Instead of drinking the wine

Instead of drinking the wine you could use it to make a simple but very good chicken dinner. Use skinless chicken pieces of your choice. I use breasts and thighs. Melt half stick of butter with 3 flattened garlic cloves to extract the garlic flavor in heavy pan. Remove the garlic, turn heat up to high and brown the chicken along with salt and pepper to taste. Carefully add 1 cup each of your white wine and chicken broth. Add a bay leaf and simmer covered on low heat one hour. When done remove the chicken to a large bowl, thicken the liquid to make a nice gravy nod pour over chicken. Serve with mashed potatoes. Reheating the rest of mine tonight.

Just an afterthought, but

In reply to I make my own apricot jam

Just an afterthought, but there are always muffin recipes on these cheap mixes and all they wish for is an egg maybe (again, I am the only diner) and a little oil--which I never add but I will add some sour lean.

And, of course, we bake muffins.

So a big muffin in the oven as they say makes sense.

I make my own apricot jam

In reply to Oh I love that apricot jam

I make my own apricot jam every year. When the apricots show up at the market I buy 5 lbs and a bottle of Riesling Wine. The other ingredients is a bag of sugar, certo and dried lavender blossoms. I spend the afternoon making this ambrosia of all jams. A little jar of this cost about $9 on the internet. The left over wine I save for me. I have had my jars for years and other equipment. It is an old recipe that was handed down to me I updated for pectin. My aunt made it with Blue Nun wine. I was surprised to see it on the internet.

Oh I love that apricot jam but I just picked up some peach jam on sale for two bucks (which will last months by the way).

If I hit on one of my scratch offs I will purchase some real maple syrup that costs as much as gold. hahahah

Baking pancakes?

wow

I am going to try this method real soon!

This is my other pan cake

This is my other pan cake recipe that I like to make. You cook it in the oven. It is the most popular recipe from the New York Times ever. Since you heat the oven for sausage you might like to give this a go. I don't use the lemon juice but fill them with apricot jam. They are a real treat.

I enjoyed the links. I have

In reply to When you started talking

I enjoyed the links. I have always been able to taste the corn flour in Aunt Jemima pancakes. It is nice to know it is equal parts. Like I said up thread, African Americans helped make this country's society and culture what it is. A much bigger part then they have been credit for.

When you started talking about pancakes, I thought for sure you were going here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Green or here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aunt_Jemima to tie everything together.

In reply to The south has always been

You know what I discovered even before I found my method duplicated on the Food Channel?

I found that coating a solid cast-iron frying pan with olive oil and then adding some real butter, the pancakes just became a wonder to behold.

I do not know why this is, but it works.

And like I said, the Food Channel approved my method. Hahahahah

I certainly make pancakes from scratch with a method pretty close to your recipe; it is just that after 7 years of practice and with a touch more money, a two dollar box of Mrs. Butterworth complete, really does the job. And remember I am alone. So I can be selfish. Hahahah

The box lasts me for at least two months; unless I am greedy but damn it is so simple.

I was just amazed at how olive oil and butter work so nicely together. And how my pancakes (whether made from scratch or from the box) really fried so nicely.

I bake the sausage for twenty minutes (cheap brats) and then cut them up and throw them on the plate.

One sausage when I am alone and two when Seany shows up.

I throw the mess into the oven while I fry an egg or two; over easy, very easy.

I might add a touch of peach jam ($2.00 a jar) and syrup. I don't know why but this dish, which I eat three times a month, is the best meal I ever make. hahaah

And I am in heaven with my favorite dish which is better than I would get at some pancake house.

Sean really looks forward to breakfast when he appears.

I just cannot achieve the wonder without Mrs. Butterworth. Hahahah

Why am I writing this?

hahahahah

In reply to HYPOCRISY AS THE RACIST DEFENSE IN THE SOUTH!

The south has always been afraid of people that don't look like them or act like them. Florida is changing fast and you can even see the difference in the younger people and older people. Most of the older African Americans sound like Al Sharpton here in Florida but the younger ones are loosing their ethnic accent because of education. Al went to black schools before intergration. Historians are going to look back at the ending of Jim Crow as one of the most important mile stones in the 20th century. We are seeing the end of southern racial backlash politics play out now. The politicians in Texas see what is happening now in Florida and it has them scared. The organizers that got the ball rolling in Florida 6 years ago are now in Texas working for Battle Ground Texas. They are scared to death that their wives, sisters and mothers will vote them out of office.

The series that is on PBS about the how African Americans helped build this country. They really had a important roll. It is good series. I hope you are watching it.

OT: Alex Sink is going to run in the open FL-13 seat that Bill Young had for 43 years. The seat was always hers if she wanted it. I saw a interview last spring were she was asked if she would run again for Gov. or go after Young's House seat when he retires. Her husband Bill Mcbride had died last Dec. She had told the interviewer that she was down sizing her home and was not sure yet if she would move to Clearwater but was thinking about it. Her husband was a partner in a big law firm in Tampa and was also in politics. Bill McBride ran against JEB for Gov. Election will be sometime in the spring. GOP in Florida is worried that they will take a blow in the state house also next year. They want all their state legislators to have 50 grand in the bank by the end of the year for next years campaign. Money isn't going to be easy for them this time.

OT: Here is an easy pan cake recipe for you. It tastes better then mix. Just as easy to make. It is also cheaper to do.

3/4 cup all purpose flour

1/2 cup of whole wheat flour or buckwheat flour( you can use all purpose flour)

2 tablespoons of sugar

2 teaspoons of baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/3 cup of milk

1 egg.

Mix together. Heat griddle with a little oil. Drop 1/4 cup of batter on hot griddle. Make just a few at a time. Don't turn over until the bubbles on top break and the sides look dry. Flip and let other side get golden brown. You can't make them with all whole wheat or all buckwheat because they will be dense and tough. My family loves the buckwheat pan cakes. A bag of buckwheat flour is a little expensive but it lasts a long time because it only takes a half cup. It makes about 20 pan cakes if you stick to a 1/4 cup of batter. They freeze well and all you do is warm them up.
