beet & goat cheese crostini


my fantasy football team couldn't be much worse.
seriously.

at this point i'm fighting for last place and the consolation/ loser bracket has my full and undivided attention.

ugh.  losing is the worst.

since football isn't going in my favour, my direction has now shifted and is diverted to snacks and wine.


specifically, beet & goat cheese crostinis paired with a glass of pinot grigo.
