text: The Künstlers have a wine tradition that goes back to the end of the Thirty Years war in 1648. Franz Künstler established the German holdings we know today in Hochheim in the mid-1960s, and slowly and diligently worked to build the reputation of his estate. His son Gunter joined his father in 1988 after completing his studies in Geisenheim, and assumed total control of the estate in 1992. Gunter is about as serious and intense a winemaker—and for that matter, a human being—as one might encounter. It's a bit unnerving, as he burns into your very soul with his searching eyes and tries to express his passion for the wine in words. Until you turn away, taste the wine, and truthfully tell him how wonderful it is: then a smile quietly appears. Like most truly great winemakers, Gunter believes that all great wines start in the vineyard, and pours his efforts into that philosophy. Nitrogen-fixing plants between rows, rainwater recycling systems, and minimal spraying (organic + conventional) exemplify his essentially "green" viticultural practice. Yields at Künstler are way below the norm for the Rheingau. Deacidification is rarely practiced and then only with the must and never with the finished wine. After fermentation the wine is left on the lees for four to six weeks (!) and then transferred to casks or tanks until bottling. In general the wines are vinified in a reductive style. The Künstler estate is currently comprised of about 32ha (80acres) with 85% planted to Riesling and 15% to Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir), spread over the Herrnberg, Hölle, Hofmeister, Kirchenstück, Reichestal , Stielweg, and Domdechaney vineyards, all south-facing sites in Hochheim. The Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) is vinified using Burgundian methods.

I've collected these from all over the place. I've used a dehydrator off and on for about 25 years. Sometimes I go gangbusters and sometimes I get burnt out and put it away for a while. My old-faithful American Harvest thing I got as a wedding gift gave up the ghost not that long ago and I just ordered a Excalibur to replace it. I intend to get my monies worth out of the thing. LOL!
I'll just post until I run out of time but y'all throw some of your own recipes in here too.
Au gratin Potato Chips
3 cups potatoes, peeled, boiled and mashed
1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 tsp. salt
Put all ingredients in a blender or food processor and mix. Spread onto solid sheets and dry in your dehydrator for 4 hours. With a clean butter knife, lift entire ring off sheet, turn over and dry for 1 hour longer, or until dry enough to break into pieces

Have apparently won two free tickets to see Mumford & Sons whenever it is that they're coming to Australia next. Our college VP works for the Enmore/Metro in Sydney and was giving the tickets away to whoever was the loudest at the inter-college band night last week, which was apparently me and my Green Man suit. |

It was a caffeine induced smash. I went in and just wrote crazily fast and just bashed out everything I knew that could be at all related to the questions I answered. I doubt what I did was one of my finest pieces of work, but it will hopefully be enough to get a comfortable 2.2 in that module (maybe scrape a 2.1 if lucky) and that will do on this occasion, because this is the worst subject I have studied since GCSE maths.

Made My Day
A guy under the name of "Michael Divineuto" keeps on trying to add me on facebook, and is adding all these cricketers on. Has no picture, and seems to just type random rubbish on their walls, seems like he doesn't know any of them. Honestly think it's probably brockley, trying to get any scoops on player movements. I mean, he hasn't even spelt his own name right?! Similar thing happened a few months ago, with a Lloyd Mash profile being started, with his picture being taken straight from the Vic Bushrangers site, and Lloyd was spelt wrong.

Joseph and Kayla Simons aren't your typical first-time home buyers.
Armed with low interest rates, bargain prices and good income, the young couple sidestepped a starter home and bought a 3,000-square-foot house on a tree-lined street in Maple Grove, Minn.
"Since we knew we could easily afford to buy more than we were initially looking to spend, the choice was quite simple," said Joseph Simons. "Why not buy a forever home with everything we want?"
Real estate agents say more twentysomething, childless buyers are snapping up sprawling homes instead of starting out small. It's a trend that's gaining momentum as young buyers seize on some of the best housing deals in history.
While the shift is unlikely to kick-start construction of new subdivisions filled with McMansions, it's helping to revive sales of midpriced and upper-bracket houses. The Simonses, for instance, initially planned to spend about $200,000 on a townhouse, but ended up spending tens of thousands more once they started shopping.
"The more starter homes we saw, the less impressed we became," Joseph Simons said.
Clearly, most first-timers don't have the financial muscle to buy their dream house, but with rents on the rise, the Simonses and other young buyers face competition from investors who can pay cash for inexpensive properties they can use for rentals.
For the Simonses, increasing their budget increased their options, even though they bought a house that has far more space than they need.
"At this point the house still feels a little big, but we love it," Joseph Simons said. "And when we decide to start a family, we don't have to go anywhere."
This shift to larger homes runs counter to buying trends in recent years that showed higher demand for smaller houses. When the recession hit, many builders decreased square footage and touted their homes as more efficient and economical for buyers.
But Walter Maloney, spokesman for the National Association of Realtors, said many of today's buyers are realizing that it could take many years to gain enough equity to trade up to a costlier house, so many are planning to stay longer. Last year, the typical buyer expected to be in their house 15 years compared with 10 years in 2010, he said.
Mike and Anne Jewison learned that lesson the hard way. Before they were married, Anne Jewison bought a townhouse near peak prices, and now owes more on the mortgage than the house is worth. That's why when they decided to buy a house together, the twentysomething couple opted for a place they'd enjoy for years. They're building a 4,500-square-foot house in the Enclave, a new subdivision in Medina, Minn., where prices range from $420,000 to more than $500,000.
While they're building a bigger house than they need, they say they're not stretching their budget. They've even made sure that they can afford the house even if one of them wants to take a break from work after they start having children.
"We don't ever want to be in a position where we feel strapped," said Mike Jewison. "Nor did we want to give up a ton of things to move into a house where we'd want to live for a long time."
