My last alone meal, salad with grilled filet mignon, sun-warmed tomatoes, eggs, fresh-killed lettuce, onions, celery, slivered broccoli stems, and blue cheese dressing. I usually do this with chicken breasts but didn’t have any in the freezer and found a small end piece of filet so I used that.

And yes, there are ice cubes (and sugar) in the wine; homemade wine is super strong and it was still a bit too harsh for my tastes. It’s also a bit cloudy–but that was the last bottle siphoned off that I left open for immediate use. And since I’m the only one here…
