Dr. Ben Carson, U.S. Conservative’s Presidential Choice?
    Dr. Ben Carson, neurosurgeon at famed John Hopkins University maybe a future name to recon with. Unfamiliar with the name? His name has come up for being a high contender on the 2016 upcoming Conservative Tea Party Presidential ballot. A strong speaker with his moral judgement stating ” homosexuality.
    On the Fox TV Network’s, Sean Hannity Show he compared “homosexuality with pedophilia and bestiality.” So what is new in the ol’ GOP Party these days? Super conservative PAC’s have a campaign coffer of over $3 million start for him to run for president in 2016.
     He also recently said, “it seems God is calling me to run.”  And at the recent CPAC meeting in March stated,  “Gays…don’t get extra rights.”
    Maybe a conservative contender or maybe not? Just wanting to keep you informed……

Dilemma ???

Posted on by
    What to do when your best friend Jayme Kosar is having a Birthday. We know she loves seafood and she is the owner of the famed Ybor City Wine Bar. What do you do? The seafood part was easy… do a fantastic old fashion Louisiana seafood boil. Not leaving out the crawfishBut the wine part was the harder issue. Then a light bulb went off!!! Trader Joe’s has just opened in South Tampa. They are famous for a line of great inexpensive ($2.97 per bottle) wines. So we purchased 9 different ones and had a Trade Joe Wine Tasting Flight!
     The Sommelier of the evening was Drew Drotleff. He took us thru whites to reds describing and critique along the way. The wines were actually good! Then we took it one step farther and all the appetizers came from Trader Joe’s and used Trader Joe’s reusable bags for place mat’s. At the end of the night everybody took home a goodie bag in the place mats.  Happy Birthday Lady Jayme!!!  Treat yourself to a must visit at the new Tampa’s Trade Joe’s Grocery store today.
