With apologies to Omar Khayyam

Since I’ve been home a lot the past few weeks, dinner has become a big part of my day. Planning the menu, converting the recipes and calculating the macros in myfitnesspal.com, shopping for groceries, the actual meal preparation (and of course, taking pictures) and finally, playing and serving the meal for George (accompanied by taking more pictures). I can stretch dinner into an all day event. Today, I actually have other things to do though; so voila, I’ve created a new Friday night “tradition,” pasta night! The sauce is simmering as we speak and thanks to Wegman’s and one of our favorite Fauquier County (VA) vineyards Three Fox Vineyards dinner will be on the table in less than 20 minutes tonight! Can’t wait to end the week with “A jug of wine, a loaf of bread, and thou.”

Until next time…keep on sweating!

ps – Congratulations to John and Holli Todhunter of Three Fox Vineyards on winning 4 medals at the 2016 Finger Lakes International Wine Competition, including the wine we’re sharing tonight, the 2013 Piomontese Nebbiolo (bronze).
