Another common "Corked" misinterpretation is when, during the wine making process air is able to bypass the cork and disrupt the wine. This will typically give the wine a very obvious vinegar flavour. This only happens with real cork wines, not screwcaps or rubber caps and is often visible in the cork itself because the wine will bleed through to the top (easier to see in red wines than whites). I recently opened a bottle of wine of this nature and you could see where the air had come in through a red line in the cork from one end to the other. I was going to return it, but my brother, who was staying with us at the time, found nothing wrong with it and drank the whole bottle! I can't imagine it tasting very good, but it didn't make him sick.

Ha! I had the same idea, reminded me of "put a bird on it", still very pretty, but this style is so overdone on the westcoast

Canadian Money Cakes are the best!! We were less sanitary thought I guess, the money was cleaned, but then it was just shoved into the cake as is and icing went on top to cover the holes. I don't remember there being a fortune attached, but every kid is exciting to find money in their food!

I feel like you can't trust tourist books because they're all advertising anyways and you could spend hours on yelp trying to find the perfect places to go.

Was this a theme party for seven people? I'd call that more of a gathering, but impressed, they must really like those seven people.

I did this for a tea party- bought a whole bunch of mismatching english tea sets. Everyone got to take their pretty tea cup and random saucer home at the end of the night- some people even made a game of trying to match up some of the sets. it was good fun!
