Deals Deals Deals!! And a darn good Sangria Recipe!

Here's some good deals to help you kick off summer!


Groupon has a great deal on the Melting Pot that covers a bunch of cities in NE Ohio.  The deal is a 3-course meal that feeds two people for only $40!  It also offers the same deal that feeds four people for only $80.  The link can be found at http://www.groupon.com/deals/the-melting-pot-lyndhurst?p=1&utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&sid=2ec45086-0430-4242-821d-8a4f1afb42cb&division=cleveland&user=57faf1a0dfe3762b120b36abcb4c9c67d72dcd2f428aa57a471e9323bbb75a79&date=20130608&s=body&c=deal_button&d=deal-page&utm_campaign=the-melting-pot-lyndhurst


Where to store a kayak?  I always thought "up", but how to hoist it to the ceiling by yourself?  Here's your solution!

So I finally broke down and joined Pinterest...more so for recipes than anything else.   I am heading out to a kick-off summer party this weekend and really need help making a Pisco-style Sangria. I saw Bobby Flay make one once using Blueberries, but can never find his recipe.  I'm still in search of that recipe, but I stumbled upon another one.  My oh my...it is tasty!
