Thread of What You've Eaten, Cooked and/or Drunk Lately

[calibuck]

Just got back from the coast, belated 35th anniversary. Had some good meals in Cambria, and on one night, wifey and I weren't too hungry (nibbles with wine tasting at some good places. Anyway, waited in line for Sea Chest, excellent seafood restaurant, got shut out on a table, but person ahead of us told us about a good chowder place in town. Went there, and had an excellent clam chowder, and some sourdough. Ate our fill, and saved $150 (which we spent on wine the next day).

I have decided to finally try and figure out how to make consistently good pie crusts. Keep my sanity in your thoughts as I embark on this journey

Use Crisco in your crust.

A few weeks ago I had to make a sauce that kind of requires a wine reduction so I bought a $4.99 bottle of moscato and there's still a half a bottle. here goes nothing..

Use Crisco in your crust.

Lard is even better.
