“Remoted” Workday 168 / Day 249 (Friday)

Surprisingly yummy.

This was the longest and most annoying Friday of the longest and most annoying week. The highlights, however, were stellar. Those were logging off today at 5:08 having survived, feeding the dogs, and pouring a glass of wine at 5:12. I don’t even know what the wine is. A few weeks ago, it arrived in a box with five other bottles and some glossy, fancy, expensive looking cards with glamorous vineyard images on one side and too many words and pre-printed lines to write "notes for the wine cellar" on the other side. It tastes nice. It’s red. 

The educational materials in the boxes of wine have not really helped. My online notes in the wine company site to help with future selections are usually along the line of “Tastes good” and “I would drink this again.” Apparently, I’m more interested in the drinking of the wine and less concerned with the fancy learning about wine part. 

Does this go with wine?

Supper was an inspired bowl of randomness with leftover Jasmine rice layered with roasted eggplant slices and roasted brussels sprouts, drizzled with maple syrup and balsamic vinegar. The smokiness of the roasted veggies with the syrup and the vinegar was even better than I imagined as I was putting it in the bowl. This was followed by leftover sweet potato fries heated in the toaster oven. And a single serve bag of Lay’s potato chips. 

The evening’s stress eating will likely continue with the broken Finnish chocolate bars that were “Crafted with Wonder in Finland,” and came to me via New Jersey, semi-crushed at the bottom of a box of vegetables. The tough (and hopefully only) choice for night is to which to have first.
