Five predictions for the new year
I was just thinking about Yellow + Blue = Green, the malbec made from organic grapes and eco-packaged in a box like juice, when John Lindner sent me this Shallow Thought Wednesday. It's not exactly a high-end wine, but someone estimated it would sell for about $20 if it came in a glass bottle. Anyway, here's our guest poster. EL
My predictions for the new year:
* jl will eat duck fat fries in '09.
* Economic downturn will cause sharp increase in packaging and sales of high-end wine in boxes.
* John McIntyre will star in at least two "You Don't Say" cooking videos.
* In a stunning "Why Didn't I Think of That" move, Pizza Hut and Budweiser will team up with Netflix and take over the world.
* D@L will win two prestigious blog awards; ensuing loss of anonymity and increased ad revenue frees EL to pen memoirs, blog in her jammies every day.

"EL to pen memoirs, blog in her jammies every day."
You mean she doesn't already?

Yes, I envision EL sweeping her bathrobe around herself with a flourish as she sits down at the computer. "Oh, swish!"

Would somebody please take our friend jl out for an order of duck fat fries?
And I think jl is on to something...we should do a top-ten list of things we want Prof. McIntyre to cook in a video.

Back in 2000, I had an idea when I lived in Hawaii, to deliver both pizza and movies (dvd's were just coming out) The only problem is that people can download practically anything off of comcast.
Hawaii-Pie-O

My wife is still irked at me for returning from a liqour store with a carton of that wine. She loves malbec but was not impressed. I tried it, and it really didn't taste good. I wonder how much of it was the fact that we knew it came out of a Capri Sun box?

Suggestions for Prof. McIntyre cooking videos:
1. Any recipe that includes bowtie pasta
2. How to prepare, serve, and eat raw oysters
3. Rum balls
4. Quail flambeed with cognac
5. Formal burger grilling in tails (top hat optional, but strongly encouraged)

If you must be in tails with a top hat, you should pull a rabbit out of the hat, dress it, and prepare Hassenpfeffer. That's a video I'd love to see.
