Hmmm

I mentioned before how much she makes me crazy. However, after finding this, I can finally make through the whole half hour. I must say, some of her recipes seem pretty tasty. I'm tempted to try them.

Anyway, I have a problem. One of many, I know. In lots of her cooking, there is wine. It's in a lot of recipes I think sound yummy.

I've heard several times now, "Never use a wine you wouldn't drink."

I don't drink wine! I don't like wine. I don't really care for alcohol. I've actually only tried wine with one and it wasn't bad but I wouldn't miss the taste/flavor. So, should I continue what I've been doing and just omitting the wine in recipes? Or should I get some wine to have on hand to cook with? What kind of wine is "good" (inexpensive) wine? How long can I keep wine in the fridge?

Yum

I really should not watch this while I'm hungry. It doesn't help that they replay all the episodes on Wednesday's before the new episode.

Lots of the things that they make I know I wouldn't like, but some of them sound so good. I've even gone and downloaded some of the recipes.

I'm thinking since money is tight for a while that instead of planning all these elaborate meals, I will try one new recipe a week. I think that's fair. It lets me feel creative while not breaking the budget.

Suggestions for next week's new recipe?
