something i learned from realsimple.com today: how to pair wines with your food!

Barbecued seafood: Riesling
Tomato dishes: Sauvignon or Fume Blanc
Clambake: Chardonnay
Salad supper: Pinot Noir
Baked salmon: Merlot
Burgers: Cabernet Sauvignon

riesling is okay ... but i'm starting with pinot grigio and working my way up.

went "surfing" with eric chen and sinclair today. i say "surfing" because none of us caught a thing. i don't like cowells. it's ugly and crowded and weedy. AND ... there was a SHARK swimming circles around me the whole time i was in the water. it wasn't a big shark (a food and half, maybe?) but it was a FRICKING SHARK all the same. no way i'm going back there. i'd rather eat dirt in pacifica.
