Good afternoon!
Well, I tried to get up early - I even sat up and listened to NPR this morning from 7:30-8:00-ish, but I didn't end up getting out of bed until around 11:15-ish, so... Ah, well... I guess I needed the rest after my weekend in Memphis... In any case, I'll hit the grocery store this afternoon and begin stocking up on "approved" foods... of course, as I mentioned yesterday, I still have a stockpile of "unapproved" foods in my cupboards, but I plan to bake them off and then send them off over the next couple of days.
DR SWW - Cool and dark are the key words when it comes to champagne storage. Also, a "vibration free" zone is essential - nothing on top of a fridge, next to a washing machine, etc. Wine Spectator's web-site should have some good info. And you could also just call a local wine merchant for advice. Additionally, some places will store champagne for you in their "lockers" for you - even if you didn't buy the champagne from them. -On a personal note, I'm particularly fond of the various "tiers" of Veuve Cliquot champagnes - even their "cheap" line is quite good... and their Rose Champagne is perfect for Valentine's Day, or any other celebration - or non-celebration.
As for animated films -
Classic Disney -
Cinderella - not sure right now it's if pre- or post- 1960, but that's my favorite for sentimental reasons.
I need to think about the other categories.
