How Smart Is Your Right Foot ?

How Smart Is Your Right Foot ?

TRY THIS NOW !

This is so funny that it will boggle your mind.

And you will keep trying it at least 50 more times to see if you can outsmart
your foot.

But you can't !!!

1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make
clockwise circles with it.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right
hand. Your foot will change direction!!!

I told you so... And there is nothing you can do about it.

Spanish Wine Dinner @ EL Mundo ~ 人物篇

安排這個酒宴，因為自己頗喜歡西班牙美食，而且對這套西班牙酒又有信心。固希望與各好友放下急速的節奏，慢慢享受一頓美味的盛宴。

很高興及難得兩位孖寶老師可以出席在場壓陣，另我寬心不少！謝謝喔！

希望大家當晚渡過一個開心快樂的晚上！

如有任何不盡善的安排，歡迎留言或電郵告知，日後盡力改進。

下次再見！

四傻奇想曲 ...... “嘩、如果今晚抽到支 Lafite 82 就好啦！”

側田班長 …..“你地就想，邊有咁筍！”

Damon 老師 ….. “唉，有無都唔關我事，大會規定，呀 Sir 抽到都要攞翻出黎再抽！！”

見到 Hung Sir 想嘔？？？

Eric，叫左你唔好成日扮“遠峰一青”嘛！唉！

Eric: 〝你卑鄙，人地扮呂奇之嘛！〞

講緊乜，咁專心？？

“Damon, 快望鏡頭呀，上鏡啦！”

三位老友記咁正經，都唔知同你地講咩好！

大家好認真研究張 wine list

預先準備的五份抽獎小禮物

瑪利亞高歌以娛賓客？豈敢！恐怕一開聲，大家搵門口走哂，咁就大件事！~~~ 抽獎開始啦！

當晚頭獎 ~ Lafite 82 洋蠋版一支

大家實在太喜歡抽獎！詢眾要求下，我那兩支 “私伙酒” 都要被上繳作抽獎用途，唉！太好啦！

開心、開懷 … 一個輕鬆、滿足的晚上！

Spanish Wine Dinner @ EL Mundo ~ 醇酒篇

Sangria ~ 西班牙人很喜歡跟朋友聊天時喝的酒。

用肉桂，加一些檸檬、果汁、水果和紅酒。酸酸的，有點像雜果賓冶，但有些不太重的酒精。挺開胃的一種飲料。

謝謝老板額外為我們安排的 Sangria，好讓大家有半小時的寫意時間與新知舊遇聊聊天，交流交流。

BODEGAS ARZUAGA NAVARRO

Ribera del Duero, Spain

Cava Oriol de Vallformosa Brut, Penedes

Made from 60% Parellada and 40% Chardonnay grapes. Yellow straw colour with greenish hints and fine bubbles. Full citric fruit aromas with hints of ripe tropical fruits, delicate, subtle, fine and elegant. Full bodied and creamy on the palate with fruity toasted notes. A very well balanced cava.

Bodegas Arzuaga Fan d'Oro Chardonnay 2006

Rich yellow straw in colour with intense bouquet of ripe mango, pineapple and tropical fruits, laced lightly buttered toasted bread. A fresh and delicious palate of Provenza herbs with citrus characters to a nice long finish. What a delight to savour the only chardonnay from the famous Ribera region that goes so well with seafood and tapas!

Bodegas La Planta 2006

Made from grapes (100% tempranillo) grown at La Planta Estate. The vines are stressed in order to obtain the best quality, concentration and complex fruity aromas. After a short ageing in oak barrel, this red is a fruity wine with mature and pleasant characters. An intense cherry red colour. On the nose, there are fresh and ripe fruity aromas, vanilla and oaky hints. Cherry and mazzard cherry flavours are complemented with vanilla and clove hints and tobacco.

Pago Florentino Tinto 2004

Deep in color, this modern style tempranillo offers quite a bit for the buck. Notes of chocolate, smoke and black fruit on the nose. Full-bodied, velvety smooth and lush with more black fruit and chocolate on the palate. Very nice.

Arzuaga Tinto Crianza 2004

A vibrant red colour displaying ripened red fruits aromas with nice French oak and evolves into a beautiful and mix of flowers, dry petals and herbs. On the palate the wine is rich, smooth and balanced. Displays great depth of flavours with obvious sweet tannins that lingers on to a long firm finish. Superb with any kind of meat dishes!!

Arzuaga Reserva 2004

The colour is deep cherry with ochre-toned on the rim. The complex bouquet is full of sweet fruits with toasty notes and nuances of cocoa. Powerful and elegant.
