There are devices for sale which allow one
to create a vacuum in a bottle
of wine in
order to preserve it after it's been opened.
We believe that
such devices should be
prohibited because, if you open a bottle of
wine
and you don’t finish it, you don’t
deserve it.
2 to 3 Idaho potatoes
1 inch of butter
1/4 cup of heavy cream
7 or 8 cloves of garlic, minced
salt and
freshly ground white peppercorns
Peel the potatoes and plunk them whole in
already boiling water. Boil for
20-25 minutes
or until they are tender the whole way
through.
Drain the potatoes. In the same pot, add half
of the butter and heat it. Fry
the garlic for
two minutes, then turn the heat off. Add the
potatoes and
the rest of the butter. Also add
the salt and pepper.
Mash a bit in order to melt the butter. Then
add the cream bit by bit while
mashing until
they are an acceptable consistency.
Serves 2, preferably with a main dish of
some sort.
