I think both Mom and I take secret pleasure in finding grammatical errors in one another’s blog posts, so I couldn’t help but grin when I caught one in her latest post, about her European tour. She said this:
The four paired wines (none with the bellini) were perfectly matched to each course and complimented the flavors of the food.
(emphasis mine)
It would be impressive to see wine speak kindly about the food; I suspect Mom really meant the wine complemented the food, meaning it went well alongside it.
It’s pretty rare to catch Mom like this, so I have to revel in my moment. (Sorry, Mom!)
