Trout is one of my favorite fish to eat. The swiss chard at the market looked inviting so I wanted to try this combination out. I have a question about Swiss Chard, is this a vegetable the swiss came up with? It's not what I was expecting. It looks colorful but tastes nothing like chocolate. This recipe is also one that has so much texture it will give your mouth a work out. Look for the ingredients in February's Food and Wine Magazine.
There are more out-of-state boats this time of year than any other. Old teak boats with red leather means someone is refurbishing it every single year. I wonder if there is a bottle of wine stashed in the console? The upholstery beckons for a family with a dog to be cruising around on.
This is what I'm drinking tonight. Wente's mesoclimate contain descendants from the 19th century vines Charles Wetmore brought from Bordeaux. The thing I like about this wine is the tannic structure that lengthens as I drink it. Old vines with depth are wonderful to enjoy this time of year. I pay close attention to what the wine gods are telling me. Tonight I'm hearing a definite MAKE HAMBURGERS to pair with the cab. The only decision I'm left with is selecting my cheese preference.
Hope you have a great night!
It's been cold and I love to crank the oven with baked goods on these occasions. You know what else I like? Finding a few bananas on the counter past their point of eating natural. Also, save the peels for other plants that need a little food of their own. All the gooey goodness from the inside of these skins is going to be stuffed in bread.
I've not cooked this in a couple of months. It was Coda's favorite dish and she especially loved the linguine soaked noodles with lemon, wine, Italian parsley and capers. After spending the day hanging with the dogs I felt it was time. A cooking wine should not be expensive - I used a tropical Sauvignon Blanc with hints of grapefruit. My train of thought is it would complement the lemons.
Brooksville is hosting a dog show which gave me a great opportunity to check out some different breeds. I cannot lie, I'm partial to Dobie's and my heart is captured by them like none other.
The weather was 50 degrees and every now and then you'll see heavy canine coats to keep them warm between showings. Dobermans are one of 3 breeds that are judged by their number of teeth. The question of the day is: can anyone tell me what that number is for Dobermans? Or, can you tell me what the other 2 breeds are?
This time of year my breakfast changes from oatmeal and toppings to citrus instead. Winter here is superb.
Unless you live under a rock, most people are painfully aware of Tim Tebow that were not previously aware of his talent. Bronco fans, you're in for a treat! In my neck of the woods he's already a celebrity down here.
The Final Championship Bowl game tonight will not be as exciting. I'll likely be cooking dessert while the game plays in the background and offer Mr. Vine full control of the TV's remote. Every now and then I give him that. It makes us work.
