    Your favorite sparkler?

    My faves are: Roederer Estates NV Gruet Blanc de Blancs Korbel Sec
  2. The salmon and the cheese and crackers look good!
  3. I loved that book. I'm currently perusing "Consider the Fork: A History of How we Cook and Eat" by Bee Wilson.
  4. Adding heavy cream will tame the heat
  5. I no longer have this problem due to age, but in the past it was all about Champagne, chocolate, and potato chips, popcorn or anything salty.
  6. We're doing this: Roast chicken Deviled eggs Candied yams Cornbread dressing Gravy Mashed potatoes Whole cranberry sauce from a can Korbel and Beaujolais to drink
  7. Welcome!! I envy your living in France!

    Lunch in an Argentinian restaurant in Monterrey, Mexico. Very large beef....
  9. Greetings from Santiago, Mexico (near Monterrey) Day of the Dead display.
  10. Thanks! I'll be sure not to leave them in too long.
  11. I crack them on a flat surface, and ocassionally end up with a mess if I crack harder than is needed.
  12. Newbie question: Can you put pizza dough in the freezer for use later?

    I just roasted a chicken on Saturday and forgot to take a picture....It's chicken salad now!
  15. Interesting. Perhaps the servers have an unconscious idea that men want extra food/sauce. They might not even realize they're doing it.
  16. I recently had my first gout attack (ouch!) and was looking at gout cookbooks on Amazon. I wondered if anyone here was similarly afflicted and had recommendations. There were so many I couldn't decide between them!
  17. Miracle Whip is fine by me. I combine it with ketchup on burgers. I never put ketchup on eggs, it kills the delicate flavor.
  18. Does anyone know what the "fake" burger is made of? I have gout and have to avoid things like dried beans etc.

    Dinner 2019

    Pork ribs and mashed potatoes
  22. I share your ire at can openers. The electric ones either don't work, or stop working and it's hard to find a good hand-held one.
  23. At the very least, it means more pesticides on/in our foods, and that can't be good.
  24. For any others headed to Colorado Springs, I'm here visiting, and found this gem: http://www.tapateria.com/ Spanish tapas and a (relatively) inexpensive wine list with LOTS of choices,
