Dear artificial corks,

Damn you to hell!

...ohhhh, corks.

Seriously. The first time I met one of those I shattered the neck of the bottle trying to pull the cork.

They put up a bit more struggle than a natural cork, but so far I haven't found a reason to hate them. But give me time...!

Every time I have problems with them, I remind myself how much more sustainable they are than regular corks (which I guess are coming from trees that are overharvested).

Happy birthday. The years have not touched you.

Well thank you, but it was actually Patty's birthday. And the years haven't touched her at all -- I mean, she just turned 24!

I SO enjoy when they just stretch when I put the corkscrew in so there is nothing to grab on to pull the damn thing out. I have worn more wine gently tapping the artificial cork down into the bottle....uuugh.

Oh, artificial corks. They led to a frantic phone call to my mom:

"Mom! How do I get wine out of a wool/synthetic blend?"
"Well, my cookbook says that you should boil it in milk."
"Mom, I can't boil the couch in milk."

Dear rm,

We are just as our God made us.

His Highness the Real Corker advises you to guard your tongue, or he shall dispatch a ninja cork to find you and insert itself somewhere very uncomfortable.

P.S. Oh yes, there are ninja corks. Don't let your "science" tell you otherwise.

What are these artificial corks you speak of? We have not had this problem? Not that S is drinking any longer...hint hint.

What's not to like with artificial corks? At first I was put off by them but they seem to do the job fine really.
