I wish today was Sunday so I could call this post Sammie Sunday. But it’s not. If it were Sunday my race would be over and my nerves would be a lot more calm. Soon enough!
I had to bring dinner to work because I ended up staying late for the Port tasting. Port is a wonderful thing, and I truly do love it so I was excited for the tasting.
I had another sandwich for dinner. This time I took leftover feta and cranberry stuffed chicken and sliced it up. I had my sandwich on another Whole Grain Sandwich Thin. I topped the chicken with dates, spinach, and mushrooms.
This combination may sound odd, but it was totally great! Really great actually. I love making cool combination with my sandwiches, and I find the Sandwich thins to be the perfect size!
Here is the set up for the Port Tasting
We tasted tawny ports (both 10 year and 20 year), late bottle vintage port, a 2007 vintage cask sample, and a 1992 Colheita. A colheita is when the port in not vintage port, but a tawny port harvested in the indicated year and aged in wood for a minimum of 7 years. My favorites are usually tawny ports because I love the caramel cashew flavor they usually have. We tasted the ports with dates, Stilton Cheese, crackers, and walnuts. Just perfecto if you ask me. The combination of stilton and a ruby port is just out of this world. And of course I had to try the ports with a few pieces of the cheese, dates, and crackers.
I also had some pistachios.
I was a little snacky tonight wouldn’t you say? Well time to finish up the tasting and go home and relax. I will run 9 miles tomorrow…I will!!!
