I feel mostly the same way about dry red wine. Occasionally I've found one that I felt mildly excited about, but it's not really my beverage of choice with anything. I cook with it all the time, and I see no contradiction in making, say, beef bourguignon and then drinking beer with it.</p> <p>Wendy, I'm working on a post in answer to your question, but in short, Iris has two books featuring spaghetti and meatballs, so I'm going to make a traditional Italian-American one with red sauce. Although I'm going to make the meatballs bite-sized, because I like them better that way.</p> Stacy, I hear you. I feel mostly the same way about dry red wine.

Wendy, I’m working on a post in answer to your question, but in short, Iris has two books featuring spaghetti and meatballs, so I’m going to make a traditional Italian-American one with red sauce. Although I’m going to make the meatballs bite-sized, because I like them better that way.

I love cake and feel that I've only mastered one in my life (german chocolate). To me, cupcakes are just small cakes and I am in awe of anyone possessing the talent to make them well. That said, there are a ton of crappy cakes (and cupcakes) out there.</p> Ah, okay. I love cake and feel that I’ve only mastered one in my life (german chocolate).
