Weekends at Červena are supposed to be relaxing, so we did not feel guilty about our leisurely morning. We went on a hike near the river shortly after lunch, but spent most of the day reading and talking. Jitka, of course, spent much of the day cooking. Breakfast was a typical spread of meats, cheeses, pate, home-made jam, yogurts, and juice and tea. Lunch on the other hand, was a delicious chicken-almond-pineapple stir-fry with rice and salad.
After our hike, Ales built a fire in the yard and we hauled out the marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolates to make s’mores. They were good, but not great, since the chocolate was a bit thick and did not really melt. On the other hand, they were only slightly messy and a lot of fun. Amazingly, only a few hours later we rallied for a full-course dinner, this time with French onion soup and a stuffed-beef roll. Tonight’s wines were an interesting white and the Chilean red that we had brought.
