Alone at last. How often do I get a quiet house with no worries? I turn on some music as the sexy bluesy voice of Joss Stone plays throughout the apartment I slip into my little yoga shorts and a tank top. It's unseasonably warm for November and I'm not planning on leaving the house.
I'm gently swaying to the music singing along wildly out of key, not that the cat cares. My tummy grumbles so I head to the kitchen. Cooking is a passion that I don't take lightly. Finding the right partner within the dish is also a thrill. It's like finding spark of attraction between ingredients. You wonder will this merging be a tasteful explosion on your tongue or will this be a pizza delivery night.
As I shift through the kitchen on the hunt for my tangle of flavors this evening I reach for the wine. Long days and no time for yourself can be taxing. I pour half a glass of the rich red I have on hand. I lift the glass to my mouth and allow the liquid to pool on my tongue. The notes hit my tastebuds with a rush of excitement. Quickly taking another sip I know this night is just what I needed.
