Wine with dinner?

[Witchdoktor]

I assume you learned female anatomical construction in school but do you need advice on what to do with it

 

[Spooled]

Good luck tonight!

Yes, they work fine.

You can put the green and red peppers with sliced mushrooms (4 slices per mushroom so they aren't too thin). White onions and garlic optional - I love them.

Put them all in a frying pan and saute' with a little olive oil and water to soften them up a little bit.

If you are cooking the sauce for a long time, you can put them in there raw.

Don't forget some basil and oregano. Not too much though.

I'd love to add mushrooms but I'm afraid shes not big on them. Thanks for the suggestions.

You can pick up the breassticks at most markets that sell fresh bread. They should be easy to find. Just pour a little extra virgin olive oil on a deep plate and add some oregano and/or basil.

And a little bit of paremesan too maybe.


Sweet, got this all down and planned out. Thanks guys.

I don't drink wine; I'll have a glass of milk.

I'm not sure what you said was really sarcastic in any way, but I did pick up on the humor, and I reciprocated likewise. I figured the addition of the smiley would help get my tone across. My apologies. (hi)

Check out the Concha Y Torro "Casillero Del Diablo" series of Chilean wines. Very drinkable reds. They have a great Merlot with some depth and complexity to it and also a reasonably non-tannic Cabernet available. Careful with Cabs and Shiraz/Syrah's as Cabs are unpleasant due to the tannin levels when they are less than 3 years old... if you have the money going in to the 1999 range isn't bad. But Columbia Crest Grand States Reserve Cabernet from 2001 and 2002 is decent..

For pasta... if you have the time (prep time is only about 20 minutes.. but cooking time is about 4 hours of slow simmer) make a pasta bolognese sauce and make it with a stragiht beef mixture rather than the more complex mixture of pork, veal, and beef. well worth the effort and even the most novice cook can make a FANTASTIC bolognese sauce that she'll love.

PM me if you want more info!

Damn Steve, good info there. I've only got about an hour or so to prepare all this stuff though, but that sauce sounds good.

 

[capnsavem]

make some herb chicken breast, and a nice bottle of chianti

 

[maltodextrin]

Hmm, maybe I could make some small chicken...thing... how would I do that? I've never cooked chicken before.

keep it simple. throw some herb seasoning on them and throw it in a pan w/ olive oil.

good times.

 

[Witchdoktor]

broil, bake, fry

being u don't have time to marinate it just throw it in the broiler/oven with some teryaki and herbs

 

[maltodextrin]

If I can get some small thing of chicken, I'll do that.

 

[tsunami]

just take the chicken and cut it up and sautee it with onions and garlic with some olive oil and a dash of red wine vinegar... add some course salt (fine salt is for the table course salt is for cooking) pepper and some fresh basil/oregano to taste... wiat until the chicken is almost done then add a can of chopped tomotoes with onions and peppers, add your fav can of pasta suace (not one with a lot of cheese) then add a can of garlic tomato paste and any other vegatables/shrooms you want and let it simmer for like 20 mins.... and i also recomend a good shiraz... not a big fan of wine till i started drinking that style... 12$ or so buys a very nice bottle at the grocery store..

 

[tsunami]

oh and pick up a box of brownies... prob the easiest dessert to make and its hella cheap... like 2 bucks for some ghiraldhi brand add your fav ice cream and whalla!!

Just remember.. no such thing as a good Chianti for under 20 bucks... kinda is a bummer... but once you have good Chianti you understand!


Yeah the bolognese sauce is awesome... you can find variations of it on www.epicurious.com I have my own variation from a book called "America's Test Kitchen" But good stuff..

One wine that is FANTASTIC but you'll have a hard time finding is a true RED zinfandel, not that blush crap! It is an incredible wine... but expect to pay 18-25 for a decent bottle of it... Look for a Paso Robles or Napa valley one.
