I’ve been meme’d! Or tagged! Or tagged for a meme! I may lose whatever blogging creds I’ve built up over the last few months for saying this, but when Bibliocook tagged me for the wine angle of Basic Juice’s meme with two tails - The Best in the Last 30 — I had to do some research. What is a meme?

A lot of things, apparently. Check out the long entry on Wikipedia. In blog terms, I guess it’s like a mutating idea — passed on from one blogger to the next, slowly contorting and evolving beyond recognition.

The tag came at an opportune time — I just passed my quals! Tearfully and painfully — yes, I literally shed tears during my orals, much to the discomfort of my committee members — but passed nonetheless. I am now deep into a drinking binge — Bibliocook caught me mid-sip.

The wine: Bodegas Iranzo’s Finca Solano Tempranillo Crianza, 2002, avaliable at your local Trader Joe’s. It’s Spanish, it’s organic, and it’s quite yum. Also, it’s cheap enough ($5.99) that I don’t feel bad about downing it in large quantities with Ben & Jerry’s Karamel Sutra. Cuz, right now, I’m in that kind of mood –

And before I pass out, I hereby tag jen of i like to knit for the vegan food leg of this meme, and Fletch of his brand spankin’ new personal blog, Two Heros, for the wine leg.
