plunkybugAs I left for work this morning, I put in my copy of "All's Well That Ends Well" into my cd player even though I know fully well that my poor speakers can't handle the various layers of deep bass in some of the tracks, but I didn't care today. I just felt compelled to hear it. Oh, but how appropriate it was! It was a bit on the foggy side and, because of the holiday, the roads were very very empty. Driving through the silent and empty roads through the fog, and hearing Liz singing "eee-ahhh" (in that new ageish free form style of hers) in the opening track of the cd sent chills down my spine. It was an amazing moment.
Oh, and an update to last night's choice of alcohol with the truffles, we had the red wine. The shiraz. The wine was excellent, and the truffles were "oh my god!" delicious, practically orgasmic, but together? Uh uh. Not a good choice. In my opinion, the wine tasted positively bitter and awful after eating the chocolate, though Chas did not feel the same way as I did. I will reserve that for drinking and cooking. I should have known better than to pair a strong wine like shiraz with chocolate. I even got a flier in the mail recently (one that I actually did not request), going over some wine basics, I could have checked that, because I believe that there was something about pairing wine with desert and chocolate. Foolish me, foolish me. I guess we all learn some things the hard way, right?
Anyway...guess I ought to be going. I hope this call ends soon cuz I have a date with a bathroom when it is over.
Must stop ranting now.
