Today we were active and it was the first day I walked over 3000 steps.

I got up early and ate a pain au Chocolate as I watched the first 1/2 of Man City versus Liverpool. When Man City was up 2 to 0 at halftime at 6:30 I went back to bed and slept until 8:20.

At 9:30 we drove to Trader Joe’s where we bought Whole Wheat bread, Iberico cheese, seven bottles of wine and two bottles of cognac and several plants, including basil plants for the garden

We then drove to Total Wine where we bought a 12 pack of Negra Modelo, a 12 pack of Carlsberg and two bottles of Shielding scotch for Suzette.

On the way to Trader Joe’s I ate four fig newtons.

After Total Wine we drove to Smith’s where we bought bagels, milk, cream cheese, two salmon fillets, green beans, and shallots.

When we returned home Suzette whisked and fried an egg each and microwaved the two leftover trout cakes from last night’s dinner and we made trout sandwiches.

Then Luke and Suzette worked in the garden and I read and watched TV because I had walked through three stores.

At 3:00 Luke left for a yoga class and zsuzette and I drove to Vara to pick up our shipment of wine and the taste a flight of four sparkling wines that are all being made by Laurent.  We also tasted a Late Harvest Albariño from California that we liked very much, so we bought an extra bottle of it and an interesting whiskey with three different grain bases.

We sat at a table in the grove of trees. Our favorite sparking wine was the Silverhead Brut, although I liked the Silverhead Rose’.

At 5:00 when we returned home and heated plates of PPI Enchiladas and beans and ate a good dinner.

We watched Bill Maher at 6:00 and Have I got News for you at 7:00 and snacked on another square of enchiladas and some beans and I ate a couple of scoops of vanilla ice cream with Hershey’s chocolate syrup.

Then we watched Father Brown and when Death in Paradise began I made a snack of toast spread with peanut butter and honey and drank a cup of chai with it.

So today we did not cook, but ate lots of snacks and small meals.

Bon Appetit
