Dinner tonight

I'd like to try to start writing what my meals are... when they aren't just something from a box.

Tonight we're having:

Mixed greens with bleu d'Auvergne, some walnuts, and a raspberry vinaigrette

Bucatini tossed with an olive oil (Eric Martin's) from Provence, a melange of wild mushrooms sauteed with onions, chopped tomatoes, and some grated Pecorino Romano.

French baguette

Total time to prepare should be less than half an hour.

Last night we had:

Walnuts
Pecorino Romano
Raspberries
Whole Wheat crackers
bottle of Chianti (not Classico)

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Allergic to Sulfites in wine?

If you think you are allergic to sulfites in wine and really want to find out if you are or are instead having a reaction to the histamines that exist in wines, eat a serving of dried apricots (about 5). That serving has the same amount of sulfites as wine. If you don't react, you're not allergic.

PS -- This blog is going to become very food focused now.
