• Hitting the Bottle: How to Make Cheap Champagne Taste Good

  It happens every year. You head to the wine store to buy some bubbly for your honey, and find your self standing in front of the Champagne/sparkling wine with a look of sheer terror on your face. Is the $100 bottle really 10 times better than the $10 bottle? Will my husband/wife/mistress know the difference? How drunk can you even get on one bottle of bubbly? The answer is not really, probably, and pretty drunk. But don't buy that pricey bottle just yet… Read More...

• Political Nanny's Playground: Candidate Love

  They say politics make strange bedfellows. But what about politicians? With few exceptions, the slate of 2008 presidential candidates -- both already out and those still in -- hooked up with some beauties. Political Nanny's opened the pages of her election scrapbook again today, this time for a peek at candidates in love.

• Valentine's Gifts for Kids: Do You or Don't You?

  I ran across this list of kid-gift ideas for Valentine's Day just now and it occurred to me that maybe there's some controversy in giving gifts to kids on this holiday commemorating hearts and love and stuff. Is there? Me, I'm taking the slacker-mom route this year and giving boxes of candy hearts and, if they're lucky, a pack of Little Debbie's Valentine Snack Cakes (special request), but I've had my over-acheiving sugar-cookie/homemade-Valentine years as well.  But what do most people do? Is there a deep and profound sense of sharing [even more] love with a precious child in some small way, or have the toy and greeting card marketers taken over here? Read More...
