Wine: Evil. Food: Lamb Stew. Life: Insane.
This evening LisaKit had her semi-weekly D&D game. One of the running themes of this game is Barrels of Evil, apparently imported from some other plane. Since we're dealing with Barrels of Evil, one of the other players brought a bottle of R Winery's 2006 Cab Sav, Evil.
It has a nice smell, but it's very astringent. Purple colored, flows freely, not very oily. It's not a bright wine, despite the astringency.
It went pretty well with the lamb and root vegetable stew I made. (3 lbs. lamb shoulder and neck, dredged in flour and browned in bacon grease, stewed for an hour in two cups of red wine. Then toss in 1 lb. each cubed potatoes, turnips, parnsips, and fennel bulb, stew for another hour, stirring ocassionally. Eat when the vegetable are soft. Yum!)
I haven't been blogging because I've been coding my damned brains out. Between a social networking site (that isn't paying me), a social bookmarking site (that isn't paying me), my own little projects (which aren't paying me), I haven't had time to blog. Worse, last week I spent most of it running around like a chicken with my head cut off between the election, four dentist appointments among the kids and Omaha, Kouryou-chan's dance classes, and other life-changing events. It sucks being the only driver.
