Try Something New Side: Quinoa Salad With Mangos & Walnuts
Quinoa is a super trendy grain right now, especially amongst the health conscious crew - you know which crew I'm talking about those hip natural foods folks who shop at farmer's markets and are buddies with the fish guy at Whole Foods.

Champagne Flute Fountain: Love It Or Hate It?
There is something about the word combination champagne fountain that makes me incredibly excited. Endless flowing champagne is a fantasy I've entertained ever since I learned my mom had one at her wedding. However the champagne flute fountain isn't exactly what I had in mind. I love this idea though: you'll never confuse your glass with someone else's glass and these can double as a pretty cool decoration when filled with something creative like colored rhinestones or m&ms. What I hate about them is the gigantic price tag that registers over a $1000! In an ideal world I could afford them, but until then I'll add these flutes to my champagne fountain fantasies. What do you guys think of them? Champagne flute fountain: Love it or hate it?
