Okay. I'll confess. I don't have a liquor cabinet. I don't spend my evenings reclining in a red smoking jacket with a glass of bourbon. I'm not that cool. I've never aspired to be cool, so this doesn't really hurt my self-image much. *Grin.*
What I do have around here...hnh. An unopened champagne bottle left over from my wedding several years ago. And a lone can of Guinness rolling around the back of the fridge for the next time I make beef stew.
My interest in alcohol is roughly equivalent to my interest in crocheting. Which is to say...I do it once in awhile. Not sure how much I enjoy it, and it feels a little lopsided.
I will confess that I have, at one time, attempted to wash my hair with beer because I heard that hops yields volume. My hair was slightly bouncier, but I smelled like a drunk.
Yeah. I know. I'm no fun. That's all right. But my beef stew kicks ass. This is quite similar to the recipe I use, only I throw all the stuff in the crock pot: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/beef-and-guinness-stew-recipe2/index.html
Anybody else care to share their alcohol-based recipes? Marsala sauce, anyone? Beef bourguignon? Irish soda bread?
