Old bread and chicken broth, apparently Vancouver's soup kitchens are free but not yummy.

Homemade chicken soup w/egg noodles

It’s forecast time again so to give myself a break from starring at excel all morning, I went to my local pub and had roasted parsnip soup and a caesar salad with roasted chicken. A couple of pints later and I’m having a hard time getting motivated to finish my forecast……

Champagne stemmed mussels with, Champagne.

Tasty black bean/corn wrap at my favorite local lunch eatery.

1/2 of a chicken at Prince's Hot Chicken in Nashville. Spice was Hot. My scalp is still sweating and bad things are going on in my guts but it was worth it!

Oh - I washed it down with a basket of fries and two liters of diet coke.

D's home made chilli.
Yummm

Today is my b-day (32!) and my wife made my favorite pesto with chicken for lunch served with a wonderful 2004 Domaine de la Vougeraie Corton-Charlegagne Le Carlemagne that she picked out for me. Lovely lunch and wine and even better company. Unfortunately I have to work the rest of the afternoon, but meeting friends tonight at a pub! Happy New Years!

I had mismatch of items grazings at Whole Foods while shopping for dinner and appetizers for tonight and tomorrow.

Costco polish dog and a diet coke for $1.50. Man, you can't beat that.

If you like spicy food - you need to have lunch here when you are in town. "Hot chicken" is a Nashville tradition that deserves trying.

take a look at this link if you are curious:

www.nashvillehotchicken.com the link for Prince's is the one to look at first.

Happy Birthday Glenn!

A little cold coming on so I had some chicken noodle soup at work. Had a nice sauna sweat at the ymca after work.

Happy b-day Glen. We'll toast your b-day tonight.

Thanks for the well wishes everyone! It was a fun b-day for sure.

Soup and a side of raw beef.

Ah, a 1976 birthday. I'm hoping you enjoyed a wonderful wine from Loire or Champagne from 1976 to celebrate. Both were stellar in '76, and Germany as well.

At 32, your best years are still to come Glenn. Happy Birthday!

Thanks for your kind words W+A. I hope to share a bottle with you soon.

Champagne from 76 sounds wonderful, I will have to look into that. The only birth year wine I have had was at the La Chapelle tasting I went to last month. Everyone figured it would be way over the hill but it showed surprising well.

We will share a bottle or two I'm sure.

Do not overlook Germany, the wines from '76 can be VERY special.

Chardonnay steamed scallops.

Spinach stromboli at the local pizzeria. Then, spent 30 minutes walking around downtown Indy at lunchtime with my Chargers LT jersey on. NOTHING! Indy is as wimpy a football town as there is. The fans here don't not like their team, they're just so danged polite. Would have gotten a "Chargers suck!" in Pittsburgh, New England, or Miami. And, a knife attack in Oakland.

Brunch in Spanish Harlem...eggs, salami, fried cheese, mashed plantain. Washed down with a mamey shake.
