CAFE SOUL 3RD ANNUAL HOLIDAY SPECIAL EDITION.
Did you kno that October is National Caramel Month?For all you grown and sexy fall enthusiast, I have a lil something that you may appreciate.. Since we are on the vurge of "National Caramel Month" (who comes up w/ this stuff.... friggin commercial observations of ishhh that's released annually) I've found the perfect wine for caramel.
Stone Hill winery (Herman, Mo) makes a wine called "Cream Sherry".. according to their website, Cream Sherry is, "fortified with grape brandy, slowly bake it and then barrel age it for three to five years." They claim that this results in a rich, nutty, caramelized flavor with a beautiful golden color, ideally suited to autumnal indulgences. I don't know about you but that sounded erotic as hell. **lights some candles and calls over that special someone!
Cream Sherry is perfect accompaniment to cookies, pastries and cakes, and especially caramel or chocolate desserts with nuts.
Facts and Stats:
TECHNICAL INFO: Harvested late-September; Alcohol - 19%; Residual Sugar - 9%
TASTING INFO: It possesses the rich, nutty flavor and aroma characteristic of traditional sherry. Great for after dinner by itself or as the perfect accompaniment to caramel or chocolate.
Look for it in ya local grocery spot...
Suggested retail price: $15.99 (500 ml)
I had the distinctive honor of meeting Teddy Blackett of B. Free Paparazzi last summer. Teddy was immediately an influential young man. Standing some odd inches over 6 feet tall with a sexy bald head and a warm personality, I was amazed.
Lately, Teddy has so busy with snapping events and building his brand. He has also been nominated to ALIVE Magazine's Sexy and Successful search for the most desirable movers and shakers in the St. Louis area. The Sexy and Successful candidate is young and professional with the total package of being sexy, savvy, and successful. And clearly Teddy is just that! So if you are reading this article, please take the time out to vote for Teddy at http://www.alivemag.com/sexyandsuccessful/. I have voted for him since I got wind of this and I am encouraging you to do the same!
I had the honor of requesting an eInterview May 30, 2009 to virtually catch up with Teddy and to see how things are going! Here's how the eInterview went!:
**************************************************************
CoCo.:
How did you come up with the name,logo and concept for B Free Paparazzi?
Teddy:
My name is Teddy Blackett, so I've always been Teddy B, always been a free spirit and after a difficult relationship I realized the importance of keeping that spirit alive. As far as the paparazzi I've always had a nack for taking candid photos that told a story. My friends started calling me the paparazzi cuz I'd always be the guy taking pictures when no one expected it.
CoCo.:
How long have you been doing event photography?
Teddy:
My first class was in 1993. Then in college in 2001, bought my 1st DSLR (digital single lens reflex)in August of 2008.
CoCo.:
Everyone that knows you knows that you also host opening movie nights at local movie theaters. How do you find the time for it all?
Teddy:
My friends!!!! Without there support I wouldn't be able to do any of it. Technology also helps, emails, credit cards, telephone transactions, and and the Internet make time management more manageable, LOL!
**SEE THE FULL INTERVIEW**
I've been asked this question countless of times and every time I never give the full answer... Hell I find a way to give a polite and politically correct answer, but you know what? I don't feel like sugarcoating it anymore....
