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.
This weekend struck me as one where I should dig in the dirt and read books under the trees while winds blow pollen in my face. The pollen is so thick right now my car has a gross shade of yellow/orange dusting the top. It is impossible to keep my car clean for any length of time. Once I got inside I opened a bottle of the white bordeaux which is a blend of sauvignon blanc and semillion. With flavors of citrus and gooseberry shining through it goes especially well with seafood.
2011 is here, are you ready? Just because the decorations are put away doesn't mean the last bottle of bubbly needs to be. Clams over linguine is one of my favorite pasta dishes to make and this time I used Freixenet in place of white wine.
Time off during the holidays has to be my favorite part of Christmas. The weather here is ideal for outdoor activities in the winter. After I had my arse handed to me on the court I called a rematch next week. Racquetball is more my thing and I knew I was being setup.
