Another one of my friends is a foodie-she likes food, she likes to cook food, she likes to read cookbooks. She sent me a recipe this week in an email titled "Damn, this is GOOD!" Note the lovely cooking dribbles on it. Those are indications of a well loved recipe. I have chicken, I have wine. Guess what we are having for dinner tonight?
PS-I received a comment that indicated that this recipe was from "The Bridge" series of Canadian cookbooks, which are not well known in my part of the US. I've linked this post to their website.

Mmmmmm... I always use cheap wine for cooking! I know those cooking shows say to always use the best wine you can afford, but in that case, it's going in my mouth, not the pot!
Oh, I am planning to use the best free wine I can afford in this!

Foodie friend checking in here. Interesting recipe. I see something about 1/2 c. of butter (1 stick)- how can that plus wine be bad?? Pick a wine, irregardless of cost (although Trish clearly watches some of the shows that I do that say pick the best you can afford) that you like the flavor of because it'll concentrate as it cooks. Does this mean that you'll be joining the ranks of the cook book reading sometime soon? Let me know, I'll send over some classic titles! ;)
Oh, this is not a problem, Bri, I have plenty. BTW, this recipe is Les'!
Hey, I want a wine friend like that!! But I guess I shouldn't complain. On the other side of my kitchen wall is a shelf of reds and whites I can grab at any time (we have a general store and can sell booze- parties here are good!)
Let me know how the chicken was!

I love those Best of Bridge cookbooks. We get a lot of our favorites from those. I've got to send you a fantabulous recipe for a wine peppercorn sauce to serve over steak. I have a friend who is friends with a chef. He teaches her things, and she passes them along to me.
