    Oh god we had fried bologna with melted provolone on Italian bread, dill pickles and black olives for a late dinner yesterday......it was so good. Hadn't had it in a long time, sometimes simple is good, with the accompanying condiments,   dishes and bread. Yum.

    Just finished off raw mushrooms and mini-carrots with dill dip.

    What kind or brand of dill dip? We used to get Yoder's from Amish country up here, can't find it. Love good dill dip with crackers or veggies.

    H.E.B. is an area grocer here in Texas and maybe nearby states and makes their own very excellent dill dip at a very reasonable price. Good with any raw veggies of your choice.

    Yeah its the GAMEDAY foods not kindergarten. 

  • Hey Dutch Oven and you other cooking aficionados my wife just got a new LENNOX dutch oven which is a fraction of the weight of a traditional dutch oven and has an oven safe tempered glass lid regular  $100 for $50 on sale.

    Since her shoulder surgery in 2016 she just can't lift well and a dutch oven is essential for making those good GAMEDAY and other meals.

    Next to grilling oven meals are great one pot meals.

    Yeah, visited here for the first time in a few weeks, and cleaned up the personal attacks. 

    Sunday heading over to my pal Bob's place now that his totally remodeled kitchen is in order. It's always the usual fare- assorted cold cuts, french bread, chips, the occasional pizza and BYOB. Which is always wine in my case, a few of the guys drink beer.

    Ha in regard to wine- I'll borrow the Miller Lite commercial tag line. "Tastes great, less filling."

    Exactly Ag. Do you want to drink it on it's own, or with food? Though this to my mind is the Golden Age of decent wines that won't send you to the poor house. We're talking stuff in the $6 to the $15-$20 range. I've helped teach a wine appreciation course for several years at the University of Dayton- and one thing I've stressed from personal experience is when it comes to wine- there's what I call the "logarithmic law of diminishing returns". Just because a wine is 10X more expensive doesn't necessarily make it 10X better, usually not even close. Yeah, I've been lucky enough to hang out with guys and taste their "trophy wines" who can afford almost anything, but trust me, that stuff is a status symbol more than anything else. Back in "the old days" meaning the late 1970s to early '80s you could buy great wines cheap, cellar them for 20 years, and congratulate yourself you were sitting on a fortune. No longer. The very top end wines have become collectibles that only millionaires can afford. The worst example I know of is Romanee Conti (it's a for real burgundy and the top of the heap) the only way you get a bottle of it is by buying it in conjunction in a six pack of their other wines (which are held in high regard in their own right). The six pack will set you back $20,000. To show you how crazy it's gotten- way back I bought a bottle of 1972 La Romanee, the vineyard is separated by a cart track from Romanee Conti- for $30. As I tell my class- when you come right down to it- it's fermented grape juice.  

    A quote I like to bring up from one of the original Napa winemakers August Sebastiani- "if the first sip of a wine invites another- the wine is good". Even in our group of guys who know their wines cold- you can have violent disagreements about a particular wine. For example- I can't stand New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs- the worst examples of them smell like chopped up tomato plants to me. OTOH, the only wine I'll still splurge on that I love is a Spanish wine called Clio (around $50), my good pal Bob calls it a fruit bomb with little redeeming value. Personally I think he's nuts- because once a year at our class after hours I'll pull out an "extra credit" bottle of Clio for the kids to taste- and they almost universally love it.  🙂  

    So, if you give us some of the wines that you've tried and liked- or something you think you might like, I'm sure we can come up with suggestions.

    Great write up Larry. Put a smile on my face. There are a lot of really excellent Cabernets out there that are cheaper than the "top" Cabs, but nonetheless taste very good to me, especially with a fine medium rare quality steak. I stumbled upon Honig Cabernet from Napa a few years back and year after year it has never disappointed. Runs around $40 a bottle and is a nice "full" Cab that even an amateur like myself can distinguish from other Cabs and it "melts" into the bite of steak. $40 gets you one and I would put it up against a $500-300 bottle any day and never blink an eye. It just tastes good to me and that's what counts. 

    My biggest regret to this day was when I was at the Hess winery (Hess has a cheaper yet very drinkable Cab -Allomi Vineyard for around $22) where they had out a few cases of a cab with an early maturing South American Malbec blended in at about 10%. Open it and it smelled like blueberries, but with a definite big Cab. underneath it. The taste was wonderful. But I was too cheap 20 years ago to pay the $100/bottle they wanted. I called back a couple months later for Xmas, since I knew they did not ship it to retailers and tried to order it by phone. It had sold out within a week or so from when I had been there. Oh well-missed opportunity.
