Huevos rancheros, sunny-side up, with Chimayo red chile at Ranchos de Chimayo. I went more "traditional" with the drink: frozen margarita!

As an update to my dilemma.....

I purchased 3 six gallon containers of juice from Luva Bella winery last Saturday. When I get the containers home and opened them, I found that my Pinot Noir contained only about 4 1/2 to 5 gallons of juice. Acting upon the recommendations of posting Winemakingtalk board members, I contact the winery this morning to explain my predicament.

I spoke with Ruth, who has the patience of Job. She told me to bring up a jug and they would stand behind thier product and make me good for the missing juice. Now that's customer service!

Looks like another jaunt to Ohio this weekend for lunch and to get my missing juice (and maybe another bucket or two). This time Mrs. Hoka will be along for the ride (mainly because she gets a free lunch out of the deal).

Wow, what a great marketing ploy. Talk about building in repeat business. And using sweet little Ruth to execute the plan.

I didn't think you'd have a problem with them. They've always been good to deal with. It sucks that you have to drive all that way, but at least the Mrs. gets to go this time and you might get a couple more buckets ot of the deal. Win-win!!

Luva Bella are very customer friendly, kinda figured you would get something out of it. Sorry we won't be home this weekend or we would be joining you for lunch. Let us know what other buckets you get. By the way what all did you get the other day?

Smokin' Nikki!!! Keep up the good work.

ROF!!! Thanks!!! <blushing>

TYSVM!!! It's been a hard road!


Yall are to sweet to me! It's been a tough road. I kinda feel tho, the weight loss is the only thing in my life I have control over right now. I'm becoming kinda OCD on it, but as long as I keep healthy as I loose I am gonna say its ok LOL!

Nikki, a two years ago I lost 28 pounds, I know how hard that is and you deserve the praise. Unfortunately for me, I fell on the last step in our basement, slammed my right knee on the basement floor, my doctor told me I bruised the bone and it would be a good 9 months before it was better. He was right, I have not been able to do any exercise until this past February. I gained back 8 pounds, not much but I'm not happy.

Your weight lost is a huge accomplishment and you deserve to be praised. That is not an easy road.

Until you want to change the acronym to CDO because that would be in alphabetical order, you're fine.

Not knowing your history or anything I will say this. When you start posting pictures it's a sign YOU'RE starting to feel good about yourself AND the results you're seeing. That, my friend is the best part!!! Keep believing, it's paying off big time.

 

[jeepingchick]

Julie, You know what, you did not GAIN 8 pounds back...you kept 20 pounds OFF!! That 8 pounds will be a piece of cake compared to the 20 of before You got this!! I can recommend a shake program that works. I do not exercise much due to work/school/kid/house/softball for kid.... just no time, but its still coming off thanks to drasticly changing my eating habits and actually eating like a normal human being and not like the glutton I was last year.

Shoebidoo, yes your right. I feel really good. I still know I have a long way to go, but am so happy with where I am! The Half way point feels this good, I can not wait to feel the GOAL!

Julie, for my first time there, I picked up a Cab Sauv, Pinot Noir and a Chardonnay. I could be talked into a Cab Franc or a Viognier....

Congrats Nikki, My wife went on a program last year. Hers was lost due to diet control and excercise. She still wants to lose another 5-10 but as with her, you should be proud of the gains (or losses in this case) you have made.

Just bottled my RJS, Orchard Breezin', Blackberry Merlot. I got 28, 750ml's and 7 splits.

I made one of my favorite meals from my childhood; mustard greens, cannelloni beans and sausage, lots of red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Yum! I plan to have it tonight with Flem's Carmenere, some good Italian cheese and my Bride's great bread. Double yum!
