Try it, maybe it's fine!
But don't count on it.
Good luck!

Potato anything. No meat needed.

I am a true believer that red wine and chocolate are a bad pairing.
But that's just me, because it's a very popular pairing.

Beth1, Leftover sparerib. That is funny.

It seems the overwhelming response is to just eat as is, with some extra sauciness. I guess that may be the best way to go.
Although, the taco filling idea is a good one too.

Thanks for the suggestions!!

Indian.

This is so funny because I too was at Whole Foods yesterday and almost bought the five artichokes for $5!
I decided there was no way two of us could eat them in a timely fashion.
But it was so tempting.

We like to grill them with olive oil and garlic and then make an aioli dipping sauce.
Cut them in half, clean out the choke of all the hairy bits etc., and then coat them in olive oil and garlic, and grill. About half an hour to 40 minutes. You may char some of the outer leaves, but it's no big deal.

I think that Alice Waters is fantastic. Her cookbooks are well used in our home, and while we have not eaten at Chez Panisse, we have been to several of the restaurants opened by chefs who worked for her.

That being said, we are very fortunate to be able to buy foods that satisfy both our conscience and our appetites. But, it has increased our food costs greatly to do so. If I were in a single-income family, or had kids, it would be much more difficult to do this.

If Alice Waters would speak to her audience with a bit more sensitivity to the fact that many people are living pay check to pay check, and highlight the small things you can do to live a more healthy and environmentally friendly lifestyle, people would be less apt to bristle at her comments. It's all in the delivery!!

Al Gore could have said "Now we all MUST buy hybrid cars", but he told us to change a light bulb instead.

Everyone can participate in Alice's Utopian dream, but she has to make people see how they fit in.

Once a year professionally, and we use a steel each time between uses.
Our shop charges $5.00 per knife. It's worth it.

That's funny, I was just going to say AZ!
It's freakin' hot there, but the economy is hitting it hard and things are cheap. You can stay in a great hotel for a song, and there are lot's of fabulous food posibilities.
Pizzaria Bianco, and Sea Saw in Phoenix. Cafe Poca Cosa, Jax Kitchen, and a slew of incredilble Mexican restaurants in Tucson, and head North to Sedona and hit Cafe Elote. As good as any Rick Bayless restaurant in Chicago!

Mashed root vegetables with orange peel! Yum-o!

The fine food and wine business is dire. I am in the business, and I don't know a single person who is not struggling right now. Some states are hit harder than others, true, but people are not spending money on higher-end food and wine.
In my city, 42 restaurants shuttered their doors last year, not all were fine dining, but a fair enough number were. You notice the difference.

I'm going to ask a friend who eps it. It may be a wine we don't see here in the states. Weird though that it's not on the internet anywhere.
All I have found out so far is that Werle was a beloved employee, and I think they own the company now,
