They had just about everything we were hoping to buy. We even bought a rotisserie chicken for dinner &#8211; I took it home and stuck it in the slow cooker to stay warm until dinner time. For dinner we had the chicken with some roasted garlic heads, and a brilliant salad that Kuniko made, with a lemon garlic cream dressing that knocked my socks off. With dinner I brought out a little indulgence &#8211; a 14 year old white Rioja. I had bought it as a present to myself when I recently got a summer bonus, and having no experience with aged white Rioja it was interesting to crack it open with dinner. I liked it &#8211; rich and intense with a nice apple and spice streak going through it. I don\u2019t know if it was worth what I paid for it, but sometimes it is fun to experience new things. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">The weekends are for us to eat what we like to eat, and really enjoy the dinner table. During the week we pretty much just eat healthy food &#8211; kimchi, tofu, cabbage salad, and other cold foods to battle the heat of the summer. So far the pattern has worked out pretty well for us &#8211; we\u2019ll be keeping it up!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past weekend was a nice one.
