Cabernet Frenzy Wines

I've been really up and down and all over the place this weekend. After a good day on Friday, the evening was a bit flat. We made a yummy lamb salad for dinner, and then made the duck rillettes for Cabernet Frenzy on Saturday night. They were actually really easy to make (we cheated and started with bought duck confit instead of making our own), and we served them on crostini with orange marmalade. They turned out really well!

On Saturday morning I got up and smashed the Tribute to my 20s SSS. I worked hard and it felt really good. I was a little surprised at how quickly I did it (~35mins) and would have done something else on top normally but didn't want to be too sore for my trail run on Sunday.

Cabernet Frenzy was awesome on Saturday night. The gang all got together and blind tasted some amazing Cabernet varieties. I'm so stoked that our wine won! Go Takatu! It was from a vineyard Greg and I stayed at when we were first going out, and we enjoyed it so much then that we bought a case. We hadn't tasted it for quite some time, so was exciting to have it still be so good, and be liked by so many. I ended up drinking quite a bit, but was fairly good with the eating, and didn't even taste the dessert.

Sunday morning I was hung over, but made myself get up for my run. It was such a miserable day too, but I'd committed and there was no way I was staying in bed. I'm super glad I did go too, as I beat my time from the last one, ending up 4th female in the 6.5km and won a pair of running shoes! I started out a little slow, but felt so strong for the last bit. I'm looking forward to the next one, but it's a bit longer - 10km.

The rest of Sunday was pretty much a write-off. I got home and showered then made eggs and baked beans for breakfast, then pretty much didn't move off the couch for the whole day. Greg was super hung over too, and it was so miserable outside. We watched 3 or 4 movies, ordered pizza for lunch, and then also ordered Vietnamese for dinner. So useless! I ate way too much and felt so gross last night and this morning. So stupid. We so should have gone to the supermarket and got set up for the week, and cooked dinner last night. Or we probably didn't even need to eat after so much pizza. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb!!

I was so tired this morning, and it was really hard to get out of bed. Was feeling so gloomy. It definitely didn't help that the weather outside is so gloomy too! Feeling a little better now after writing this, and also going through some of the forums. Always feels better to get back on track and start being good. Supermarket this afternoon, then cook dinner, then hopefully driving range. I'm looking forward to eating healthy for the rest of the week, and getting back into my exercise with Shockwave tomorrow.

Cabernet Frenzy Results: Takatu is the clear winner!
