There are many wine experts, aka oenologists, who can tell you the right wine goes perfectly with all sorts of gourmet foods, such as filet mignon or sole meuniere. And you’d quite well to follow their advice.

What I Did While I Was Awake
Swedish meatballs
1) Woke up. I inhaled and exhaled. Repeated.
2) Got out of bed. Dragged a comb across my head.
3) Shuffled off to the kitchen.
4) Made egg nog. Mixed breadcrumbs with milk. Put both in fridge. Go me.
5) Cleaned the kitchen.
6) Spelled kitchen correctly
7) Stopped a range war.
8) Stopped a microwave war. Geez, people, chill out.
9) Wrapped presents.
10) Pondered the imponderable. Still don’t know how I did that. Just lucky, I guess.
11) Watched Number One Son and Number Two Son play video games for a while. Good to have the both of them home.
12) Decided not to write up a Christmas letter. Didn’t know how to explain why my great-great-great grandfather tried to conquer Europe.
12b) Took a nice relaxing bath. Read from my bath book, Mary’s Land.
13) Number One Son made a salad and helped a bit with making Swedish meatballs.
14) Cleaned the kitchen which had gotten messy again.
15) Ate dinner with the natives.
16) Contemplated Kepler’s Law of Planetary Motion.

18) Wrote this blog.
Behave yourselves.
