October 19, 2025 Breakfast - Sausage and Eggs. Lunch - Leftover Vietnamese Bun  Dinner - Scallops Piccata with Linguine 

I got up around 7:00 and made a cup of hot chocolate with a shot of rum and watched Aston Villa beat Tottenham and then Man United beat Liverpool. Both were exciting upsets because in each the underdog persevered and won.

Then I made breakfast for us, I sautéed two sausage patties, one slice of onion, and fried three eggs. I also toasted four slices of bread that I buttered and spread jam on them. Suzette drank her Sunday Bloody Mary and I drank hot tea.

Then from 12:30 we worked at our desks until 2:30 when I ate the leftover bun Vietnamese food left from lunch on Friday at Pho Linch, and watched the Cowboys beat Washington.

Suzette watched the HGTV channel.

Then at 5:00 we decided to cook scallops with linguine with a piccata wine sauce so we went to the garden and picked parsley, lemon thyme, and sorrel.

I chopped those and also 1/2 cup of onion and 4 cloves of garlic.

Suzette fetched capers and started a pot of water boiling and boiled the linguine and then sautéed the onion and garlic and then added the parsley, capers, sorrel, and thyme and wine. Then she tossed the linguine in the scallops and sauce. I grated about a Cup of Jarlsberg cheese and poured glasses of Kirkland Pinot Grigio and Suzette plated the linguine and then a pile of scallops and sauce and then a handful of grated Jarlsberg and a dusting of grated Parmesan.

After dinner we watched Miss Fisher and then went over the trip itinerary. Then I heated and ate a bowl of cobbler with pear compote and watched Magreit, Gold, and Patience, which is a British imitation of Astrid and went to bed a bit after 11:00.

Bon Appetit
