I don't know why but I've decided to make a list of all my favorite baby names. Maybe it's because I've hated that my name is so common, but at least the spelling is different.

Girls:
Aurora
Olivia
Lorelai (rotten gilmore girls almost ruined it for me)
Payton
Jet
Patricia (after my mother)
Ophelia
Aurelia
Lucinda
Aiofe (pronounced Eva, Gaelic)

Boys:
Elliot
Anderson
Peter (after my dad)
Luca
Penn
James (not Jim or Jimmy, but James)
Milo
Xavier
Baskin (as in Leonard, not Robins)

Because I'm a nerd I'm drawn to Italian and Gaelic names (my heritage) and french names for some random reason.

Holy bad blogger/photographer, Batman!

This was the last image I've developed since July. Unacceptable.

Menage a Trois

For the past five months or so this has been my standby choice in wine. Menage a Trois is what the name literally translates, a "household of three", what were you thinking? Double entendre aside, this light and flavorful red is a blend of Zinfandel, Merlot, and Cabernet. Zinfandel being the dominate flavor. I've had a variety of foods with this beaut and have yet to find something it doesn't go well with. It's incredibly smooth. Friends that are not so into wine or prefer whites even enjoy it. Made in 2007 (great year) and released in 2008 it's one of the best reds I've had for $15. Its regularly priced at $12.99 but often on sale for $10.99, I've even seen it available online for $7.99 Thank you, California.
