lisac957 - 2012-09-26 10:32 AM Cheri whats up with the Captain?

All is well, continue to date.  Finally after a year of dating, we are starting to talk about the "bigger picture stuff".  Seeing him 2 days a week and one weekend a month for travel.  Going to Napa valley next weekend, bucket list item for me. 

We obviousily are not in a rush, both having been married, have kids and are done having kids, and see no real moves or options for relocating for 2-4 years.  FOR today it works?!?

 

 

Was in Napa on Monday! Silver Oak is a must stop. Mondavi was beautiful. Many aren't open; was saddened that Opus One was not open to the public Copolla in Sonoma county was terrific! His 5 oscars and the envelopes from the ceremony are on display as is the Godfather's desk. The pool and cobanas looked great; you may have to reserve those ahead?

Staying in SF, and going to Napa all day on Saturday and staying in a BB and then back to SF.   And Siliver OAks was on the agenda, so YAY!!

Also visiting Artesa per my bosses affiliation and relationships there.

SUIT weather....guessing not??  Too cold for this chica

CERTAINLY suit weather! The pool at Copolla was beautiful! Silver Oak had a real party type atmosphere. Everyone laughing, socializing and having a good time! Mondavi is like mecca for winos. It lived up to the hype for me. Just put pictures up in my albums for you.

OMG, I cant wait!  It will be lots of fun and copious amount of wine. 

You know i only put my SUIT on if it is above 85 degrees.  84 is cold to me :-)

I was done with sales calls in Emeryville by 10;30. It's only an hour to the southern most vineyards (Stag's Leap). I totally loved Copolla: His wines are terrific anyway. The basic blended Rosso is a weekly in our house and under $10/bottle. The premium wines were terrific. I have 8 bottles total coming home with me. You're not buying these for a bargain either; they get their money. But you ARE buying some reserves and available only on-site. The 2006 Silver Oak should be a great bottle.

I was at Copolla in 2007 with 12 others as part of a motorcycle trip and after doing the tour and buying a couple of bottles of wine, we walked outside to the cafe area to see the man himself sitting there.  He was busy talking to someone, but took the time to say hello and ask what the heck we were doing visiting a winery on motorcycles as we couldn't TASTE any of his wines!  We told him that was why we bought some so that we could imbibe back at the hotel - he just smiled and said that would do.

I will ask the Captain if we can add Copolla to the list.

Let me kno wif you need someone to share the Silver Oaks with, I promise to not spit it out.

it's also delicious!  but gosh it takes a lot of food to fill up. 

I made the most awesome white fish(EVO/dill/lemon) and asparagus last night.  I ate it on a salad for lunch/brunch today. 

A couple of hard boiled eggs for breakfast, a handful of almonds and now lunch is turkey slices with avocado and a bit of mustard wrapped in lettuce leaves.  I'm going to be hungry again in about an hour. 

A ham sammich, an orange, and an apple for me.  I saved the apple for the last stage of starvation that comes at about 3:30.

Remember when you are in SF you will likely need some warmer clothes. Sounds like you have plenty of winery recommendations but if you do head to Sonoma I like Benziger which is just north of Sonoma itself.

We're hoping for good weather this weekend as we'll be out on the SF Bay on an 80ft schooner watching the moon rise on Sat evening. Should be fun!

Yes, Titan Tony Texter.

I have worked on knowing how much food I need to maintain weight.  It is not much food.  I eat oatmeal with raisins, nuts, and yogurt with OJ for breakfast.  A sandwich and two fruits for lunch.  meat and two vegetables for supper (and then a little wine).  These are in small portions. total calories per day on the order of 1500.  No sugary drinks, no snacks.  I hold pretty steady with that amount.  If I run for 35-40 minutes per day also, then I lose about 3/4 lb per week with this routine.

It is hard to get enough micro nutrients with the amount of food I eat for weight control.  I need to increase the exercise just to be able to eat a balanced diet.

i feel like (depending on your definition of small portions) there is no way that is 1500 calories, and i would be SO hungry eating only that in a day!!
