A few more dishes have come from the kitchen and boy were they fun to make! I have been extra, preoccupied with red wine these days. No, I am not consuming it from a glass. Rather, I am giving penne pasta or tomato sauce an extra kick with a half cup or so of poised grapes! Wine and wine vinegar have been new adventures for me and it makes me feel more Italian and more experienced with each drop. The three dishes below are all inspirations from summer that have a dash of wine or red wine vinegar to zest and life.
David, Tootsie and I also recently went to Huber Farms and did some Blackberry and Blueberry picking. The day was full of fun and laughter (hear more about it on my life blog: "my life in light of grace"). The result was an orange and blackberry wine reduction sauce for my seared Pork Chops! I love the way that food allows you to mix things together to create a whole new taste. This means that creations are nearly infinite. Anything that is nearly infinite is worth discovering. So, for a peek into the world of wine cooking, berry picking, and Italian summer churading, see pictures below!
