Piccata Again?

We had The Banker and Tina over for dinner Saturday night.  This was to celebrate The Banker becoming part of the 60+ club. They brought a bottle of Sodaro over to share.  Sodaro is the winery they took us to when we visited their Napa home.  I made chicken piccata.  I let them know that I was doing some research on my famous “chicken sushi” that I served the village years ago, in the pre-blog days. I came across my 12/01/08 blog, which told the tale of them coming over for dinner featuring – that’s right – chicken piccata.  I guess once every 14 years is OK.  The Sodaro was outstanding as was my wife’s almond torte.  The piccata? Ah, it was pretty good.

Sunday was a big football day for me to lose big on.  In my playoff pool I went with KC and SF for a double whammy.  I prepped for a day of watching by going to do an executive workout at the posh club.  I’ve referred to this as the tribathalon: hot tub soak, steam room and sauna.  I threw together a chili recipe we got from the NYT.  It has about 20 spices in it, as well as maple syrup, soy sauce and cider vinegar.  Sounds like a disaster, no?  Well, it came out pretty good.  We had the Hoteliers over for the game.  We were watching the AFC championship on tape delay when they arrived, so we told them not to tell us anything about the game.  With a couple minutes left in regulation, they ask how much time left.  I told them.  Then they asked, regulation or overtime?  I filled a container with chili and sent them back home.

Do any of you folks have a facialist? As I’ve mentioned before, I have a fascial stretch therapist, aka the personable trainer, but no facialist.  I’m in the market.  Let me know if you have any recommendations.

Per the last post, we had to head to Home Depot to return the defective potting bench.  We accomplished that task earlier this week.  My wife and I created a shared calendar about a year ago and it helps keep us organized, both for our social whirl as well as tasks we need to do.  I made sure we nailed down a time for HD by putting “return shitbox” on our calendar.
