We’ve brought in the Winter squash and cleaned out the garden.
We got delicata…
…and butternut squash.
I happened to see this little fellow — a Scottish highlander, I believe — while I was out running some errands.
How to Read a Wine Label
Alcohol content must be stated on any wines containing more than 14% alcohol by volume. These wines, even if the level of alcohol is reached naturally, are considered “fortified” and taxed a a rate four times higher than wines under 14%. For wines under 14%, either the alcohol content may be stated or the designations “Table Wine” or “Light Wine” may be used, both phrases implying alcohol content within a range of 7% to 14%.
A latitude of 1% over or under the stated level is permitted on wines above 14%. A greater latitude of 1.5% is allowed on wines under 14% (although in no case is it allowed to exceed 14%). Many wines are labeled “alcohol 12.5% by volume” to take full advantage of this tolerance.
Workout Log
I went for a lower body workout at the MBNA Fitness Center tonight:
- Treadmill: 5 minutes @ 4 m.p.h.
- Seated Leg Press: 12@220, 12@220
- Prone Leg Curl: 12@4+3, 12@4+3
- Seated Leg Extension: 9@95, 8@95
- Seated Calf Extension: 12@8+2, 12@8+2
- Seated Crunch: 12@5, 12@5
- Back Extension: 12@135, 12@135
- Treadmill: 5 minutes @ 4 m.p.h.
I am going to increase the Leg Press and the Crunch next time. I also added the Seated Leg Extension. I am not sure why I did not include it to begin with.
Pan Roasting Chicken Breasts
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Heat [a few tablespoons of extra-virgin olive] oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until smoking. Sprinkle… chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Put them in the pan in a single layer, and brown them 2 minutes on each side. Put the skillet in the oven and roast until the chicken is just cooked through, about 15 minutes.
