I'm home from our wonderful trip. We were in the New England states for about 5 days. Wow! The changing of the leaves is something that I have wanted to see all my life. Every other time I was in the area the leaves had changed and I missed it. We do not have the 4 seasons (more like 2 seasons) where I live so this one one of those things I've had on my "bucket list". I now have been able to cross it off my list. Such a nice trip! Meeting Bizzo was also a wonderful experience! She is just as nice in person as she is on the forum. More pictues later of our trip. Tomorrrow I leave for another "experience" I can cross off the bucket list! We have reservations in New Orleans for the kitchen table at Commander's Palace. This table sits in the kitchen and you get to have a little of everything the staff prepares. We are going with another gastonomical couple that will appreciate the wine list and food as much as we will. We booked a room at a B&B close to the restaurant so we can walk and not drive.... We can always take a taxi but that may take us to Pat O'Brien's on Bourbon street and this is supposed to be a short trip... I turn 50 at the end of this month, so, what the hay, we are having a wonderful time. B&B where we will stay: http://www.maisonperrier.com/ Here is a link that might be useful: Commander's Palace

Oh Peppi............ I am not suggesting there aren't similar recipes, but I have yet to see one that uses Rose's Lime, and the increased tequila which is what makes this recipe a stand out(and much better IMO)... many use cream cheese, fresh lime, granulated sugar, etc and other variations on a theme. I am just saying this particular iteration is one that my GF and I came up with, and the one that I posted on the Cookalong. I see no reason why I shouldn't claim *my* version.

I would try again and maybe this time ask "jokingly" if she's getting cold feet and changed her mind...I understand when you see something you really want and it keeps nagging at you. I went as far as...many months after deciding against going to look at a sofa table that I was very interested in listed on CL, emailing the seller back asking if they still had it...Guess where it is now? Yep, in my DR area :-) But agree with the others, you could easily find something on CL or a thrift shop to repaint your self similar to what she has.

I know this is an ancient post, but I want to just jump in for the benefit of any archive researchers and say that as of 2020, Benjamin Moore is still offering the 880 White Zinfandel as part of its Classics Collection. It tends to lean toward mauve, and it's a decidedly dusty pink pastel tone when on the walls. For someone wanting even a more subtle pink, try Benjamin Moore's White Opulence 879 (also notated as OC-69 in some places). The White Opulence appears white in some lights but gives off a tinge of pink in other lights. I'm considering it for an open-space living area where as the original poster so aptly described, it's hard to come to a decision between male/female perspectives on the color for the living areas. I'm also struggling to match a fresh pink color with natural cherry wood cabinetry that will be in the area, and the White Opulence is not so pink that it clashes with the cherry wood orange leaning, yet it also accommodates the red decor we have around the corner from the kitchen.
