dinner report, just to torment dianora2:

Asian-style flounder fillet with steamed sweet corn and jasmine rice. A Willamette Valley pinot gris served with (not my choice, but quite enjoyable), and a dried strawberry tart for dessert, with a tawny port.

om nom nom. and the best part was that it took about ten minutes to prep and another ten to cook. Perfect not-stuck-in-kitchen meal.

Hey, my ordered-in whole wheat penne bolognese with garlic bread was quite yummy. :D Plus nutella chocolate chip banana cake from the local bakery for dessert.

Oh, gosh, I live in the Willamette Valley and probably know waaaaaay too much about the history of the wine industry here.

I'm not a big fan of Pinot Gris either . . . ahhhh, but the Pinot Noir. It's quite lovely.

When we've gone wine tasting, I can only make through two or three vineyards, and then I have to stop tasting--or I will get really dizzy--but just looking at the vineyards is such a peaceful experience.

I think I've finally learned how to pronounce "Willamette" properly. *grin* (hey, it's not obvious to those of us outside the area!).

Vineyards are really peaceful things, aren't they? Doing research for VINEART WAR, I'd sit down to sketch out details of a field, and find that my tension would start to leech away, the longer I sat there....
