There’s always a reason to have a glass (or bottle) of wine. Thanks to the Wine Wankers I was informed of the holiday today: International Cabernet Day.
Mr. Aitch and I were planning on burgers on the grill for dinner but we can always celebrate the day with a bottle of cabernet.
Cheers!
Read the Wine Wankers post: Happy International Cabernet Day!.
Thank you Conrad for the heads (bottoms) up.
Edit: I do know who’s playing but I’m only watching for the commercials.
…and I can do what I want to. Actually I think it is supposed to be “party” instead of “blog” and “cry” but it’s my blog and I can do what I want to.
I’m taking a medication that is tearing up my stomach. Literally. So I missed work yesterday before I realized I should take this medication with food and not on an empty stomach like I was doing. Issue resolved.
I had a lot to do at work today. Like getting some forms to our clients. IRS forms to be exact. Forms that don’t line up with our software. Three-part “carbonless” forms that have to be ripped apart before printing. (Seriously, who uses impact printers any more?) Forms on super thin paper that don’t go through any printer we have without skipping a page or ripping the form to smithereens.
Today is National Do Nothing Day and while I had plenty to do today (thanks to missing work yesterday), I am liking this day. At least I’m liking it now.
It was also “lasagna” day. One of my co-workers has a meeting every third Thursday each quarter. He goes past a restaurant that has a special on Thursdays on lasagna for only $5.25. Including fabulous, fresh, Italian bread.
Easy dinner.
Something I could relate to today: EASY.
We partook of the lasagna for dinner.
And freshly baked Italian bread.
Along with a bottle of wine.
Menage a Trois. Inexpensive. But good.
Which we enjoyed.
To the very last drop.
A wine bottle to be more specific.
Mr. Aitch and I drik wine…occasionally. Most of our wine bottles are the typical green, brownish green, dark green, or very dark green.
The little bottle on the far right contains a special olive oil now.
We emptied these this morning.
Just kidding.
A few years ago I saw a large wreath in one of our local restaurants with 2-3 beautiful red wine bottle, grape leaves and various hanging grapes on it. I decided to make my own.
We bought the same wine and saved the empty bottle for my project. I suppose I could have asked the restaurant to save some empties for me but what fun is that?
My wreath isn’t nearly as large as the one in the restaurant and only one wine bottle fit on it.
But I like it.
And so did one of the teenage trick-or-treaters we had the other night. (I whispered to her that the bottle was empty.)
Any suggestions on what to do with all our empty wine bottles? Please leave suggestions in the comments!
