fabulous with a nice prime rib... even more decadent paired with dark chocolate.

i had the pleasure of touring Stone Hill Winery while rolling thru Missouri-
i cannot remember what the name was, but they have a Pinot to die for,
and a champagne that was exquisite-
will get the names, and come back in!

Who is the Vintner? OOps just saw the bottom LOL

Well, tonight I had pan seared salmon, which was supposed to be last nights dinner but it hadn't thawed out yet. So anyway, salmon with caper linguini alfredo. The wine we picked out Saturday from a small road side stand that has it's license with a major winery in the area. It was Arrowhead Riesling and it is perfect with the salmon. The lady at the little store wanted us to stay and talk and wine taste all day. She was nonplused when I told her she got the pronoun right the first time. Ami and she talked knitting and the lady and I talked golf and wineries. It was fun. Had to return for some apple spiced wine to mull. Sometimes it's the people in small towns and rural areas that are the nicest folks and don't really care who you are.

I spent a good two hours today braving the crowds at the most popular grocery store in town. I hate shopping in crowded stores, but it had to be done, I've been cooking out of pantry supplies for weeks. As a reward, tonight's dinner is Chicken and 40 Cloves with mashed potatoes and gravy. I think we're going to have Hip Chicks Do Wine Pinot Grigio with it. I usually go for very sweet wines, but the tartness of the Pinot Grigio is perfect with all that garlic.

40 Cloves my gut thats enough garlic to send me to the hospital LOL. Definitely the acid is needed good choice!

SecretAgentMa'am · 10-16-2011, 08:46 PM

It's actually not a very acidic dish. The garlic is cooked whole with the chicken, so it gets baked in olive oil and pan juices for over an hour. When it's done, it's all soft and sweet and perfect for smearing all over crusty bread. Like roasted garlic, only it's all peeled first.

BTW, this is how I peeled all that garlic. It totally works! 3 heads of garlic all peeled and ready to go in the pan in under a minute.

Well I'll be damned, that a new one on me. Next time I ned to cook that much garlic (for others, serious garlic and onions allergy) I'll remember that trick.

Oh man, I'm so glad that's not included in my long list of allergies. I buy garlic and onions in bulk. We go through them like whoa.

Awesome! Can't believe I have been peeling them one @ a time all of these years!

Thanks!

This is probably a no brainer... but years ago a friend introduced me to port wine... a good port paired with a high quality dark chocolate is a oral experience like no other... important to get the chocolate melting into the port in your mouth.
