How I love thee. Let me count the ways! First. I made dinner tonight and it kicks major ass! Rachael Ray’s Steak dinner set (I used thawed, frozen spinach instead of kale) is phenomenal. I adjusted everything down to make food for 2 and it’s perfect. Second. Finally opened the Santa Cristina 2003 Sangiovese wine Brenda gave me for Christmas last year. It’s fantastic. Third.

Hello to fellow tablemates, Scott, Lee–my ale buddy, and Dave King of the Dance Floor! We ate. Mulligatawny soup, how I love thee lemme count the way! And the pudding. THE PUDDING!!! We danced.
