Well, someone lied! It was awful - no flavor and very pink and gooey. At least the other stuff was good - roasted parmesan potatoes and broccoli. And I made an Apple Crunch dessert, so I kind of redeemed myself. I just hate it when you spend all that time and then it's YUCKY! Glad I didn't spend a lot of money too.
Anyone else want to share a failure story and make me feel better?  |
LOL! Sherri, there have been more times than I care to recount of sitting down at the table, taking one bite, and walking to the garbage then to the phone to order pizza!
You cant be a good cook unless you learn what NOT to do! That is my moto!
You really cant cook Marsalla without Marsala. you can use a Medera, a port, or a sherry and get a good flavor (in fact i did it this week with a medera and it was great)
I dont recomend using cooking wine but really it is better than nothing at all I suppose.
