no fava beans, but yes to the chianti
My friends and I were unable to find fava beans anywhere in the supermarket for our “The Silence of the Lambs” themed dinner tonight.
We found a nice chianti, though. In terms of dinner, we settled for green beans, butter beans, filet mignon and then some lovely rosemary bread which we dipped in olive oil with herbs. Mmmm. Tasty. Oh, and chocolate cake for dessert.
I just got back a few minutes ago since they live about 45-60 minutes away and the rain (that’s been falling non-stop since this morning and will apparently continue through tomorrow and most of Monday) made the drive a little longer. People just get stupid when the roads are wet. The hot-shot asshole drivers opt for the “I am indestructible!” attitude and do things like cut across four lanes of traffic to make their exit by slipping through the following distances between other cars at 75 mph with about 3 feet of “wiggle” room. Yeah. I honked at that guy. Stupidly, horribly dangerous. Then there are the other people (usually very young or very elderly) who feel that the only correct way to drive on a wet road is either very slowly or constantly hitting the brakes. ALSO dangerous.
Anyway… I am tired. The rain is falling. CourtTV has some interesting stuff on. In about an hour or two, it will changeover to informercials, so I’d better enjoy it now. Tomorrow is devoted to writing my last paper this semester… and until the fall. I am glad of it.
