Tonight – Grilled chicken (marinated in EVOO, garlic and thyme) with roasted new potatoes and sautéed sugar snap peas. Fighting a cold still, no wine.

I am on a roll. Burrito, then chicken pot pie. Last night was leftover chicken and sausages. At least I opened a 2006 Taz Cuyama River Pinot....

Pad Ped Thai (feels like a Friday)

Coconut curry shrimp over rice. 2003 Joh. Jos. Christoffel Erben Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Auslese ***. The pairing worked very well....

- duck risotto with black grape sauce; 1998 Tardieu-Laurent Cote-Rotie

- Black Forest Cake, made from scratch by my wonderful wife this morning to satisfy my jones for something I haven't had in maybe 10 years

fried chicken

Seaquam and g-man had very different dinners but they both sound tasty to me!!

Went out to a little neighborhood Italian place night. They had a wonderful Osso Buco special with risotto. Mrs. Glennk had lobster spaghetti. Simple Chianti.

Seared scallops, truffle covered risotto and citrus salad.

All kinds of Indian food in what's supposed to be Bermuda's best Indian restaurant. It was good, but I guess it's just not my taste in fine dining.

I made spaghetti for the penn state vs wisconsin game which tips off in a couple minutes.

Is this your first experience with Indian, Board-O? Not sure if I'd expect Bermuda to offer much. Don't know. If you'd like to try it again, I found some of the Indian places on 6th Ave, in the E. Village to be very good when I was there last July. Just a thought.

Hot wings Friday night and pizza last night. What a week. At least I have some real nice rib eyes going on the grill in about 20 minutes. Will also have a Caesar salad topped with shrimp. Don't know what cab I will open just yet....

Opened a 2004 CSJ Cinq Cepages. It is still very primary and needs time. The last sip, after three hours in the decanter, was much better than the first...,

Osso bucco and saffron risotto. Had one corked CdP and another that wasn't that great with it. Wish I had some barolo that was ready now....

Veal Scallopine
Risotto
Spinich Salad

Made some red sauce yesterday. Debating what to do with it....

crab meat,
rice with lobster broth

Bill Bailey's Pollo Asado. Bought at Costco. Deboned and butterflied chicken leg quarters. Not real impressed....

Quiz night at the local pub. We finished in the middle of the pack which is a win in my book considering I don’t know much about British history or pop culture. Had a lamb burger & chips. Adnams Bitter Ale.

Braised beef shanks. Served with penne rigati. 2006 Vino Noceto Sangiovese.

I haven't but all the port nuts have all of their offlines there ALL the time ...

Italian last night. I went for the fresh pappardelle with meatballs, peas and a spicy red sauce. Mrs. Glennk had the spaghetti in olive oil, garlic, chili and fresh crab. Nice.

Went out for sushi last night. Draught Kirin....

That would have been the choice if they had it....

Good choice if Champagne is not an option.

Grilled tri-tip, red beans and rice, green salad. 2003 Rosemount Shiraz Show Reserve. Nice....

I agree. My order of enjoyment with sushi, 1. Beer 2. Green Tea 3. Sake/Soju 4. Champagne.

both of these are deprivation beers ... they should only be consumed when you're deprived of a quality beer option.

a crisp American pilz (think: Victory) is a much better option ... of course, I assume such an option wasn't offerred.

Things have finally settled down with harvest so I'm back to cooking again ... tonight we are having stuffed shrimp (with crabmeat) with white wine/tarragon sauce over wild rice; tossed salad and an appetizer(TBD). Will probably have a chard (haven't picked one yet).

Bud and Heineken were the other choices....
