    Boeuf Bourguignon

    Thanks for the input. I like the taste of bacon so I might try it without boiling it too. When you make it, do you make it up the day before or serve it the same day you make it? When I was reading the recipe, it said you could do it either way. Carol

    Boeuf Bourguignon

    OK. So we watched Julie & Julia recently and the boeuf bourguignon looked good. Looked up Julia Child's recipe and it says to boil the bacon. I will probably be using just thick sliced packaged bacon (no rind). Do I still boil it? Carol

    Scallops help!

    Wow! I never knew this about DRY scallops. That is why I get all that liquid. Actually, I never even knew that there was such a thing as Dry Scallops. Where do you get DRY scallops? Will it say Dry on the package. Carol

    What's the deal with wine?

    We tried the Cavit Pinot Noir and really liked it a lot too. Another red wine we recently tried and liked was called Menage a Trois bottled by Folie a Deux winery. It is a blend of 3 wines, Zinfandel, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Carol

    Beginners guide to knives?

    Thanks Trooper. That is exactly what we decided to do. Picked up a block the other day. We looked at the Henckels International set that Costco had, but didn't really like it. Both hubby and myself like the feel of the Wusthof Classic 8" chefs knife. I think that is what we will start out...

    Cutting Board Question

    Thanks for that info Selkie. I do spray my cutting boards with bleach/water (1T/16oz) periodically. I keep a spray bottle of the bleach/water under my sink and every so often I spray my sink, sponges, dish drainer, etc. Carol

    Cutting Board Question

    It was a wooden cutting board. We use vinegar and water to clean our hardwood floors, but I never thought to use it on my cutting board. Carol

    Cutting Board Question

    The other day I was watching a youtube video where the person cleaned his cutting board with vinegar. I had never heard of this. Does vinegar sanitize the cutting board? Carol

    Sharpening steel/hone

    I just ordered the Syderco Sharpmaker the other day to sharpen my knives. From the posts I've read on this forum I've gathered that a 'steel' more or less realigns the edge not really sharpen them. I guess I should have been clearer. From your post you mentioned above (#26) you recommend a...

    Knife selection help

    Thanks Andy. We did hold the Professional S and the Wusthof Classic and they felt very similar. Haven't looked at the other two yet. We were originally thinking of getting a 'block set' but as so many here have pointed out, they come with knives we really might not want or need want...

    Sharpening steel/hone

    OK. I'm confused about the different types. I've read through some of the posts and am still confused by the different types, ceramic, smooth, ribbed. Which should you use? Have also read that some feel the ones that come with a set are not good and some use them. What about if you don't...
