1 olive ciabatta
herbed olive oil
parmegian reggiano

Dip ciabatta in oil then dip in parmegian.
Then you eat it.

Merlot.
You forgot the glass of Merlot to flush it down.

Only a glass?

You know you are becoming an old fart when a simple meal is "heaven"!

Old fart it is, then.
There's a certain luxury in being a retired old fart and running for office - no matter what, no one can take anything away from you unless you break the law.

Brag, brag, brag. I'll be retired when I'm put 6 feet under (or sprinkled somewhere lol)

I was just teasing. I find a lot of pleasure in luxurating with a simple, delicious meal. Moreso than when I was younger and scarfed down every meal like it was my last.
