"Svenn's No-no Recipe"
On cooking and recipes....the last time i tried to do something positive in
that direction i almost start a fire in the appartment.
Bente was working the late evening shift and I thought, "I want to suprise
her, with some dinner. Two burgers and eggs in the pan and the stove on
full and just sat down in my chair with the newspaper.
Guess you know the rest now....
I woke up about 2 hours later.The pan had never been that clean but I cant
say that about the kitchen. I got the job to wash down the kitchen. That
was 2 days with cleaning and paint and stuff. That's the reason that the
kitchen is off limits to me still after 23 years.
The sad thing is that this really happened.
Bente still reminds me about this.
Think there should be a warning sign in the stores about the danger when
you buy a stressless - stressless is the most comfortable chair to buy here.
Svenn

Catlind and Roxy,
When I figure out how to write it as a recipe, I will send you my “How to turn cheap red wine into a rich desert sauce, by doing almost nothing”. Use it over French Vanilla Ice Cream, or cheese blintz (frozen and cheap). For any bachlor/bachlorettes out there, this is your secret weapon. A sensuous dessert, is the lead-in to the rest of the evening.
I think the wine pairing with the recipies, is the perfect, ironic Cluster touch. Let me know. I’m going to post some cheaper wines, now.
PFDAN
David J.
P.S.
Woobie, about the pheasant and wine, it depends on the sauce. With no sauce, I would go with a CA pinot noir (a lighter bodied red that won’t overwhelm the bird, yet has enough guts to stand up to any gaminess). Or a French Rhone Valley red, try a “Cote de Rhone” for about $10-12, or a Chateauneuf-du-Pape, (Southern Rhone).

Cat,
If they’ve got ice wine, they are half-way to the bedroom already. Screw the dessert.
It’s hard for an ice wine (Eiswein) to stand up to a red wine reduction. I would probably go with a ruby port, I like “Fonseca Bin 27” big, red, fresh, fruity and inexpensive. (Oh yeah, there are berries in the sauce)
For a true German Eiswein, I would go with a Riesling from:
FRANZ KUNSTLER (Producer)
HOCHHEIMER HOLLE (Town/Vineyard)
Eiswein 2001
Hochheim is in the Rheingau region (brown bottle).
The German government monitors sugar levels, so Eiswein can’t be made in every year by every producer. All German Rieslings age very well, because of the balance of acid and sugar. So, in this case vintages don’t matter as much.
You do have expensive tastes, though. This reasonably priced 375ml. bottle of Eiswein, wholesales at $92. (Bachlor/bachlorettes, use the tiniest frigging glasses you can find).
David J.

David, we generally have Reisling Eiswein anyway. We've tried probably 6 different kinds when were over there, the best was one that was from 1989 and cost $350 DM but it was DAMN good.
The bottle we had at xmas was Carl Adelseck
Rheinhessen
1999 Wöllstener Hölle
Grauburgunder
Eiswein.
Was ok. I've had much better
Yes, once hubby tasted ice wine, that was it, he was hooked, outside of buying your basic cheap strawberry zinfandel, the only wine we have in this house is ice wine or home made quebec red. (I should send you a bottle for critique - email me your address and tell me how to ship it)
We can get all the german eiswein's here on base because they import them from Germany, one of the perks of military. But the Niagara wines are very good as well, Inniskillen being my favorite.
I'm not a red wine fan since it instantly gives me a headache, but I've had some that were very - how would you say it in sommelier terms - full bodied! LOL
Cat
Now if I could just convince hubby that ice wine is a SIPPING wine and not to be served in a wine glass but a liqueour (sp) glass!
