Breakfast was two scrambled eggs and some ham with two cups of coffee. I weighed 157 pounds.
I am on vacation this week.
I had a banana and a glass of orange juice as a mid-morning snack.
Lunch was two more of those little ham sandwiches and a Saranac Pale Ale.
Gretchen and I had another Saranac Pale Ale late this afternoon.
Dinner was a marinated grilled Delmonico steak with sautéed onions and Indian Harvest Aztec blend rice, accompanied by to glasses of Redwood Creek Merlot, with three butterscotch squares for dessert. The steak was from a steer raised by the dairy farmer down the road… and very tasty and tender. They raise all of their own feed.
I have to say that these two bottles from Redwood Creek — both the Merlot and the Pinot Grigio — were much dryer than comparable wines from other vineyards. Not that that is a bad thing. They were still quite drinkable, but it is something to keep in mind. Also, the corks in both bottles were quite loose (some wineries prefer loose corks). I would recommend a cork screw to extract the cork. I personally prefer a cork pull. I feel that I am much more likely to get out the cork undamaged. However, it requires an initial downward force on the cork. If the cork is loose, this can drive the cork down into the bottle. Again… just something to keep in mind.
