I am a sucker for roasted veges, especially parsnips, so I decided my solo dinner tonight was going to be a tasting platter of roasted seasonal vegetables, chicken and strawberries. . . Mmmmmmmm, now to find the perfect whisky to go with it!! #iliveinthebestrestaurant #yum #solodining #alittlebitofwhatyoufancy (at Edinburgh of the South) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFltYUog-lr/?igshid=fj7wq8cl8hlz

Enjoying a hearty breakfast before tackling the post-party tidy up. Orange juice, Earl Grey Tea, Havoc bacon, blueberries and French Toast made from homemade dairy-free brioche. This should do the trick! #youarewhatyoueat #eatyourcolours #earlgreyteahot #solodining #linennapkin #standards (at Edinburgh of the South) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDXJmdUJvvs/?igshid=1pf5y1w8x4ox1

I decided to support one of my favorite restaurants, fourteensixteen in LaGrange, by ordering for curbside pick up. There were two meals, so I will have the second one tomorrow night, featuring a chicken entree. For tonight, it was Smoked Trout appetizer, sides of Roasted Asparagus and Southern-Style Coleslaw, an entrée of Beef Wellington-Prime Striploin (Puff Pastry, Red Wine Reduction), and for dessert a Salted Candy Bar (Shortbread Cookie, Whipped Cream, Seasonal Berries). I bought a bottle of wine from the restaurant to go with the meal, a 2018 La Capranera Aglianico. #singledining #diningalone #datingmyself #diningsolo #solodining #tableforone #tableforoneplease #takingcareofme #grateful #lifeisgood #alonebutnotlonely #quarantine #takeout @1416lagrange (at Berwyn, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-QUNJqBZZr/?igshid=1mm9mabjy1qwq
