Vynecrest Nutcracker

Vynecrest Nutcracker • this painting is sold

One of my favorite 'booths' at Christkindlmarkt is the Vynecrest Winery. John, Jan and Sam are the owners and you couldn't meet a greater group of friends. The Cabernet Franc 2007 is absolutely INCREDIBLE this year !!! And, I can't wait to cook some chicken breast with the herb rub that I bought tonight pared with this special bottle of wine -- Gretel will be so impressed.

If you're in the Lehigh Valley area, you gotta try this wonderful wine. It's exceptional!

Two Tomatoes II

Two Tomatoes

After the end of summer, I always take great pleasure in returning to the kitchen to prepare hearty and comforting meals. A favorite of mine, and one that I would create for my Mother and Father in the last couple years, is beef stew. I've photographed it simmering on my stove and added it to my blog last year.

Not only is it coveted as a delicious meal that gets better and better with each warming of the 'leftovers', but also because the rich aroma fills my home and transcends my thoughts to the safe and simple times of years gone by ...

Tinkertoys

Tinkertoys • this painting is sold

The Tinkertoy Construction Set was created in 1914—one year after the A. C. Gilbert Company's Erector Set—by Charles H. Pajeau and Robert Pettit in Evanston, Illinois. Pajeau, a stonemason, designed the toy after seeing children play with pencils and empty spools of thread. He and Pettit set out to market a toy that would allow and inspire children to use their imaginations. The cornerstone of the set is a wooden spool roughly two inches (5 cm) in diameter with holes drilled every 45 degrees around the perimeter and one through the center. Unlike the center, the perimeter holes do not go all the way through. With the differing-length sticks, the set was intended to be based on the Pythagorean progressive right triangle.

The sets were introduced to the public through displays in and around Chicago which included model Ferris wheels. Tinkertoys have been used to create surprisingly complex machines, including Danny Hillis's tic-tac-toe-playing computer (now in the collection of the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California) and a robot at Cornell University in 1998. Hasbro owns the Tinkertoy brand and currently produces both Tinkertoy Plastic and Tinkertoy Classic (wood) sets and parts.

Yuengling Lager

Yuengling Lager • this painting is sold

Yuengling Traditional Lager is an iconic American lager famous for its rich amber color and medium-bodied flavor. Brewed with roasted caramel malt for a subtle sweetness and a combination of cluster and cascade hops, this true original promises a well balanced taste with very distinct character. Its exceptional flavor and smooth finish is prevalently enjoyed by consumers with even the most discerning tastes.

Yuengling Traditional Lager is an American favorite -- it's so widely known and unique in its class, in some areas you can ask for it simply by the name 'Lager'.
