Question of the Day: Frozen vegetables -- as good as fresh?
for baking, frozen berries are all right by me. i made a warm berry preserve to go with some maple french toast and used two bags of frozen strawberries from trader joe's. it tasted delicious and saved a lot of work in terms of washing, cutting, etc.
Cadbury Creme Egg Ice Creme
I also made olive oil gelato - recipe from Otto in NYC - and it was fantastic. Served it with strawberries and a little balsamic vinegar. It's in an entirely different league than most ice creams and not for everyone, but I loved it.
Wine: A Look at Corks and Screw Caps
On a recent trip to New Zealand we visited many of the wineries in the Marlborough region. Screw caps seemed to be the exception, not the rule, and when we asked someone why they cited three reasons:
1. The expense of importing cork to one of the far corners of the globe.
2. The relative young age of most NZ wineries compared with their European counterparts.
3. The great distance many NZ wines travel when imported to the US and elsewhere. Screwcaps prevent wine from going bad better than cork.
I'm not sure if all of these reasons hold water, but who was I to argue?
