Easy Entertaining

Fish with tomatoes and mushroomsI had an ultimate kitchen klutz moment this week.  One of my best friends was visiting from New Mexico.  I was really excited to see her, but I had a long day at work and I was kind of flustered.  I pulled together a last minute meal--cheese (my new favorite, pierre robert) to start, followed by a trio of fish roasted with tomatoes, mushrooms and parano cheese.  I decided to make rice to accompany the fish.  I just poured a delicious glass of Starry Night Zinfandel (another favorite) and indulged in a single sip.  I'm not certain about the exact sequence of events but somehow the rice jumped out of the cabinet, crashed into the cutting board on the counter, which flew into my glass of wine sending the glass and its precious contents onto the floor.  I was covered in wine and glass shards and ran upstairs to let my guest clean up the mess I made.  Martha Stewart beware; I truly am the most gracious host ever.
