October 24, 2021 Lunch - Pasta with Spaghetti Sauce with Sausage. Dinner - Charcuterie with Debbie and Jeff

Suzette went to work early today.

I spent the morning watching the news and soccer and showered and shaved.  The early game was wonderful. Liecester City beat a very aggressive Brentford 2 to 1.  The big match between Man U. and Liverpool turned out to be a dud.  Liverpool scored 5 points in the first half and Man U. was in total disarray.

The last half Liverpool simply passed the ball around and Man U. did not attack the ball, perhaps because one attack by Pogba resulted in a red card and his ejectment from the match, which left Man U. playing short handed with only 10 players.

I worked on the dematerialization forms for a while and then at 12:45 I heated some PPI pasta and Spaghetti sauce with Italian Sausage.  I drank the rest of the La Gitana Rioja with lunch.

At 2:00 I lay down and napped until 4:00.  

Then I dressed and I grabbed a bottle of 2018 Clay Hill De Ponte Pinot Noir and we left for Costco.  We power shopped, buying charcuterie, olives, baguettes, mushrooms, and brie cheese in 15 minutes.

We then drove to Debbie and Jeff’s house up on the side of the mountain  at the top of Glenwood Hills.

We spent a lovely evening watching the sun set and eating a light dinner.

Besides the French baguette and charcuterie we brought, Debbie put out guacamole and chips, a lovely onion dip, crackers, mustard, and cubes of cheese. 

Jeff drank beer and Debbie was probably drinking scotch, so Suzette and I drank the entire bottle of 2018 Clay Hill, which was full bodied with dark Cherry flavors and an almost jammy texture.

We nibbled and talked until 7:20, when we said goodnight.

We arrived him 7:50 so were able to see all of Grantchester and then watched Baptise, a series about a retired French policeman.

We went to bed at 10:00.

Bon Appetit
