We were just trying to have a nice relaxed evening last night. We had a couple of friends over for dinner, we'd made a lovely macaroni cheese with butternut squash, and we'd taken advantage of our bodegas's very reasonable two bottles of wine for 14$ deal.

The internet went into semi-meltdown at the proposition.
