 we never got into it enough to incorporate wrestling.Traditional Rosé is made by making wine with red grapes but separating the skins immediately. You use a process called straight to press. Red wine grapes have a red skin but a clear interior therefore, whenever you press the grapes (separate the skins from the juice) the red skin will touch the clear juice for a short period of time therefore giving it a light pink colour. Red wine gets its dark red colour but fermenting the juice on the skins for typically up to seven days. The skins break down over this period therefore giving wine that dark red colour.
To the trivia question, I wouldn’t be surprised though that if there were Rosé wines out there that are a mix of red and white wine. Actually, I can almost guarantee it. Whether they can be called Rosé is up to debate though. Also, there are thousands of different grape varieties that come in all shape, colours and sizes. There are grapes out there that have a light pink hue on the skin which could be fermented like a normal red wine and come out with a pink colour. D) is more of a joke answer but, someone has definitely added rose petals to wine before, it seems like everyone else has!
Correct Answer to the Trivia is A.How was your Thanksgiving? Mine was quite enjoyable. I turned off my computer to take the time to hang out with my family. I ate lots of turkey and still have some leftovers in the fridge. We went to the Christmas tree farm to get our tree. We found one we liked and actually chopped it down. A first for us, since we usually buy one already cut. We decorated, made cookies, went to the movies, and just hung out. I enjoyed every minute. While relaxing I thought of some great ideas for girlfriend gifts this year.
With Thanksgiving over, I am now in full-swing holiday mode.
I know it is a tradition for many to go out shopping on Black Friday to start the season of giving. I never embraced this since I worked in retail where it was mandatory for all employees to work on Black Friday and be at the store at 4 AM. It kind of ruins your holiday. I do enjoy Christmas shopping though and buying gifts for my family and friends on any other day except Black Friday.
A few years ago I hosted a short and sweet get together that I called the “After Shopping Hot Chocolate party”. I invited a few friends over after a day of shopping. It was the perfect busy holiday season get-together since everyone is short on time at this time of year. A one hour get-together late in the afternoon for some hot cocoa gave us a chance to catch up and be merry without a big time commitment.
This year I held it for my sisters and daughters.
To start the giving season off right, I had notepads from TinyPrints personalized to give as a gift to each of them. It wasn’t until I started setting up small TV style tray tables in my family room that I realized the personalized note pads make perfect place cards, too!
To make the notepads festive for the occasion, I tied a red ribbon bow around each one and placed it on a dessert size plate. I made place mats from gift wrap called Festively Striped and placed them on the tray tables so we could sit and gaze at the tree, listen to Christmas music, and enjoy each others’ company.
No time to host a little get together for your girlfriends?
