Well I was expecting friends for dinner but that got cancelled due to flu on both sides (I'm on the tail end of it thank goodness). I had already thawed shrimp and pork tenderloin so had to cook them. Had a large portion of Gambas al Ajillo for supper over a little rice, and will be having the same today since it has to be et! The pork tenderloin went in the slow cooker and has not even been tasted yet....
This year I've been gifted some amazing wines from all sides. I had a second bottle of the J Lohr Paso Robles cabernet which was pretty awesome to wash down my tasty shrimp. Still on the shelf is an Anciano tempranillo ten year old Spanish red, and a Chateauneuf du Pape (crazy expensive wine these days but an old favorite from back when... just love it!). That'll have to wait for flus to get better and blizzards to subside/be shoveled out.
Hope everyone enjoyed their last meal/first meal of the year and be well nourished in the year ahead.
