Wigs and Risotto

Today, I went to a Cancer Society session called, Look Good, Feel Better. It was basically a makeup tutorial, and I admit, it was fun. We each got a fully stocked makeup kit with foundation, blush, eyeshadow, the works. An aesthetician showed us how to apply makeup and fill in those parts of missing eyebrows and eyelashes and work to even out our chemo-induced blotchy skin tone. After the makeup session we saw some examples of scarf tying. Then came the wigs. The other instructor had a bag of wigs from the Cancer Society. I had been resistant to the idea of a wig, but I figured, what the Hell. I tried on a few and one was worse than the next. But finally one looked decent. So I took it home. I surprised a Jerry with it by having it on when he got home, and he is kinda lukewarm about it as well. But felt beret season will soon be over, and every day can’t be Emma Gonzalez day, so maybe I will wear it at some point. And tonight was spicy chicken sausage wild mushroom risotto night. I had been thinking about a bottle of wine— Vas Felix— a Cabernet from Australia that has been sitting in the cellar for a while and it sent a Jerry to fetch it. It went very well with the risotto and after some air it was lovely. More old world than new with some lively tannins. And the risotto was heavenly. Making food like this keeps me from worrying about eating enough, that’s for sure!
