Cooked for real for the first time in 50 days. NY Strip Tagliata, Tonatto, Haricot Verts, Crispy Red Potatoes day 1, Char Grilled Swordfish Fish Steaks in a Lemon Basil Buerre Blanc, and grilled asparagus day 2, Grilled Cauliflower Steaks and Tonnato with sauteed yellow squash and zucchini day 3, and Blackened Shrimp and Grits with seared scallops with Lemon Basil Buerre Blanc day 4.
The Buerre Blanc requires 3/4 cups of Pinot Grigio along with white wine vinegar and shallots... 2 cups of liquid reduced to 2 Tbls. Then I poured the rest of the bottle down the drain.
I can't remember the last time I cooked without drinking, and I never poured almost a whole bottle of wine down the drain. It felt really good to do both.
