Wingin' it

Delivering the verdict
Shavaughn Moss:
As promised folks, I made it a point to return to the newly opened Wine Lounge Tasting Room & Retail with one thing in mind — to try their Napa Style thin crust, hand-tossed pizza which I couldn't get on a previous visit, because they'd run out of figs. My verdict — it was good and I'd eat it again — but if you absolutely force me to make a choice, the Yukon Gold Pizza with potatoes, mushrooms and white truffle crème pizza has my name all over it.
Make your life a toast for others
By Pansy Hamilton Brown:
"You would be surprised how much baggage people carry around with them. Especially the kind you cannot see. Half the time it's filled with the past. Looking inside can be the most frightening and important thing a person ever does. — Martha Williamson.
The power of TV
By D. Paul Reilly:
The actual environment in which we are all brought up in has a tremendous bearing on how we ultimately think and act....this is an undisputable FACT! Now today, at the beginning of the 21st century, television has become a big part of that environment, and therefore influences people, and in particular the young whose fertile minds are being molded by what they experience, what they see and hear....this also is a FACT!
Indulge your senses

Potato and mushroom pizza — something to make you go hmmm!
By Shavaughn Moss:
Ever wondered what a potato and mushroom pizza would taste like? Well — I never even thought about the combination before three weeks ago, but after my first bite of a pizza with just those toppings the only thing I could think about was the big "O" word.

Do what you love to do
By D. Paul Reilly:
Let me commence by asking you a pretty straightforward question. Now, here's the question. Do you like, really love what you do for a living, or are you just doing what you do in order to get a paycheck at the end of the week, or month, as the case may be? Now, that's an extremely important question for you to ponder here today, and then answer with complete candor. I'll bet my bottom dollar, as the saying goes, that a whole lot of people will answer by saying something like this. Do I like my job? Hell No, I'm only here because of the money I get at the end of the week, which assists me in paying my bills.
Tea anyone?
BY Roscoe Dames:
This week brought back some memories of my early days in Salisbury, England during my conversation with Stephen Twining, a tenth generation Twining of the Twinings of London tea dynasty. We talked about this wonderful 300-plus years of history beginning in 1706 with Mr. Thomas Twining. As a matter of fact, many persons would be shocked to know that the first known tea room at 216 Strand, London opened back in 1706 is still operating today. In addition, the logo, created in 1787, is one of the world's oldest in continuous use.
The California wine adventure

There's a new rib joint in town and this place is smokin'
By Shavaughn Moss:
There's a new joint in town and they're smokin' up the place with the most delicious hickory-smoked BBQ ribs that I've had in long time. I'll put my head on the "chopping block" and say it — they are probably some of the best ribs I've had in recent memory — except out of my own kitchen of course that I've had from anywhere on the island.

Nurturing your teenage children
By Pansy Hamilton Brown:
At every step, the child should be allowed to meet the real experiences of life. Love them with all your heart. Love them enough to discipline them, as you keep your wits intact.
The power of suggestion
BY D. Paul Reilly:
The human mind is like a sponge which literally soaks up all that it hears and senses. Now the real trouble arises, when it is literally bombarded from outside with an endless stream of negative, destructive ideas and concepts. Yes indeed, as the title of this article puts it 'The power of suggestion' has a mighty influence upon exactly how we think, that is of course, if we haven't yet learned the most important art of 'Thought Monitoring'.
Dining etiquette — is this a foreign language?
By Roscoe Dames:
Everyone should have an etiquette book with everything related to manners in their home. I still have my Emily Post Etiquette hard copy right on my coffee table. This book has traveled with me from high school, to college, to my first home. The great thing about manners, is it never goes out of style, even though some of the customs are updated over the years.
A sip of pleasure

Did I get a champagne 'buzz'?
Shavaughn Moss ~ Lifestyles Editor ~ shavaughn@nasguard.com:
I've had my first sip of sparkling wine and dare I admit that it was a most delicious couple of sips. I'll own up to it — yes it was! It was actually a California sparkling wine called Schramsberg Mirabelle Brut Rose.
What will be the legend of your dash?
By Pansy Hamilton Brown:
True happiness in life comes from forgetting ourselves, and becoming wholly and totally engrossed in service to others.
Insight, understanding & wisdom
By D. PAUL REILLY
In my morning meditation, I usually go through a long list of Affirmations, and towards the end of my meditation I always say the following "God's 'Insight, Understanding and Wisdom' is flowing through me now. I use God's Insight, Understanding and Wisdom' gratefully and graciously in everything I write, say and do to assist me and others in our quest to live the good life".
High Flying Cuisine
If you are a frequent traveler, you cannot help but notice the culinary changes at some of the major airports around the world. Gone are the days of mere sandwich kiosks, coffee stands, grab and go fruits. Now are the days of steakhouses, seafood restaurants, wine and sushi bars, craft beer breweries and gourmet grilled burgers.
Around the United States some of the major airports that I have visited feature some really delicious cuisine. Now-a-days with all of the security requirements needing you to be at the airport at least three hours before your flight it is great to know that you can spend some of your time enjoying a delicious gourmet meal. |
