Tempted by Cabernet

Had dinner with sister Jill tonight for her birthday, belated. Hubby was off doing a boys thing, so it was a great opportunity for us to hang out. Love Nectar. Some of my favorite food is a challenge these days, since I started really limited fermented foods (wine, cheese, vinegars, etc). Tonight was no exception, but hopefully the Nectar salad and shared apps won't be too damaging. What I didn't need, but really wanted, was the second glass of cab. What is it about wine in the summertime that turns me into a weeknight drinker?

On a completely unrelated note, last summer a friend introduced me to Mark Bittman's Tomato Jam, a savory and sweet tomato chutney. Its yummy with grilled chicken and pork, and is actually pretty darn tasty on a cracker. I made a batch last night, and it tastes like summer to me... give it a try.
