Hi, and welcome to the Cooking echo. Unless I am mistaken, this is
your first post here. Glad that you have come out of lurking. How
about introducing yourself to the group here -- we don't bite,
except on good food :-}}

Hi. Not much to say about me really. I'm John and I share an unpopular opinion about Tim Horton's coffee being mediocre. Also I can follow a recipe and avoid burning food. Mostly.

Then you'll fit in just fine... ;) Some of us are more cooks than
others of us are... some of us are more Eats, and just enjoy talking
about food... I used to cook fancier than I do now... now it's rather
simple fare most of the time... But I do enjoy watching other people
cook... :)

I'm currently on a Chicken Breast and salad kick. Pretty much living on
it. Don't know why, but that's all I want. I'm going to write down my
sauce recipe for MM next time I make it. ;)

Sauces are easy if you pay attention to a few details. Like, taking a
page from the French and using lots of butter. This is one I make for
chicken - although I seldom do white meat. But, it works as well for breasts/wings as it does for leg quarters. My local Walgreens has been
carrying splits (175ml) of Ernie and Julie (E&J Gallo wineries) which
is not my preferred drink - it is better than "cooking" wine and works
well in sauces, etc.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Red Wine Sauce For Chicken
Categories: Sauces, Vegetables, Wine
Yield: 3 servings

2 tb Butter; unsalted
1 tb Minced garlic
3 md Sweet onion; diced fine
1 tb Paprika
1/4 c Light brown sugar
1/2 c Chicken broth or stock
1 c Red wine; pinot noir or
- burgundy
1/4 ts Salt
Salt & pepper

Melt butter in the skillet over medium heat. Sweat the
onion and garlic until translucent.

Add the flour and paprika and cook, stirring, 1 minute.

Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, whisking.

Add the wine, sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt and simmer
until the sauce is reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper.

If the sauce thickens too much thin it by adding more
unsalted butter to get the desired consistency.

UDD Note: To use this on pork or roast beef add 2 tb
Dijon-style mustard before reducing the sauce.

Have you been having the same hot/humid weather we've been having up to
just now...? That could explain some of it, maybe... ;)

Good idea... :)

Up until today! Today is chilly at 22c and almost no humidity.
I am sitting here INSIDE the trailer in the woods with the furnace on!
Yes it's a trailer... there is no insulation, and I just did a 14 hour
shift and had my car fail at the gas station, and I will run the furnace
all damn night and sweat like a pig if I want to!

Recipe: Sweaty pig (no not really) ;)

Yup, ours dropped like that, too... still is pretty chilly, but at least
the house is well insulated... we took advantage of the coolth to cool
off the house for the first few days... ;) Had the window open around
the clock until I closed it last night when it was getting a little too
cool... ;)

[laugh] I'd say you'd be entitled... ;) We had a church retreat
Saturday, on top of Bristol Hill in Naples, in a state park... we had a
lodge, but for the teaching part the adults were sitting outside on the
porch of the lodge... some were almost dressed for the weather, but it
was not only much cooler than it had been but also there was fog and a
cold breeze blowing... Emergency blankets came out from cars, and we all survived... ;)

Recipe: Sweaty pig (no not really) ;)

Just as well... (G) At least we had decent food for the retreat (served inside), brought in by some of the members... Morning snacks included my sister's famous crescent rolls, some sweet, at least one savory, with
the frosting that makes them even nicer... and she'd also made a pot of
hot cocoa, served with freshly whipped cream... There was also fresh
fruit and a gluten free coffee cake... and the usual coffee.. ;)

Lunch was make your own tacos, with a choice of flour tortillas or corn
taco shells, a choice of pulled chicken taco meat, beef taco meat with
beans and tomatoes or plain beef taco meat... and a crock pot of rice
and black beans... toppings included shredded cheddar cheese, sliced
black olives, lettuce, sliced avocado, chopped fresh tomatoes, salsa,
sour cream... there were also tortilla chips of some sort, which I
didn't even try...

Afternoon snacks before we went home included what was left of my
sister's rolls and some other baked goodies...
