Family Cheapskate


I stopped by Solo Vino on my way home from work tonight. When they asked if I needed help, I said, "I need an inexpensive red wine." They said, "We have just the thing," and pointed me to a display of Casa Solar Tempranillo 2004 Spanish red wine. $5.99.

"That's perfect," I said.

While the clerk was ringing up my four bottles she asked, "Are you cooking with the wine tonight?"

"No," I said. "My in-laws are in town."

No chilling, but plenty of songtracks in my head while I pour it. (My husband used to hum Huey Lewis's "Mother in Law" before my parents came a'callin.
