Aging Wine
@VerasTastyFreeze:
It depends on the wine. A bottle of Svenska White from the Finger Lakes won't last very long. A good German riesling can last 25 years easy. Some vintages of Chateau d'Yquem are still going strong at 100+ years.
Cambridge, MA: Oleana's Incredible Baked Alaska
How thick is the layer of meringue?
Aging Wine
It will be a few years before anything age-worthy from the year of your marriage will be bottled, so you have time to plan.
Can it be something from New England? - No.
California? - Yes, but...
...if you like like sweeter whites, your best bet will be a German auslese riesling or a Sauternes. Check out the wine reviews in any of the wine magazines. They will give you an idea of how long you can age the wine. You want to keep the temperature constant at around 55 deg. F. A corner in an unheated basement would be just fine.

Win Pop Chart Lab's "Constitutions of Classic Cocktails" Poster
No more orange liquer. Paring the ingredients down to just tequila, lime and agave nectar has re-ignited my interest in margaritas.
10 Lbs of Sugar
A bag of sugar would last me years if not for my hummingbird feeder. I've really cut back on bread, so I probably go through a kg of flour per month these days.
Poll: Pizza vs Wings Super Bowl SnackDown
I was sick in bed. I had two slices of toast yesterday. This was supposed to be an "everything gets cooked in the depp fryer" weekend.
Any non-soup suggestions for leek?
Poach them and chill. Slice them down the middle and serve with a dijon vinaigrette with capers, olive, oil-packed sundried tomatoes and diced hard boiled egg.
Have you ever lost your cooking mojo?
I lost mine a couple of years ago. Turns out it had fallen behind the stove. We found it when we demo'd the old kitchen for our house renovation.
What's Your Drunk Pizza of Choice?
Monopole Pizza, Plattsburgh, NY. It was a cheesy, thick crust square pie. I would always wait for a corner piece.
Challenge: Post Your Best Wing Recipe.
@tac:
Those sound good - I love habanero. When I stray from the classic recipe, I make Dinosaur BBQ inspired wings:
Dry rub
Smoke for 3 hrs over hickory
Grill over charcoal finishing with habanero bbq sauce (Dinosaur's Wango Tango is good and convenient).
Children's Book Giveaway: 'Chopsticks'
Wooden spatula
How long can I keep a dead lobster in the fridge?
Are you sure it's dead? Perhaps it's just pining for the fjords.
What are YOUR Game Day Sandwich Choices?
My preferences are:
Chili
Wings
Meatballs and sauce and crusty batards w/ butter
Hoagies
Pizza
Pasta salad
Settling for less...?
I'll settle for takeout a few times a month. It's nice to not have to cook sometimes.
Challenge: Post Your Best Wing Recipe.
Deep fry wings.
Toss in a mixture of Frank's and melted butter.
Serve with blue cheese dressing and celery.
The Vegan Experience, Day 6: Calorie Control
Ignore that last post. I fat-fingered it (I wish we had edit capabilities). Here's what I meant to post:
@mollyjade:
I've lived in dairy communities most of my life and I've never seen intensive farming. Although, it's possible in winter cows spending more time in the barn eating hay or corn might be considered intensive. Personally, I'd rather spend my winter nights in the barn than in the pasture.
I'd be curious to see the actual numbers. Perhaps that's a pitfall of buying milk at Walmart. "Most" does not necessarily mean a "vast majority". I can tell you that in the communities I've lived in, the vast majority of milk comes from family farms that rely on pasture raised cows. Feed requires labor, fuel, and equipment. Maximizing the amount of time in the pasture makes economic sense for the family farmer.

The Vegan Experience, Day 6: Calorie Control
"While we have an image of dairy cows chewing cud in a field, the vast majority of dairy cows are raised in confinement."
WHAT???!!!!! Where do you live? Obviously, nowhere a dairy farm.
The Vegan Experience, Day 6: Calorie Control
You've mentioned a couple of times that you didn't eat a lot of meat to begin with. Personally, I eat meat a few times a week (less than 1 lb/wk). While reading SE, I've always thought "Kenji eats a lot of meat. Dude's gonna be bummin' when the realities of hitting forty kick in." About how much were you eating?
What's your favorite vegetarian burger on the market?
There's a lot of ways to make a great veggie burger, but the only way I know to take vegetables and turn them into a good "beefy" burger is to feed them to a cow. The portabello burgers I make approach "beefy", but I marinate them in Worcestershire and put bacon on them - not vegetarian.
