Friday night at the club celebrating DnVsGrandma's birthday - A bowl of clam chowder, followed by a NY strip with Alaskan King Crab legs. Had some S. Anderson bubbles, and a 2005 St. Clement Oroppas and 2003 Beringer PR Cabernet.
Saturday night we were at the cousins in the Bay Area. Lasagna, green salad, fruit salad, and garlic bread. No wine as I had a two hour drive back home.
Last night - Duck season started on Saturday, so a friend brought over some teal breasts. I marinated them and then stuffed them with garlic, jalapeno, and ginger, then rolled them with bacon and put them on the grill. Then it was chicken and sausages on the grill, fettucine with butter and herbs, green salad. 2006 Patassy Pinot Noir....

Cold and raining last night so we popped into our favorite local Italian place. I had a comforting bowl of paccheri pasta with button mushrooms, Italian sausage, pecorino and a dash of truffle oil. Mrs. Glennk had classic carbonara. 2006 Bersano Barbera. Wine was very average, but the food hit the spot!

Indeed! Can't wait for dinner!
A co-worker of mine is an avid hunter and, thanks to his skills, has kept me well stocked in a variety of game meat over the years. I've got a freezer full of elk, moose, and deer.
Figured a nice tannic Cali Cab and a well-aged Aussie Shiraz would pair nicely with this!
