What's the wine tonight?



Tonight we are having a delicious Villa Antinori Chianti Classico with dinner tonight.

One tip about your sauce. When you pick the wine to use in the sauce please use a good wine. Remember you are eating it for crying out loud! So maybe crack the first bottle and use a glass to debride the pan while you are sipping and cooking.

I like a dry red for sauce. I think it brings the best flavor. Of course when I cook chicken or fish a nice white works best. To each his own of course. Spinelli will try to preach to you the virtues of muscatel but you should leave that to him on his stakeout.

Oh the menu tonight.

Baked breaded chicken cutlets with fresh mozzarella melted on top.
A salad with fresh red onion, black olives, walnuts, riccota salada cheese and cucumbers.
A lentil and pasta soup with guyere cheese grated on top.
The wine.
Strawberries and blue berries covered in whipped cream for desert.

It cost me $40k to debride. But I'm not bitter, mind you...

Sounds fab.

I think I mentioned this before but I like to fart in aisles in stores.

Tonight I was at Whole Foods in Cambridge-combine Whole Foods and Cambridge and you have the most unbelievably liberal people on the continent.

So how I do it is sneak through an aisle no one is in. Let the fart percolate, squat and then spray it. I let it stew and do some wafting on the organic products. I wait until I see someone coming and then I split but run around the tofu and peak behind the brie to see their reaction. Tonight the victim was a yuppie bitch mommy with fab baby carriage who had her nose up so high in the air. As she was hit by the fart fumes she had this disgusted look on her face and bolted from the aisle. It was pure bliss.

Thank you.

I send you a nice bottle of wine and you bust my balls about vino. You are quite the motivator. What are the Vegas odds I'll ever send you another bottle?

Titus said...

Sometimes I will run back in the aisle and walk by and then look at them and look disgusted as if they did it.

Simple pleasures in life my fellow patriots.

MamaM said...

Titus, if you'd let a teeny tiny dribble of urine leak out along with the fart, the next person down the aisle might simultaneously smell gas, slip and bust ass.

A two fer one deal at the grocery always draws a crowd of eager clippers, slippers and savers, with you in total charge of the Bliss!

Titus said...

Mamam you always know what to say but I don't expose myself in public unless it is behind a stall and with a ferner.


But love you Mamam.

And thanks for the recome for future opps.

Titus said...

And mamam I can not let out teeny sprays. My sprays are incredibly strong and masculine and patriotic. No wimpy urinal drips here. I am proud of my piss stream and the sound it makes in the lou. I attribute it to my long veral hog.

chickelit said...

"veral", truth be told, sounds like a cross between feral and viral.

MamaM said...

Shoot Titus! Think of the damage a long and fulsome stream would do. Not one, but dozens of shoppers in the same aisle wallowing and groaning on the floor under a cloud of fume. The sound of your liquid release would draw them like flies to the slippage, then BOOM!! Floor Carnage with "Cleanup in Aisle 3" on the PA as the cherry on the orgasmic Sunday, Monday or whatever day you choose for this Super Market Experience.

The wine you use for sauce you also drink while you are cooking. It is the chef's bottle. Win win.

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...

This is a good wine and not too expensive...

Titus said...

I have to admit Mamam-you have peaked my interest....the question is the planning and can I pull it off??? I would prefer not to whip out my hog in the store-perhaps I could piss in a bottle before I go to the store and then just splash it all over the floor?

So...what are you saying?? Two Buck Chuck isn't going to get it???

One of the Dumbplumber's clients, a retired stockbroker, gave us a bottle of 2002 Marilyn Merlot as a thank you for doing a job on New Year's Eve. I'm saving it for a special occasion in the spring.

I also like to add a bit of a good red wine vinegar along with a bit of sugar in my marinara sauce.

My interest in this peaked very early.

It's decline precipitously since then.

When I write about the restaurant Incognito I mentioned the goat cheese raviolis that you were going to try DBQ. Well the chef cooks it in this balsamic vinegar sauce that I am trying to duplicate. Instead of using the red wine try a nice balsamic. I cut down on the sugar because that will be sweet enough with the sweet vinegar. I will try it out and let you know.

Trooper York said...

Nicky, Nicky you are so sensitive buddy.

When you come to New York I am going to have to cook you a Busted Rice Ball special to make amends.

The Dude said...

New computer here - still not used to it, Windows 8 sucks, but what do I do? Find this website and comment - that's just sad.

Trooper York said...

No it's not Sixty.

It would be sad if the first thing you did was download Japanese porn like Spinelli.

Now that's some sick shit.

blake said...

Mmmm. Sushi.

What, you didn't mean Japanese food porn?

chickelit said...

Speaking of whine, I wonder what it will be tonight over there? Unless it's good, I'm staying away. Three nights of a row is just too much.

Trooper York said...

Hey when you are the meat in an Inga/Ritmo sandwich you need to rethink your on-line habits. Just sayn'

This post made me think. Who do I want to be Steve Jobs or Trooper:

Steve Jobs - teetotaler, vegetarian, and dead at 50. Probably in Hell.

Trooper - Bon vivant, lover of wine, women and good writing.

Tough choice.
