Speaking of booze... anybody know how long a bottle of white wine can stay in the fridge once opened?

I broke down and bought some for a recipe and I'm not a big fan of wine... so I needed to know how fast I needed to cook some other things... or get to liking wine.

Thanks.

graydon - try to use it within the next couple days, it will keep longer for cooking than it will for drinking, but not much longer...

hmm... brandy.... i bet some flambeed strawberries would go good with peach brandy.

Graydon, did you pump the air out of the bottle or put inert gas into it when you put it in the fridge? I'm guessing not and that it is at least partially exposed to the air. In that case, I'd say 2 full days is pushing it.

Do you provide full service wedding services? The hall, entertainment, etc. or just the food?

Snow prevents the cooking and serving process from happening?
I might be just a little jaded as it takes a helluva a lot more than some snow to stop much around these parts (GB WI.)

Hey foodwhore......I have a cold remedy for you! My husband is from Germany...and the last time I had a massive cold, he made for me what he calls a "Grog" (probably the German name for a 'hot toddy'). You take a really big coffee mug, fill it half full of rum and fill the rest of the mug with hot water and lemon juice. Sweeten it with honey....drink it as fast as you can before it gets cold. I know this sounds like a lot of booze....AND you will definitely be feeling it....but I'm telling you ......man does it ever work!

Graydon, I can finish that for you!!

all... tanks 4 the hlp on the wne... 2 daze is 2 shirt.... butt its gon... hic

Hoping the madness caused by a few inches of snow has subsided. My wife and I, visiting for Thanksgiving, barely made it out yesterday. It is insane how the slightest bit of inclimate weather really brings that city to a stand still. People can't even drive in the rain and it rains all the time.
By the way, maybe red is different or maybe I am just not as discerning, but I have cooked with wine well after two days and it is fine. I rarely cook with white because, like you Graydon, I just don't care for it.

Seattle is strange in that people here can't drive in rain or snow, but especially not snow. 2 inches and the city shuts down. Coming from the midwest, it's a truly bizarre spectacle. Schools shutting down, people taking off work, people stocking up at the store...

I can forgive poor snow driving skills because it doesn't snow much here, but not knowing how to drive in rain is inexcusable. I mean, you expect idiot drivers anywhere, but you'd think 8 months of practice per year would sharpen your skills a bit.

Just tell Miss Hysterical that the snow and ice will make everything that much prettier for her wedding ... The trick, of course, is say it like you mean it without breaking into mocking laughter :-) You really must post the recipe for Grandmother's Jello for us. I find myself strangely intrigued by the combination of lime Jello and shredded cheese--must be the Midwesterner in me coming out.

It is now 12/4/06. 6 days since the last post (unless there is something wrong with my computer!)

Where is the F.W.?

Shall I send out a St. Bernard (complete with more brandy or lemon drops perhaps?) to rescue her?

F.W. YOU ARE MISSED - PLEASE POST SOON!!!
