Suggested wine pairing: Negroamaro.

 

UPDATE

I wasn’t able to get much done last week because I had, and am still recovering from, an elective surgery (yes, that one; I added fingers to my upper jaw so I can adjust my glasses hands-free. [In related surgery news, they don’t actually “snip” anything. It’s some kind of heat element.]). I also completely forgot about the Kentucky Derby because my mind was focused on, you know, that.

I’ve got five horses done as of 10:23pm, May 5, so we’re probably looking at a…Thursday? Look, it’s a really weird procedure to deal with.
