December 8, 2007 (Saturday): I'd a wonderful lunch at my favorite restaurant in the Japanese Association today, so I wanted to stay at home for dinner. I looked forward to having my favourite wine and some light food.
I picked Terres D'Orb Rouges, an award-winner at the 2007 Foire Exposition Brignoles which is reasonably priced, exudes a pleasant black currant bouquet, and is smooth and earthy...Somehow it smells like a Spanish wine. I prepared a salad with sprout (kaiware), sweet cherry tomatoes (Grace Cup brand), fresh wakame seaweed, and lettuce with a Japanese sesame dressing.
I also picked up my pan-crust tomato, zucchini and mushroom pizza and fresh egg taglialini at Gastronomia Da Paolo.

The pizza was still crispy when I reached home after a two-hour grocery shopping. Fresh spaghetti at Da Paolo is great - my all-time favorite is the spinach taglialini. I also love all the fresh sauces.

After hauling a loadful of laundry and grocery goods home, I started boiling the noodle, washing, draining and cutting up the veg.
It was great eating at home with warm candle lights, very delicious pasta and a vino companion. I need not bother about making-up, dressing, talking too much and so forth.
I think I will stay at home all day tomorrow - with probably a short shopping trip at tea-time. I haven't started my Christmas gift-shopping yet. I've only bought the wines.
