Wordpress Ate My Blog + Some Foodie Etiquette

August 26th, 2009

Whew! Ok all my little happy snackers. Let me explain my awful blogging etiquette. I finally decided to take the leap and upgrade my wonderful Wordpress blogging platform. What I did not count on however, was that it would be an excruciatingly painful process, resulting in the complete annihilation of my blog – AH!

Thankfully, like the smart little blogger I am, I backed up most of my files (back up your files!!!), and I was able to restore HBS to almost good as new condition. So I apologize for the bizarre design changes some of you may have recently seen and the lack of posts, but HBS is now back to full blogging capacity, and it’s back to blogging about scrumdidliumptious foodie treats!

Today’s blog snack of choice swerves more towards foodie etiquette than foodie consumption. I stumbled upon a question the other day that piqued my interest and wanted to hear your folks’ take on the matter. As an aspiring hostess (yes, I did say aspiring, as I do not yet have the means to hostess to my full potential), when a guest brings over a bottle of wine, should it be opened immediately? What if there are already a few bottles open on the table, still open the guest’s bottle to be polite? Or is it assumed that this bottle is a gift to the hostess, and need not be opened?

What’s your take snackers?

Happy Snacking,

Looking for the perfect wine for your meal?

March 24th, 2009

Ever cooked up THE most delicious and romantic meal EVER, but have absolutely no idea what kind of wine would complement it? Or maybe you’re having a cozy pizza night and are really craving some vino – but do you drink a red? Or a white?

Wine Glasses

Well have no fear folks, HelloVino is here!

HelloVino will help you find the perfect wine for that perfect meal, whether it’s pizza, mac & cheese, or that ridiculously extravagant meal you just prepared. Just head to the website, and go through the steps. You can choose your wine based on the meal your having, the occasion your attending (What’s the best wine for a date? Or a holiday party?), or maybe just get a wine recommendation based on the kind of wine your craving.

My favorite part: HelloVino is mobile! So if your spur of the moment trip to the grocery store has got you in a wine-aisle funk, just text ‘HELLOVINO’ to 368266, or use your smartphone to go to their website (which is also mobile friendly – LOVE IT!) and they can help you out of the store and back to your place.

Have any fabulous pairings you’ve concocted on your own?

Happy Snacking,
