2/20–lazy fridays

I probably spend far too much time on my couch—but I love it.  I am afraid what would happen if I got a really really nice couch.  Thankfully, that will not be happening for some time to come.  Last night I went straight to the wine shop after work….got some good bread, good cheese, and a couple bottles of wine.  I then curled up on the couch—devoured the bread and cheese (shhh…don’t tell my trainer b/c it wasn’t a workout day!) and enjoyed some wine while watching Gossip Girl and then Grand Budapest Hotel.   The pup was curled up or sprawled out beside me the whole time and it was perfect and relaxing.  Exactly what it needed to be.  I didn’t drink so much that I couldn’t get up and run this morning but just enough to relax and enjoy the evening.   I’m also really excited because I got one of those electric wine bottle openers from my uncle and I got to use it last night.  Yeah to small pleasures!   So thank you wine, cheese, bad tv, and good movies—and the pup of course.

Faubourg wines.  That’s what I am thankful for. I love wine.  I love this wine shop.  I can get a bottle, a glass, some cheese, I can bring my dog, I can get food sometimes.  The owner is awesome.  The employees are awesome.  It’s all just awesome.  They have wine and cheese classes there every few months.  They are always fun.  And you actually get decent servings of both wine and cheese.  Not those poor excuses for a cheese serving or a spittle of wine.  Plus you learn shit and have fun.  Oh and since I am always freezing…it is so great that it is always the perfect temp in there.  Seriously:  best place ever.  Did I mention that they’ll deliver.  They are only 8 blocks from my house, maybe 10…but either way, walking distance.  I only ever ordered wine from them once and that was just because I could….I much rather would go there.

Darcy and I went tonight and Four Calendar Cafe was cooking.  I have never had the chance to be there when they were cooking.  I was hesitant on the dish I ordered b/c it had beets but I went with it anyway…..I hate beets.  I can’t find anything redeeming about them.  Despite that, this dish was fucking delicious. It was a dumpling made entirely of farmers cheese surrounded by sauerkraut and beets….but the sauerkraut totally drowned out the beets and it was perfection.  Seriously so good.  Tonight was a spur of the moment—I want a glass of wine!  Come drink with me and it was all things great.
