Ages ago I posted an article on how to do home tastings. I thought I'd show you putting my comestibles where my dentition is, from a recent tasting at our apartment. We threw this little party because we had too much fine wine around, and too much chocolate, and our local grocer (Haight Street Market) had just broadened his cheese stock. We invited over our upstairs neighbors plus five friends who had all worked at the same businesses at different times, but had not yet met each other. Continue reading for tasting notes.

The classic tastings are wine, cheese and chocolate, because they offer quite range of variety and almost everyone likes them. They even go together; I've done a number of wine-and-chocolate tastings myself. Even for the "big three" though, you have to decide what kind of tasting you're going to do.

Christmas Eve was very different from Thanksgiving as far as cooking was concerned this year. Thanksgiving dinner I had planned out 2 weeks in advance. Christmas, I was still thinking about things on Monday. So it didn't throw me much when dinner had to be revised and revised. Also, we had a surprisingly "white Christmas" for Oregon; it snowed nonstop for several days, which is a rarity for Medford. So what did all of this snow make me think of? Why, sunny Brazil and Spain, of course! First, I was pleasantly surprised to find Brazillian ingredients at Food4Less in Medford, OR. So I was going to do a Brazillian feast. However, then we invited over two new guests, who apparently were not used to "exotic" foods and both Pat and I thought Bahian cuisine might be going a little far. So we revised it to Spanish food: salt-crusted steelhead trout, asparagus, and tortilla. Except ... I'd forgotten about the Oregon-CA-Washington fishing ban this year. So no wild whole steelhead.

Monday, November 17. 2008Gourmet Salzburg
The Salzburg day begins with a filling breakfast of coffee, water, rolls, cheese, ham, speck, fruit, tomatoes, butter, jam and a soft-boiled egg. Of these, the bread is really the best part; nobody matches German-speakers for the quality and variety of their breads, especially whole-grain breads. I generally prefer an Italian breakfast (panino and espresso) but a good Austrian breakfast is a close second. Continue reading "Gourmet Salzburg" |
