November 12, 2018 Lunch – PPI Vietnamese Miso Noodle Soup. Dinner – Sautéed Smoked Pork Chop on medley of Sautéed Squash, asparagus, and potato garnished with sauerkraut and apple

No heat in the house and the temperature dropped below freezing last night.  Thank goodness we have the fireplace in the TV room that heats the brick column that forms the core of the house.

Today was the worst day of the year in the market. I am officially a loser for the year, for the first time.

I paid bills, discussed tax filings with Rahim, did a demand letter for Zul.

I heated the PPI Vietnamese Miso Noodle Soup for lunch and reconstituted it with wheat noodles, mung bean noodles, red miso, tofu, a dash of sesame oil, a T. of Chinese cooking wine, and six chicken mini wontons.



At 4:30 I got cold and lay in bed to stray warm.  When Suzette arrived at 5:30 she turned on two of the heaters the plumbers brought us and she warmed the bedroom a bit and the TV room.  I arose and went back to the TV room, which was comfortably warm and sliced a yellow squash, two PPI baked potatoes and about ten stalks of asparagus.

Willy called and said he would join us for dinner so a bit after 6:30 Suzette started sautéing the vegetables in a large skillet and three smoked pork chops in another large skillet. She also shredded an apple and added it to a container of PPI sauerkraut and heated it in the microwave.

I selected a bottle of 2017 Gruet Rose’ of Pinot Noir and put it in the fridge to chill.  A couple of minutes before 7:00 Suzette plated the vegetables, lay a pork chop on the pile of vegetables and spooned some sauerkraut on top of the pork chop fo4 a vertical presentation.  At exactly the moment we sat down to eat Willy arrived and joined us.  We discussed the candy store zoning and design.

After dinner Willy left and I ate some vanilla ice cream with Kahlua, rum, chocolate sauce, whipped cream and two maraschino cherries.

Suzette went to bed but I waited up until 11:00 to pick Luke up at the airport upon his return from NYC.

Bon Appetit
