Just had a glass of Cabernet Franc, of 3 years. From the North East of Italy. Admirable balance. Wonderful perfumes. Subtle flavors. There is enough for dinner.
Waiting for the sauna to warm up. Then, to contrast the ugly weather, fireplace and yes, the weather is just right for it, roasting chestnuts (I might pop an half bottle of the real thing to interest BigGirl in the operation). Chicken Maroc style is slowly getting ready for dinner in the slow cooker on slow. Onions, sweet peppers, parsley, apricots, raisins, chickpeas and an arm long list of spices (cumin, cinnamon, mace, paprika, ginger and cayenne). I made preserved lemons for this dish. I will add one at the very end.
It is only November but there is a not unpleasant atmosphere of Yule festivities in the air. We are discussing which gift to buy for LittleDaughter.
