On my way home this afternoon I called to see what we had in the freezer that would be good for dinner. With little negotiation we settled on our much loved
BLT's. Quick, easy and delicious. Bacon is such a delight that I've heard there are near vegans who refer to themselves as "bacon vegetarians". If I were a vegan, that would be me...such is my love of bacon. In my mind there is no connection between pigs and bacon...it just doesn't exist. Bacon is some mysteriously, wonderful, condiment. That's my story.
But, after a stop at the Liquor Barn on my way through Lexington, I was loaded down with cheese...St. Andre' and
Dubliner, French
batard, a variety of olives, good wine (rated 90 something but Brien thought it was nasty), and a small bottle of
Asti Spumante' Martini &
Rossi...it is our 22nd anniversary next week after all.
After a platter of bread, cheese and olives and a champagne and
Chambord (not to mention a glass of Reserve Grand
Veneur, Cotes Du Rhone 2008) the BLT thing faded into oblivion. What a delightful way to spend an evening...sitting on the porch with Brien, surrounded by my critters, smelling Spring in the air (as well as the disgusting smell of a wet, gaseous Labrador), and enjoying a civilized snack. After being gone all week it was bliss.

Really like the new look. Also love the pooch. Love you. Mag
Thanks Mag...it's easier to read and a little fresher. Trying to add more photos too to perk things up a bit. Gotta get Mom going on the "enhancement" food pics!
