So it's my b-day and I'm cooking...
Comments (8)NO, 17/18 IS the cut off for Aquarius and the start up for Pisces !! I'm "on the cusp" as they say ! I'm into water also, especially if it has fish in it !! Have you seen my 'baby' Den. Rainbow Dance ?? I'm trying SO hard to keep the blooms up for ONE more week !!! My two orchid club meets are next Sunday and Monday !! It's the "Den. Rainbow Dance (43 blooms and 5 buds)" posting. It was a keiki given me 2 years ago and this is its first bloom !! Chryss...See Moresorta cooking---wine selection
Comments (30)Chacun a son gout, Linda. Would anyone ever compare a Woodbridge Zinfandel with a premier grand cru? Of course not. I judge inexpensive wines on the lack of offensiveness. While I certainly don't expect greatness in this price range, I find it pleasant and drinkable; your mileage may vary. One problem with most red wines is that the finer ones do require aging to allow the tannins to become less astringent. Aging costs money, and a lot of reds are on the market before they reach their peak. A too-young red is often responsible for people saying, "I don't like red wine." On a related note, the man who introduced the Zinfandel grape to California was a colorful Hungarian immigrant named Agostin Harasthzy. He was the first Sheriff of San Diego. He died from being eaten by alligators in Nicaragua in 1869....See Morecooking wines (list style)
Comments (37)No "jessyf", you guys haven't scared me off. Yes, I am well aware that most red wines go with red meats, and most white wines go with white meats/fish/seafood. Yeah, I'm still new to cooking with wines, but most of the ones I've tried out so far have been really awful, with an exception of a few. Sure, I might have my own tastes, but hopefully this will help narrow it down a little bit... 1) Looking for a dry / sweet red wine which won't be too tannic/sour when reduced into a sauce for a red meat dish. Specifically Italian/French RED wines... 2) Looking for a more full body/flavored WHITE wine. I've been using only Riesling so far (because it works well). I mainly do chicken dishes, and rarely any SEAFOOD, because family members are allergic to those things. 3) I am NOT looking for a white wine for FISH, other than Salmon. I have a different way of cooking fish, and various kinds (ocean fish only)....See MoreCooking with wine to serve to a non drinker
Comments (28)The decision is made (and personally I think it was a good decision), but something else occurred to me reading this -- and I'm willing to risk embarrassment to have someone more logical than I am explain it to me. We were doing all this math about how much of the alcohol content burns off during cooking. OK, I'm with the logic on that one; the alchohol reduces due to an heat-induced evaporative process. Got it. Here's the part where I'm scratching my head. HOW is the alcohol content further reduced by dividing by the number of portions? If I have a bottle of wine that if 12% alcohol, then the single glass I have from it is also 12% alcohol and each sip of wine I take from that glass is at 12%. If I have a platter of Beef Burgundy (or whatever) that has a residual alchohol content of 3%, then the single portion on my plate is also at 3%, and each bite I take would be at 3%. Granted I will not consume the same AMOUNT of alchohol in one serving as opposed to the whole dish just as I wouldn't consume the same AMOUNT of alchohol in a glass as is in a bottle, but the percent stays the same. Or if it does not, someone please explain why not using non-technical terms. I'm setting aside the argument as to whether it's harmful or desirable and focusing on the math....See Moremamapinky0
