Yup. I got laid off at the quarry and I had to be able to feed Wilma and the kids, so I slaughtered my backhoe.

I had to check my calendar to see if it was March 14th already
Looks like Date Night at Chez Tex.
Thursday: coho salmon on the grill with grilled asparagus and grilled sweet potatoes. Finished the asparagus with my favorite balsamic and truffle salt.
2004 Roar SLH Pinot
2000 Martinelli Reserve Pinot
2004 Martinelli Moonshine Pinot
The 2004 Martinelli was very odd. And while I’d like to say an off bottle, I think the style of Martinelli is changing, and not for the better. It was a big, bold, bourbony pinot. I threw it into the decanter and it didn’t change. 1/2 the decanter sitting on the counter to revisit today or Saturday.
The 2000 Martinelli, in contrast, was beautiful pinot, exactly what you want.
No clue on the rest of the weekend but no doubt grilling every night. I’m saving some Flannery for next weekend when my local Flannery eating buddies are back in the country. Right now they are jumping out of airplanes, saving the good guys , killing the bad guys and enjoying beautiful Afganistan.
You should see Mike eat an entire Porterhouse.
Menage Brah is the correct terminology
Now that I see who is attending this dinner… I’m REALLY glad it isnt March 14
Fri: Burritos made from leftovers
Sat: Kraft Macaroni & Cheese with bacon bits
Sun: Casserole of left over burrritos and KMC with extra cheese
Going to go pick the appropriate wines now.
Sounds tasty…is this the one with the cheese in the silver pouch?
