Am I the only one who finds it
weird that Kara Kennedy, daughter of Ted Kennedy and Eleanor Mondale, daughter
of Walter Mondale both died yesterday at the age of 51? Seems like some sort of a sign. Additionally, this is a picture from
1870. It clearly proves it once and for
all…Nicolas Cage is a vampire.
I love wine. I love cooking with wine. I love it when wine is on sale and I can buy
a bottle for cooking and another for drinking.
Sometimes having a wine party to whine with friends is fun. Try these recipes at your next whine party.

2 Tablespoons Butter
2 whole large onions, halved and
sliced thin
¼ beef broth
7 dashes Worcestershire Sauce
Splash of red
½ cup grated Gruyere cheese
24 whole white or Crimini
Mushrooms, washed and stems removed
Minced parsley

Set aside. Melt 1 tablespoon
butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Throw in mushrooms and toss around for 2 minutes, just to start the
cooking process. Sprinkle mushrooms with
salt. Place mushroom caps face down in a
baking dish. Heap cavity with sautéed mushrooms,
then sprinkle Gruyere over the top. Bake
at 325 degrees for 10 minutes. Turn on
broiler and broil for a couple of minutes, until the top of the Gruyere starts
to bubble and slightly brown. Sprinkle
minced parsley over the top and serve.
Ingredients
4 oz chilled Cabernet Sauvignon
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp superfine sugar
2 oz chilled soda water

Dissolve the sugar in the lemon
juice and the water in a large wine glass. Add cracked ice and pour the Cabernet
Sauvignon. Stir gently. Garnish with an orange slice, and serve.
Blimey! Sounds like something the guests would be mad about. Except for the wine, of course.
