Brussels sprouts with chestnuts and pearl onions
sweet potatoes
dinner rolls
grenache blanc, 2008; syrah sirah, 2006; Louis Preston
~
green salad with shallot vinaigrette
~
pumpkin pie with hard sauce
whisky or grappa

I peeled and decorticated the chestnuts yesterday while watching the news. The usual procedure: slit the shells, cover with water, bring to a boil, peel; return recalcitrant ones to the hot water; repeat until done.
Lindsey took care of the rest — what a woman! — except for the vinaigrette, made the usual way though with shallots instead of garlic. Oh well: I made dinner yesterday, and tomorrow we'll have leftovers.
