Last night, at our friends Ted and Lily’s place, we had summer Northwest surf and turf in the form of country ribs and grilled salmon that Ted had caught up north. Lily’s one of my friends that I can get really nerdy with about food.
  And I got this recipe for Gulab Jamun (referenced […]

  Hershey’s just bought Scharffenberger.
  I’m not saying that I don’t like me a Mr. Goodbar every now and then. But.
But.
But….
  I don’t want my downtown mixing with my uptown, you follow? Scharffenberger is the best domestic chocolate producer–artisinal, specialty chocolate. No doubt Hershey’s looks to "increase market share." (i.e. shooting up production, sacrificing quality)

Just like I can’t believe anyone could not like Gordon Ramsay (his new American show is another thing), I cannot believe anyone would not like Anthony Bourdain. It’s like hating the Easter Bunny. Sort of. Well the lanky, chain-smoking, gutter snob of an almost Michelin chef has a new show on the Travel channel.
Called "No […]

  I tried to recreate something that my friend Lara brought to our wine group. It was a hummus-like substance made with peas and loads of fresh mint. I’m not the hottest with recipe forensics so she’s free to comment on my attempt. It was not as good as hers. But, working off my hummus […]

  For the next month or so, I’ll be slowly moving to a new site. This site will be up with excerpts, but all jumps will take you to the blog page to the new home of The Wine Offensive. (Right now when you type in that address, you are redirected here. Unless you were […]

  Oooooh-wee! Lousiana just came up with a simple, mildly creative solution to a dilemma caused by the Supreme Court.
  The Supreme Court ruling aobut direct wine shipments hinged on the inequity between in-state wineries and out of state wineries. Lousiana legislation just passed, House Bill #338 prohibits in-state wineries from acting as a wholesaler, […]
