Mashed Potatoes and Merlot: June 2010
http://mashedpotatoesandmerlot.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Mashed Potatoes and Merlot. A Food and Wine Blog. I think I love Arizona after all. May and June included several trips to Arizona to see the hubs. July will include 3 more trips there. And I'm pretty excited. Besides the slow drivers (yes, Arizonans do drive just as slow when in their home state as they do when on the California freeways! Overly short shorts, making me fat. Oh, and this weird belly-dancer store at the mall Glenn's store is in. I like what Arizona is all about. Wednesday, June 30, 2010.

Mashed Potatoes and Merlot: May 2010
http://mashedpotatoesandmerlot.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Mashed Potatoes and Merlot. A Food and Wine Blog. I have friend at work. Her name is Erin. She's a fairly new friend but we've hit it off pretty well. Our boss calls us the dynamic duo, which I pretended to think was lame but actually think is pretty cool. Erin took this picture. It's awful. But she took it, and posts are always more fun with pictures, so I'm posting it. Maybe We live in a selfish society. I can blame society for my issues like all of Reality TV does, right? Or Noodles and Company. Anywa...

Mashed Potatoes and Merlot: April 2010
http://mashedpotatoesandmerlot.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Mashed Potatoes and Merlot. A Food and Wine Blog. 5 Half Marathons in 1 Year! I have been trying to get into the Nike Women's Marathon. For the last 4 years. A weekend in San Francisco. A chocolate mile. Pedicure and manicure stations. Firefighters in tuxedos handing you a Tiffany necklace as you cross the finish line. Could running long distance get any sweeter? THIS IS MY YEAR! Race is actually going to happen for me before 2010 is over. Did I mention I was excited? Friday, April 23, 2010. In honor of ...

Mashed Potatoes and Merlot: Arizona Makes You Fat
http://mashedpotatoesandmerlot.blogspot.com/2010/05/arizona-makes-you-fat.html
Mashed Potatoes and Merlot. A Food and Wine Blog. Arizona Makes You Fat. Arizona's been getting a lot of flack lately, and I'm jumping right on that bandwagon and telling them they are the reason for my jiggly middle. Consider this my very own public service announcement and warning against Arizona. I'm a fairly health conscious California girl. I eat vegetables. I run. I partake in the group torture called CrossFit. Then my husband up and moved to Arizona. I order a beer? Saturday: I put on my running c...

Mashed Potatoes and Merlot: October 2009
http://mashedpotatoesandmerlot.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Mashed Potatoes and Merlot. A Food and Wine Blog. My best friend Julie told me about Groupon, before it was available in San Diego. She found all sorts of fun places to go to in Boston and explained how these "group coupons" work. Groupon is fairly new to San Diego, but so far I have purchased a handful of lovely options for 50% off or more! 2 Bangs and fall pins. Although bangs tend to make me look like a 5 year old, I don't really mind. Ever since Stuff White People Like. Friday, October 30, 2009.

Makes the world's most fabulous cappuccino, but have I told you about their granola? I am not sure what all they put in here, but I know it includes cranberries, oats, almonds, and a handful of corn pops - what a treat! Get it in the fruit and yogurt parfait, and there's a little protein to start your morning off on the right foot. Tuesday, July 20, 2010. I have had no interest in bei...
