Anybody out there?

It's too quiet!  Nobody on my flist has posted in HOURS!  (or LJ is hiding things from me, which isn't out of the question, I suppose.)

So, I'll talk about food.  :-)

Last night we had our (now traditional) Rosemary, Lemon Zest and Parmesan popcorn while we watched the season finale of Atlantis.  It's so good that we try to restrain ourselves by only having it on special occasions, like a season finale or premiere, or when we have a movie to watch (which is something rare for us.)

And, because every so often we actually PLAN our meals, tonight we used up the rest of the rosemary and the juice of the two naked lemons.  We had roasted, quartered potatoes with rosemary, garlic, sea salt and fresh ground black pepper.  And I made bone-in chicken thighs with a glaze of honey, lemon juice and rosemary, with a tiny bit of cayenne pepper (about half what the recipe called for, because I am a wuss.)

Both nights we killed a bottle of Sutter Home Chenin Blanc, and it was especially good with tonight's chicken.  This has become our house white, because it's cheap and food friendly.  Only about $3.69 a bottle!  A bit sweeter than, say, a Chardonnay.  The last sips, after the wine has warmed a bit, are full of pear-like flavors.  Eminently quaffable.  :-)

Split pea soup with bacon bits, crackers and goat cheese. And there's vanilla ice cream for dessert. I'm on my own tonight, so no pizza/SG-1 partying allowed. :-)

Oh, burn! :-)

Hubby's a meanie! Makin' you wait like that!

But the split pea soup sounds good. I have no idea what we're having. Maybe macaroni & cheese and Ranch Style beans.

I'm not married. But my brother is, and I rent from them and have my own 2-story wing at the back of the house. When I say "we", I usually mean my SIL, who is my scifi, cooking, wine and cocktail buddy. :-)

DOH! I'd forgotten.

Then she's a meanie. :-)
