Everyone knows, that the most appropriate wine for any occasion, ESPECIALLY oversalted gelatinous corn starch freeze dried chicken byproducts with broccoli, is Yago Sangria. Bonus points if you add your ramen to the mix, while taking your nanny kids to the museum. (just to keep it on topic)

Accept no substitutes.

When I grew up in Oz (without a nanny, or even a manny - just to keep it on topic) we had this delightful elixir called Blackberry Nip. I didn't know anyone who mixed it with Ramen, though.

DeKuyper's Blackberry Brandy...is that what you mean? The sugary-tart syrup that caused many an underage wanna-be alcoholic unending hours of fun puking in the high school bathroom? THAT blackberry nip? The stuff you bought to hide in your purse because Slo Gin Fizzes couldn't be stolen out of the bowling alley bar?

Just buy some chicken breasts or something. Cook what you are going to eat, and get some sort of veggies. Steamed veggies are sooooooo yummy. That's way healthier and probably cheaper.

Hmmm I don't know if the same thing, except for the underage wanna be alcoholic part, it was often a person's first drink - but while I was looking for a pic for you a forum with the topic "fluids inducing the Worst Hangovers On Earth" popped up. That should give you an idea.

I certainly wouldn't let my nanny drink it.

Oh that's an Australian wine. Blackberry brandy is...sort of like pancake syrup. Flammable pancake syrup.

Yes, because it makes much more sense to give the GOVT a tax free loan for a year instead of figuring out your taxes so you keep more each month instead of getting money back at the end of the year Getting money back at the END of the year isn't a good thing you know. You want to get close enough to breaking even as you can.

Keep avoiding claiming your nanny job because when the GOVT does find out and charges you back taxes, you are surely going to be in for a surprise

THAT certainly puts the bird's eye stuff into perspective!

Popcorn, here too! I used to stop at the convenience store and buy it ever morning on my way to work! Such a healthy breakfast!
