Who do you like to have that extra glass of a good wine with, and why?

August 28th, 2008

In the summer, I have lots of candidates for that "last glass", but in the winter, it tends to be one of two people–not sure why.
How about you? As usual, 10 points to the best answer. Thanks.

My cousin cause she is soo much fun. She lives next to this bar and everytime I visit her she would pull out a bottle of wine and a bar of cheese for the chaser. Weird I know but it's really good together. After we get a little buzz we would drive down to the bar just before it closes and calls out hey you and normally there would be a few guys out there and they would all look at each other and say who? me? then the most conceided one would walk up to the car and just before he makes it to the car we would say… NOT!! and drove off.. haha it always works everytime.. haha

 

Does anyone remember The First of the Summer Wine?

August 28th, 2008

It was filmed after The Last of the Summer Wine with different actors who portrayed the characters when they were young. I believe that Peter Sallis was cast as his own character's father, but no one I speak to seems to remember it.

What can I substitue for dry white wine in a marinade?

August 28th, 2008

I want to make sage pork chops and my marinade calls for dry white wine. I'm 19 and live alone so I need something that I can legally purchase at the store to use instead. Any ideas?

You can get non-alcoholic wine, or theres all kinds of cooking wines that anyone can buy. You could also use cooking sherry or lemon juice.

What type of drapes look good on a 120 inch window, couch is wine colored?

August 27th, 2008

We tried floral…..and it was just too much…because the size of this window…we even broke it up with winter white sheers….we just dont care for it. They go back to the store tomorrow. BTW the length is 84 inches.

try some pretty plain once, nothing to "busy" There could be a small pattern on them, but nothing to over the top. They normaly look good in any room. Pick colors that will go with the room.
Also long drapes always look nice

What kind of white wine would you use to cook mussels?

August 27th, 2008

I'm buying fresh mussels and I'm going to cook them in butter, onions, garlic and white wine, then serve them over linguine.

I am coming to your house, and I will bring the wine. My favorite to cook them in is chardonney, nice mild flavor, but I often use chablis. I also add fresh herbs, such as parsely, chives and basil. I am jeolous! I cant get them this time of year!
