Dinner: Lemon-Rosemary Marinated Chicken Breast. Lemon Scented Green Beans with Walnuts and Pecorino Cheese. Corn on the Cob. Russian Jack Sauvignon Blanc. I needed that wine more than anything tonight. While I was prepping dinner I dug into some hummus and carrots. The hummus had a few little pinkish spots that I scraped away and [...]
