I didn’t realize what a picky eater I was growing up until I started adding up all the things that I now eat. Mushrooms, squash, bell peppers, just to start. Another thing I wouldn’t eat was ricotta cheese, which is a damn shame because my little Italian grandmother used to make her own to put into lasagna. […]
In my last Jackson Free Press column, I talked about getting over the overindulgence of the holiday season and shooting for a healthier meal plan. This is true through January, cause if you’ve been anything like me, these gloomy days of cold and rain have made it harder to exercise. Since I can’t cut wine […]
Worried about what you’re going to eat and drink for Christmas? Tracey over at Foodie Obsessed came up with a really terrific holiday meal, and I’m going to provide the wine pairings.
I love this kind of thing, as I’m always the one with several glasses of wine in front of me to try different […]
Note: As a disclaimer, I’d like to point out I received this bottle for review from Wine Q.
I had been meaning to open the 2003 Hannah Nicole Meritage for a little while, but with all that was going on in the past couple weeks, this was the first good chance I got. The Langtry from my […]
I’m sitting here working on my Jackson Free Press column, which is going to center around crabmeat and Chardonnay. The recipe that didn’t make the cut is there on the left: macaroni and cheese with the addition of lump crabmeat and green onions. Sadly, when I made it, I didn’t have any Chardonnay, chilled or otherwise. […]
I was getting ready to link to my latest Jackson Free Press column, when I realized I had forgotten about one. And it includes one of my favorite meals for a fast fix, plus it goes with one of my most loved wines: Gewurztraminer (or Riesling). I hope you enjoy it as much as […]
The other night had me at a loss for what to cook. I had a nice selection of pork tenderloin, flank steak, and other meats, but they were all frozen. So I decided to go with a variation on a stand-by pasta, remembering that I had bought a Sangiovese back on one of my winery […]
The new issue is already coming in the mail, but maybe you can still find the November issue of Food & Wine on the newsstands, which gives you three choices of Thanksgiving menus with wine pairings. Rather oddly, they base the different themes on how old you are, whether in your 20’s, 40’s, or 60’s. […]
Here’s another post that almost got lost in the blog shuffle, and the reason for not skipping on this one is twofold. First, with the holidays looming, I’ve been missing Mississippi lately–my family, friends, the food. Creola in San Carlos is a great place to go to appease those pangs. New Orleans decor and food, […]
A few weeks ago I made a meal that inadvertantly became a revisitation of the trip BK and I took to Paso Robles in June. First, the caesar salad with diced anchovies asked to be served with the 2005 Garretson Celeidh Rose’. Far from a typical pink, this one is quite dark with big bold […]
