I found a bottle of 1968 Barone Ricasoli Soave in my uncle's basement. I don't know much about wine, but from what I've read soave is best when under two years old. Any chance at all that something wonderful has happened to it in 39 years or shall I use it to kill weeds?
I've always bought whatever red wine vinegar was handy at the supermarket. Something tells me I should be a bit more discerning. Are there varying qualities of red wine vinegar? And what should I be looking for?
I bought some prosciutto ends last year and used them when I made beans. Just tossed a hunk in the bean pot, like you would a ham hock. Do not add any salt though. :)
I have a Sanyo 10-cup and haven't regretted the purchase either. I think I paid less than $100 on Amazon. I eat way more grains than I ever did before and have made things I probably would have never tried without the ease of the cooker. For instance, I have found barley and love it. The timer feature is super - nothing's better coming home to a house that smells like jasmine rice.
The larger size was not significantly more expensive and it works as a steamer and slow cooker too.
I used my siphon to do a wasabi/cream foam on an amuse-bouche at a dinner party one night. Worked great and was super easy. The recipe was from the cookbook "Amuse-Bouche" by Rick Tramanto.

I grew up in Tacoma, Washington where Jeff Smith is from. He had a restaurant/deli/kitchen store across from our high school. Many of the kids at school (this is the late 70s) had jobs there and many of quit because of his abusive (to the girls) and predatory (to the boys) practices. Tacoma's dirty little secret became national news in 1997 and now there's no putting the genie back in the bottle.
His cookbooks have some great stuff in them, so read them - even buy them. At least his children and wife will benefit after having pit up with his bad - and often public - behavior for years. But let's not put him on a pedestal and let's not have to watch the creep on TV.
In the 70s, my mom clipped a recipe out of the newspaper for something called "Supper on a Breadslice" - a cheesy meatloaf baked on bread. Greasy, garish and deeeeeelish. That and asparagus finished with cheesecake and bing cherries. I'd eat with whoever could stand the music.
I adapted a recipe last year and came up with this delicious appetizer - or accidental meal if you can't stop eating them..
Line each cup of a mini-muffin pan with a thin round of pancetta. Stick a fig in each cup. Slice an X in the tops of each fig. Drizzle a few drops of balsamic vinegar in the X. Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes or until the pancetta is cooked. Cool and serve at room temperature. What they lack in beauty, they make up for in rich flavor.
Trader Joes; unique comestibles and I have a fondness for their peanut butter filled pretzel bites.
my favorite is the People's Food Co-op in Ann Arbor. best selection of locally grown and organically grown fruits, vegetables and meats.
I like trader joes, safeway and sprouts beacuse I like all the deals they all have
I like Publix even though it is too expensive for me to do my everyday shopping there. When I am in the mood to treat myself, I get me something from Publix Deli. It is the best! Plus they have the best cakes in their bakery.
I love Kroger simply because they have a great selection of organic foods.
My favorite grocery store would be Trader Joes, great prices, atmosphere, service & free samples. :)
H mart for Asian ingredients , fresh fish and Kulustyan's for exotic ethnic ingredients
I like Sentry Foods because of the double coupons.
Whole Foods because it is full of organic and bulk foods and health care.
