Dead Like Me started its second season last Sunday and it was pretty good. I really like this show, but I think they spend too much time on George’s family. I guess I don’t see what they really have to do with George’s development as an un-dead person.
Yesterday we got a wine club shipment from the Charles Krug winery. One of the bottles was a Pinot Noir and we had that one for dinner. They only charge about $15 or so for wine club members and to be honest, it tasted like a $15 bottle of wine. It was ordinary at best. I have much higher hopes for the other bottle. I think it was a 1999 Merlot and that one should be pretty good. You can find decent bottles of wine for $15 and under, but this wasn’t one of them.
I’ve been getting frustrated trying to find stuff in our pantry so I think we’re going to put some shelves in the bar area and store things like Rice-a-roni, chips, can goods, and so on. That should make those things easier to find and free up some space so I can find the pots and pans I need.
Every once in a while Janet will bring up petfinder.com and take a look at the list of available Groenendaels. That’s where we got Lisa. Now I tell Sammi and Jake don’t misbehave, because their mother has a replacement in mind. I’m a cruel doggy-daddy. I wouldn’t mind taking in Belgian Sheepdog/Groenendael rescue dogs but we just don’t have the room.
While rummaging through the panty I came across a couple of marinades that I had forgotten that we bought at the Concannon winery in Livermore. I think I’ll pick up a tri tip and marinate it overnight in one of them this weekend.
There’s a wine tasting thing in San Jose this weekend. I think it’s 10 bucks to get in, refundable if you buy something. I think we’ll go and take a look at what they’ve got from South America. We’ve been really impressed with Chilean wines we’ve picked up at Costco. We have one on the shelf from Argentina that we’re looking forward to trying as well.
Stumble it!
