Why's the wine always gone?

Seriously! Before Christmas I had a full wine rack with a dozen bottles on it (plus one chilling in the fridge). Despite acquiring more as presents, now that the family have departed, I'm down to three (and that's only because I picked up a couple more at Sainsbury's yesterday). Still, lots of really nice bottles, and we even tried to match wines to food, in a vague way - mostly going by what it said on the back of the bottles (although the cassoulet merited the nice Chianti, on account of being the closest thing we ate to liver with fava beans...)

I'm definitely feeling rather fatter than I did ten days ago, but all the left-overs are going to get somewhat in the way of starting any serious dieting for at least another week or so. On the plus side, most of my cooking in that time will involve pulling a tupper out of the freezer and reheating its contents - possibly in one of my shiny new saucepans, but most likely in the microwave. Lazy, moi?

Right. I'm off to Middle Earth for the rest of the day.

'Tis a terrible thing for one's weight, Christmas. My wine rack is so sad. It will take me a long time to fill it up with quality vintages again.

That seems to be how Christmas visits go. This time at least I was visiting my parents instead of the other way around, so we depleted their stash... *g*

I don't remember it being so bad in previous years, although that's probably on account of having had less, and less good wine.

Spring/autumn visits are better, as the parents drive over from France rather than flying, which mean that they bring lots of bottles with them. Sometimes I even have more bottles when they leave than when they arrive...
