LUSH PUPPY : MOSCATO DRINK LOVERS

 "It’s a celebration Clap, clap, bravo Lobster and shrimp and a glass of Moscato" Sooo the rapper/actor/singer Drake mentions this wine & now its everyone's favorite wine??Hmmm Lol  WELL that seems to be most peoples reaction when you mention Moscato WHO CARES...it tastes pretty good and for a really big bottle its only $10. Many joke and call it the Kool-aid of wine hahaha.  I love to drink but I'm no wine expert I cant break down white vs red which one goes well with pasta whats cheap whats expensive??? Umm just pour something in my glass and we good. LOL  Anyways I'm a new fan of this wine and at this very moment I'm sipping on my 3rd glass and enjoying it with some pepperjack cheese& fruit. LOVES IT! Barefoot is one of the most popular Moscato brands and it describes this as

"Full of the flavors of juicy peach and ripe apricots, this wine has citrusy hints of lemon and orange that wraps things up with a bright, crisp finish. An easy-sipping wine that works well when paired with mild cheeses, fresh fruit or spicy Asian dishes. It’s also terrific with desserts." 

Some of you know I'm an experimentalist in the kitchen and I do plan on creating some dishes thats paired with this sweet wine. OMG I wont even tell you I saw one for Moscato Cupcakes!! In the mean time I found heres a some recipes you can try. ENJOY!

KELIS THEN AND NOW

My senior year of high school I use to play Kelis Kalediscope CD everymorning before school, had her songs on my voicemail intro even had my bff try to do my hair curly like hers only to have a guy i liked say it looked like oodles and noodles #fail. Anyways her style has changed a bit over the years and im not really feeling her new look but im still a fan. Her 5th album is due out in spring called Fleshtones. Im thinking she will remake her song "I HATE U SO MUCH RIGHT NOW" and dedicate it to her soon to be ex husband Nas ( insert sad face )

Grammys in case you missed it....

 The Grammys were soo boring last night I bet the weather channel would have been more entertaining.
It was all about Beyonce Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga. I wasnt impressed with any of the dresses ...ok I did like Keri Hilsons dress. As for the performances Gaga with Elton John was the best and then I cant even rate Drake with Weezy and Em because they damn near censored the whole song.  I wish Kanye was there to show his ass.
Of course the shocker of the night was when Beyonce thanked her husband for the first time in public...he looked mad surprise like you love me for real?  Hope she ovulating  Anyways enjoy the pics and vids
