Also collard greens and cornbread along with the black eyed peas.
Eating Cream of Wheat, cooking split peas in ham stock I made yesterday. Slow start today.
We broke our corkscrew last night, cheap pot metal, trying to open a bottle of Moscato d'asti. We finally gave up and had some sparkling cider. I need to go buy a new corkscrew so we can try out the Asti.
You only have one corkscrew!?
When I worked in a restaurant many years ago, I was the only one who could open the wine properly with a corkscrew. Even the bartender had problems. And I don't even drink. I preferred the simple one. Handle with a corkscrew. Go figure.

Personally, I don't care if we pick the cork out with an ice pick, but Shrek is determined to make a corkscrew work. This will be a big "WOW" for me...I had a glass of bubbly last week and plan on another today. I usually put about 4 months between drinks.
Wait a minute; are you opening a bottle of bubbly with a cork screw????
I saw that done with a bottle of Royale de Neuville in a Chinese restaurant once. It worked, but we all had to stifle giggles.
I've never opened or even seen a bottle of Champagne opened. How and why are they different?This cork is flush with the top of the bottle, it's really a bottle of Asti. You HAVE to use a corkscrew...we aren't dopes you know. If it had been a champagne cork, no problem.

Thanks!
Isn't Asti a bubbly? Why doesn't it need a champagne style cork? Is less bubbly, sort of like Mateus?
On champagne the cork is half way outside the neck of the bottle. You twist it with a towel over it and gently work the cork out. Some folks like to showoff and open it so that the cork gives a popping sound and goes flying through the air. The chanpagne immediatly starts to flow out of the bottle. You have to get it to the glass really fast. Seems like a waste of good champagne to me. Not to mention the mess it makes. Champagne should be opened with care and very gently.
When my son was interviewing he went to a wine shop and got a good deal. After each interview, he bought a bottle of wine that the owner recommended and would have been very expensive. But because he was going to be buying a lot, they reduced the price. He would send a thank you note with a bottle of wine to the person who interviewed him. He would bring the note to the store and give them the address and all the necessary information. They mailed it out for him at their expense.
This child is my baby and I still find it hard to see him drinking alcohol. He is 35 y.o. He is not old enough to drink. He is not old enough to have a wife and child either. And I want to know that he is in by dark. My little .
