Don't get me wrong. I love it when I can manage to find the extra cash to go out, indulge in a special meal at a nice restaurant, or spring for a night on the town. However, I honestly value special evenings in just as much. Sometimes more, if anything.<BR/><BR/>You're right in that it doesn't take much to make an evening at home special. A tasty home-cooked comfort meal, a nice glass of complementary wine, and your choice of either candles or a blazing fire can make an evening incredible enjoyable. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad to hear you're a fellow mac and cheese lover. That recipe sounds delectable, and so does that Syrah. Last night was a chicken and bleu cheese pizza with champagne night -- a combination I discovered purely by chance but have come to love. The two actually go very well together, and bubbly is always an interesting way to dress up something like a pizza.<BR/><BR/>I get to know a lot of new wines through various <A HREF="http://www.wineclubguide.com" REL="nofollow">wine clubs</A> I discover through my site <A HREF="http://www.wineclubguide.com" REL="nofollow">wineclubguide.com</A>. I'm always looking for new ways to enjoy them, and somehow pairing them with comfort food has helped make many a bleak winter evening a little more special.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-14171997270914279262009-01-08T17:41:00.000-08:002009-01-08T17:41:00.000-08:00Glad to hear you like the mac-n-cheese.

She's the one who discovered this sinful dish.<BR/><BR/>Cheers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029488568891369801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-47564934884922968402009-01-08T16:53:00.000-08:002009-01-08T16:53:00.000-08:00I like it!

Our family has a tradition of take out for Friday nights, almost always with wine, but now I'm going to add the candles, put more thought into the bottle, and let the kids be excused early so my husband and I could enjoy it. Thanks for the idea!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
