Strider Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 $5 to $20 a bottle is my usual buy when it comes to wine. Although I will go as high as $50 or $60 for certain vintages...but I usually try to suss out a good bargain before the prices go up. I'm addicted to these.

I absolutely love any kind of Danish cakes. My favorite kage is Dagmartærte. I took a look at the ohdanishbakery.com and I think they call Dagmartærte Seven Sisters.

chillumpuffer Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 (edited) We are having chums over for dinner and I am doing Malaysian : Singapore Laksa with king Prawns and coconut. Spicy, rich and warming. This Laksa has Noodles,Beansprouts and Bamboo Shoots. Topped with Mint/Coriander Leaves. The soup has been made by cooking the Prawn heads and shells to make a stock and then a tin of Coconut milk. I have made a Laksa paste from Chillies, Lemon Grass, Galangal, Coriander Seeds Garlic, Fish Paste and dried Shrimps Chicken Kapitan Curry. A paste made from loads of Herbs and Spices. Coconut Milk and Palm Sugar. Slowly cooked with Lime Juice and Coriander Leaves at the end. Plain rice and Chapatis. Chocolate Fondants and Fresh Raspberries and cream. I know not Malaysian but it is a show stopper as the chocolate oozes out from the middle Loads of red and white Wine. Beers and green (although they don't partake) I have cheese and White Port if we can fit anything else in.

Strider Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 ^^^ Sounds delicious CP. After all the Thanksgiving comfort food, I'm in the mood now for some seafood. I didn't take a photo of my Thanksgiving plates...I went to two Thanksgiving gatherings; one regular and one vegan...if you've seen one you've seen them all. Over the many years of eating Thanksgiving feasts, I have decided on my favourite wine to drink with turkey. 1. Zinfandel 2. Rosé. So this year I brought these two bottles along. The Cline Cellars is a long-time favourite of mine...since at least 1997. The Rosé is made in Provence by a nice English couple who picked up stakes and moved down to France. Both bottles are inexpensive...less than $20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chillumpuffer Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Got the tired winter blues. I hate hate, hate the winter. The darkness and cold. But, of course, the kitchen is always there to cheer one up. Whilst the wood burner crackles I will be making sea food. Moules for kick off. Mussels in wine,cream, garlic and bay leaves Sea Food Paella. Squid, prawns both small and tiger. Garlic, onion, red pepper, green beans, wine and fish stock. NO CHORIZO ! Mussels for the top. Classic Valencian rice dish Fresh fruit tartlets and cream. A rich red for me and a white for Mrs CP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
