laugh.
Stay safe friends, till next week, Cheers
