This morning, Bob, in order to redeem himself, awoke early to cook breakfast for us--his specialty--sausage gravy and biscuits. The man is a marvel--we had no cream, so he used the fat-free half and half that I use in my coffee. It wasn't thickening well, so he used Bisquick mix. It was wonderful. We had a hot pepper mix so it was spicy. Our entertainment during breakfast was the relating of the many events of Bob's "adventure" boating yesterday. He's such a good sport. After a fast cleanup and our bellies full, we were out on the first day of our adventure.
Our first stop was the Bartlett winery. We had a tasting, with very cheap pours (though what can I expect for free), we walked out with four bottles each. Lots of fun still ahead, obviously.
The Nautica Pub called to us as we were on the way home, so we stopped in to have a pint. The idiot bartender, who was very nice, forgot to order Heath's pizza and by the time he remembered, we were ready to leave, so it was canceled. Each of us had a beer and I had a piece of blueberry pie--great crust but cinnamon in the blueberries? Really?
Across the street from the pub, we saw a beautiful MGA--black convertible with a wicker picnic basket on the trunk. It was beautiful and I wanted to steal it. I wanted to sit in it, but I didn't have the nerve to ask the owners when they came out.
We sat around outside just looking at the water and drinking. It was so relaxing and beautiful.
Home again, home again. We had a delicious dinner of ziti, meatballs (Antoinette's) and sausages with ciabatta garlic bread, and tomato caprese salad. For dessert, we had strawberry shortcake (pound cake, ice cream, strawberries in sugar, and Cool Whip).
A game of Trivial Pursuit showed, once again, how much Bob knows and how much I don't. Antoinette and Bob's team won 21-18 over me and Heath. UGH! and I thought we were catching up.
