I hardly ever open my liquor cabinet anymore. There was a time when everyone drank mixed drinks and cordials (you can tell how long ago that was by the usage of that word). Yeah, I know ‘cocktails’ have made a comeback but, somewhere along the line, I became a wine purist (white, red or sparkling, but no hard liquor) — and most of my guests did too.

In fact, my calendar is quite full between now and the end of the year so I will have plenty of festivities to share with you as we approach 2012.

I may be the last person on the planet to know kale and lentils work well together. According to google, that combo has been done…in soups, stews, sautes, pilafs, pastas, curried, etc.
That’s a comeuppance. I thought I was creating something new. Continue Reading
