Former Vice-President Al Gore is about to testify before Congress to advocate for green/renewable energy programs. He recorded this video:
A lot of people are coming to my house for the Super Bowl. I don’t really know which teams are playing, I just cook. And you know, try to strike a balance between really yummy heart attack food and really yummy, but let’s face it, less exciting healthy alternatives.

I’m stocking up on beer today, and my new favorite, inexpensive wine — Ten Mile, The Broken Road, a California concoction of wonder.
A hedonistic blend of Petite Syrah, Zinfandel, Barbera, Malbec and Carignane. This wine has a nice earthy nose of leather, black cherry, and blackberry aromas, with light notes of vanilla and oak. On the palate it is rich and full-bodied with complex, dark fruit flavors. Really delicious. $13.99
Really really delicious. Save room for the wine.
