The quiche are in the oven, the pumpkin pie is on deck. I've discovered I bake better w/ wine.............that is, drinking it, not using it. Well, at least I had more fun this year in baking them. We'll see what the jury says on Thursday. Let me tell you the story of the wine that put me in this state.
For the last eight years, I've been playing piano in the Northwest Iowa Jazz Band. I had taken this year off until I got a phone call last night from the band's leader, Steve. The concert, scheduled for last night, had to be re-scheduled for tonight due to icy roads. The new pianist, however, couldn't make it so Steve asked if I could fill in. Of course I said, "Yes," as long as he could get me the music sometime before the concert. He brought it over last night...........w/ a bottle of wine to sweeten the deal. A bottle that just-so happens to be made locally by the director of the jazz band.
The concert went very well tonight, and after the concert one of my former students and her new husband stopped by......largely due to the promise of wine. But they had traveled from South Carolina so they deserved it. The wine was opened; we talked; they left; I did my baking; and now I can't feel my teeth. What a wonderful night..........gotta check the quiche.
