To Bed With No Dinner

Prompts = Sauce, State, Quintessential
I look over to make sure the soup is gently boiling while focusing on the onions caramelizing in the skillet; they’re approaching perfection. On another burner is the wine reduction sauce for the pork tenderloin. Speaking of wine, I’ve been helping myself to a table red while preparing this lovely meal (my “inspiration” bottle) while another, an expensive cabernet, is breathing.

I’m hot and tired, the kitchen is in a state of quintessential mess (there’s a mountain in my sink), and I’m tipsy from helping myself to that cab after the table red was gone.
Crap.
I’m going to bed.
