Not to mention that the Steelers lost today. To the lowly Chiefs. Grrr.
And there's holiday stress. Lots of it. I wish I could fast forward to January and ignore the holidays. Much as I (usually) love the holidays, my holiday cheer is already squished and destroyed and I'm nearly at the point of not wanting to bother with anything - no Christmas tree, no baking cookies, no buying presents. Nothing. Screw it. Why must people try to manipulate and control and guilt others into doing things? That's not very holiday-like.
So you see, the wine is necessary. It's been a lousy Sunday. A lovely Chardonnay can cheer one up (or at least lull you to sleep where you forget all your woes!)!
This morning, SP went out to Giant Eagle to get 'Eggplant Roll' from the prepared food section. It was today's special - a signature entree with 2 sides, enough to feed two people for one small price. Unfortunately, by 11:30 am they were out of eggplant, so he instead bought the 'substitute specal' Mahi Mahi. Yuck. I'm not a fish person. But he did get some bakery goodies, one of which was this:

Tonight we steamed the lobster tails we bought at the new Giant Eagle Market District on Opening Weekend.





I'd definitely make the risotto again and hope it turns out less crunchy. The lobster was a very nice treat. A yummy dinner after a not-so-good Sunday!!
**Update: The vet doesn't know what's wrong with Hermes, so he's coming home tonight and SP will have to take him in early tomorrow morning so the vet and the lab techs can do more tests on him. His temperature is low for a cat and his tummy is sore since he flinches when it is touched.
I went to MD again today and got yet another carrot juice. That stuff is addicting.
ReplyDeleteI saw the turkey cookies. They are too cute!
