Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 No .... it is good old British Italian Fayre ... we cook much better pasta than those confused Italians you know ... One makes a ton of sauce at a time for the freezer and bring it out on lazy days .... How about some food piccies from your table ..........:) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKCruiseJeff Posted April 21, 2014 Author #534 Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) JEFF,Can you get a door put on that cupboard to cover up that unsightly wiring? Will do. Today is our kebab day. Given up on the salad. S&d five a day. Two cigars and three large brandies ... that'll do it. Plus five Mozart Balls. Voila. ;) I'm a bit suprised this totally irrlevant thread has had 26,000 hits with nearly 200 in the last few hours or so. ...... I bet you some are from people who say we're on their ignore list! ;):rolleyes: It'd be great if a few more plucked up courage just to say the square root of b$£er all. :D Trivia is really important in our lives. Important stuff get's in the way far too often. :cool: Edited April 21, 2014 by UKCruiseJeff ipad spelling uncorrect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Rioja has been a stunning buy .... and a very good "keeper". In fact I have a bottle or two arriving tommorow ... it's on "offer". ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Luxury Posted April 21, 2014 #537 Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) JEFF, You love a screw cap don't you? Where do you store the other eleven months supply? Edited April 21, 2014 by Mr Luxury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKCruiseJeff Posted April 21, 2014 Author #538 Share Posted April 21, 2014 JEFF,You love a screw cap don't you? Where do you store the other eleven months supply? :D That's in the larder/cold room. There is one or two racks like that ...:eek: It's funny how prissy people were when they introduced synthetic cork ... and the experts started to say this is better than cork for most wines or indeed all wines as there will never be deterioration.... and then the same happened with screw cap. Do you use the red wine aireators? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Luxury Posted April 21, 2014 #539 Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) :D Do you use the red wine aireators? No,there's never any left to keep alive. Once it's opened,it's dead. Those lava lamps are very sort after again. Edited April 21, 2014 by Mr Luxury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKCruiseJeff Posted April 21, 2014 Author #540 Share Posted April 21, 2014 No,there's never any left to keep alive. Once it's opened,it's dead. No, it's not for keeping - it's for introducing a lot of air into red wine. You pour the wine through it into a decanter - this creates an air vortex and it it really improves the majority of red wines. The only one I don't use it on are Shiraz varietals.

Only reds though. Also great for port as it has a fine mesh ..... so it filters as it airs ....:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
