I’ve been know to forget to post for WIAW.
Last night I just couldn’t. Could. Not.
I decided it would be fun to pour wine at a new tasting room a few nights a week. One thing lead to another… and now I’m the interim manager.
This means I’ve been here EVERY day.
It’s a beautiful spot. I love the wine and the people I work with. However, we’re short staffed and I work every single shift, plus more for the admin stuff. In fact, I’m rushing to get this posted so I can go receive a giant wine delivery.
Plus… this election is draining me mentally and emotionally. These memes are giving me a smile though! Here’s one of my favorites (in case y’all could use some levity too).
If you’re in San Diego and you’re looking for me, come by Pali and have some wine! I really do love our wines. It’s a fabulous space! You can also check out my charcuterie below.
I’m exhausted. I haven’t even been to the gym in 2 days. You know it’s crazy when I miss workouts! So… I’m sorry this post is so late and so rushed.
Read on for my crazy-busy, and then link up to Jenn’s WIAW baby right here today!
Breakfast:
The usual morning cocktail followed by my vitamin gummies. I bet Vegas that she wouldn’t notice a difference if I changed up the apple cider vinegar I use in our morning cocktail (she was adamant that she’d be able to tell).
So I used this new ACV from Swanson. Vegas had NO clue. We both like it just as well as our usual Braggs!
I actually made a real breakfast! This has been a rarity, as I’m usually running out the door.

Lunch:
This isn’t an actual picture, because I was too busy. But this place is right down the street and I’ve been grabbing poke bowls for quick bite.

Dinner:
This is where my food gets sketchy. We have gorgeous charcuterie plates at work. I made the one below for customers.
What I ate was the scraps we can’t serve. And some wine.

I’m soooo ready for Thanksgiving.
Do you make charcuteries at home? I can’t wait to try my new skillz at home!
Are you an apple cider vinegar junkie like me?
It’s totally okay, gal! Sounds like you’ve had a stressful week. I think it’s been hard on all of us, honestly.
That meme totally cracks me up.
Thanks friend. It’s going t be a long 4 years. 🙁
Love that you fell into that gig!
The Biden memes might be the only good thing to come out of this election. I adore them.
They’re the only thing giving me laughs about this whole mess. Oy.
Definitely the wrong season. They were fine, but would have been better with sweeter berries.
Wow this looks like a fun job! I’m not so much a wine gal, but I could go for the cheese and bread!
I’d love to walk you through a tasting. It really helps to appreciate the differences in flavors and regions. It’s fun to understand more of the science and terroir behind it. And cheese makes it all even better. 😉
You get to drink wine and eat the charcuterie scraps…Dream Job!
I love the Obama Biden memes. They’re fantastic and offer some much needed levity.
Truth! Come visit again so I can give you a tasting!!!
Well, at least you are covered for dealing with the political stuff…. I loved working at the wine bar in Virginia. I am super jealous.
And the Papa Joe Biden memes are everything.
XoXOXOOXOXOXOOX I’ll send you a gif later 😀
Hey if I were going to fall into any sort o job, I sure would hope it involves wine and charcuterie! Take care of yourself…. Blog comes after your personal health and sanity!
That’s the truth! You can’t really have a bad day when surrounded by good wine.
I’m a Braggs Apple Cider girl, but I’ll check out Swanson, it’s always good to switch things up. Your egg white scramble looks delicious Laura. I don’t eat meat, but this charcuterie board sure does look tempting.
I have to admit… I was skeptical at first but I really loved their ACV!
And we have a cheese only board that I know you’d love!
That poke bowl looks so freaking good. Also, I want your job.
Come visit any time!
Sometimes I just can’t, and I let myself not, otherwise I will hate something I actually love.
EXACTLY! Perfect summary.
Still have not tried a poke bowl yet! I have too!!!
You totally have to! They never get old!
I have been following your blog for awhile and I LOVE that you have a new gig- It’s so refreshing that we can get out of our boxes and have the ability to try something else- kind of going through that myself right now! Love your cheese and meat plates!
Thank you!!! I hope all works out well for you too!
Oooooh your new job sounds so exciting! If I was local I would defintiely be down there to check it out! We are heading back down south to the Margaret River wine region again on the 12th of December and I can’t wait! So many wineries, good food and amazing walks and hikes. Combine that with the best beaches… What more could you want!
I’m so jealous! I ‘d love to get out there to taste some wines… one day!
I can’t wait to cook with you! So much fun being in the Kitchen together!!!
See you soon!
2 more days!!! xoxoxo
Look at you working woman!!! I love it! So wish I could “swing” by for some charcuterie and lots of wine. After the election I could use it on the daily 🙂
Love that meme…and pretty much all of the ones you post!
HA! It’s very different that my usual work from home, but so fun. I wish you could swing by too! Do a San Diego race!!!
Sounds like such a fun job, but I hope it gets less stressful soon! And wine and charcuterie is probably one of my favorite dinners 😉
OMG, lucky customers – dinner looks amazing!
Thank you! It really is an amazing charcuterie!
Charcuterie and wine is possibly the best thing ever. Sounds like your job is a lot of fun!
your new job sounds exciting! I always get sucked into taking on more than I expected too.
Thanks! I hope you get out here one day to check it out!
Wow! You have a new job, too cool! Hopefully, you will get a little break soon, but it looks like your healthy eating game hasn’t been sacrificed! I love Swanson and need to order from them again soon. Their name brand Sunflower Seed Butter is great too, just an FYI! 🙂
I’m trying… it’s all about balance! Swanson is the jam. I need to check out their sun butter!
OMG talk about dream job! That’s amazing. And those Obama Biden memes never fail to make me laugh. Thank god something does during this freaking nightmare!
Nightmare is right. Thank god for wine! And memes.
you have the best side jobs. Can i come be your side wine pourer?
I’d hire you in an instant, brother!
I’m definitely coming to visit you at Pali soon! Will text you to see when you’re working, probably the week after next…maybe by then you won’t be feeling so overwhelmed & overworked! Hey, at least you get to drink wine on the job! 😉
I think you’d really like the wines. There’s a super oak-y Sauv that has your name on it!
I love you!!! <3 You would end up accidentally managing a wine bar. Hang in there. Things are scary and I don't know if they're going to get less scary. We can hope, and take action!
PS Biden memes basically saved the day.
Right?! Life is so funny. Come visit!!!
the job sounds like a wonderful opportunity! (time consuming though it may be.) sorry about all of the extra hours but i hopw you enjoy it! now get to the gym and make it count 😉
It is really a lot of fun. I love getting to educate others about something I love so much.
Buy the place, hire me. I can make Swiss charcuterie plates!
