Thanks, PDT. Feeling pretty good but I know that can be fleeting. It's fantastic actually. Not only did I do a fantastic job of spicing my steak (W recently was doing mine better than I could) but after dinner I turn on the TV to see Zappa Plays Zappa on PBS Detroit. Tonight is all about me.
But I will request that, in the future, if Calla is sleeping somewhere other than home, the "other parent" needs to know ASAP. (Like I ever keep D overnight. I am ALWAYS home at nights except for the occasional work trip)
As a bachelor, I never could bother with salad's or potatoes. I was a one or two course guy. Too many things on the go. Must have come from university where a box of Rice-A_Roni was dinner.
Give me main course and an appetizer. No fluff.
Regarding the wine, it was in the fridge. I have never really paid much attention to wine. The Bin 555 (Australian Shiraz) was really good. I enjoyed. I apparently got so carried away I 180'd myself.
