Once I first met my now-husband, he was a single father to a pre-teen lad.
It was in the summertime and he was new to being the only father or mother.
He cooked on the barbecue grill and he made salads.
They really ate very effectively – solely had the occasional frozen pizza.
His 2 specialties had been steak and Caesar Salad.
It was solely logical to prepare dinner further steak and toss it into the salad the subsequent evening.
Then I got here alongside.
Horrors! I made pasta salads. I additionally began slicing the steak into strips and stir-frying it. I used to be already doing the mushrooms….
And the remainder, as they are saying, is historical past.

A couple of extra pictures from our winery tour….
That is the again of the chateau.
They made a stunning courtyard space which is the place our tour began… with a glass of their glowing wine.
From there we went out into the precise winery, meandering by the grapes.
Sadly, as a result of June was cool and damp, they, together with the opposite vineyards within the space, misplaced about 70% of their merlot grapes, which is the predominant purple wine grape within the space. Now we’re having a dry warmth wave, which the grapes like if it’s not too lengthy and scorching.
The white wine grapes, which we had been in, are doing nice!
There have been gardeners working caring for the paths and flowers.
The property was pretty, the wines had been good, and it’s wonderful to see the quantity of labor and danger that go into all of it.
