Friday night, I just poured myself a glass of La Vendimia , a Rioja from Spain. Very tasty!I stayed home today, bad sore throat, had to cancel the birthday party tonight. I'm alone with Ginger the dog and thought I could make that recipe everybody is making right now because of the movie Julie and Julia. French cooking is trendy again. We just got back from Germany and France and so I am really in the mood for french cooking. A co- worker of mine brought me a sample last week to work and now I have to do at least as good as she did and it was excellent! My girl is skiing with some clients from work and I have some time to myself which is nice even I miss her. I will work on my business cards this weekend for my Photography, go down to Tecate tomorrow and get some shooting time in. Back to the cooking.
I got some Beaujolais (Beaujolais-Villages, Louis Jadot) for the cooking and of course there will be a glass for me. Getting to cutting the garlic, carrots and blanching the onions...
The smell of the bacon fills the entire house, Ginger's nose is up in the air, John Mayer is singing in the background(I can't help myself, hating the guy but I really like his latest...)
I'm doing pretty good, I think. Well, I can't really follow recipes too much, I have no patience. (which is a great Gun's 'n Roses song) So I read it and then I do what I remember, maybe look back at a picture. I also had more wine already than the recipes calls for but I drank it. I have fun though, Ginger is watching. It will be great! I can tell already.
It still bugs me somehow that I like John Mayer.
So it's getting worst. I have my iPod on just John Mayer, it playes not just hios new album, it's playes also a live album and Continuum, his album before and I like them ALL.
Have to say my throat is almost back to normal, must be the wine.
Got he beef cooking, poored everything in the pot and it's now cooking for what? like 4 hours. Let's finish rthe wine. For everybody who's doing it the first time, get at least 2 bottles of wine because you're gonna use almost 1 bottle. Get a really good wine, it will show/taste on your meal but hey, you gonna drink it aLL NIGHT LONG! Get a good one.
