We made BLT sandwiches for breakfast and I boiled the four medium
artichokes I had bought at Trader Joes’ for $2.29 on Thursday. Then we went to Goodwill, where I found a
great Armani Exchange (“AX”) shirt for $4.50, but Suzette did not find any
Thanksgiving decorations. We then drove
to the Apple Store for Suzette troubleshooting session and I went to Total Wine
and bought a six pack of Manger’s Irish Apple Hard Cider and I found a new
item, 2012 a Tempranillo Eguren Rosé for $6.99.
Then I picked Suzette up at the Apple store and we drove to
the Salvation Army thrift store. But Suzette
never found any Thanksgiving decorations.
As we exited the Salvation Parking Lot I saw Los Equipales across the street
and suggested we try it. We were the
only customers and so we sat on the patio and drank Mexican beers ($4.75 each) and
ordered ceviche ($7.00) and queso fundido ($8.00). It was very tipico and we could imagine ourselves
sitting among the flowers on the Malacón in PV in Mexico as we bathed in the warm sun.
We planned to go to Low Spirits to see Twin Forks at 8:00 so
we decided to not cook dinner. Instead we
made a mayonnaise, lemon, avocado, garlic greens and tarragon dipping sauce with a touch of olive oil and we ate one artichoke each with
a piece of bread and some marinated asparagus with glasses of the 2012 Eguren Rosé, which
turned out to be very good. It had lots
of character and a predominance of red tempranillo flavor. Suzette loves the heavier more red oriented rosés,
while I like the lighter fruitier more French style rosés. Eguren is definitely is in the heavier more red category.
We enjoyed the music and drank glasses of, what else, Campo
Viejo Reserva Tempranillo ($7.00). We enjoyed
the music an actually stayed until almost 12:00 midnight.
Bon Appétit
