Pan-friend yams

Filed under: Chicago, Dining In, Drink, Recipes, Waverly — Ben @ 2:46 pm

Followed the recipe that Grace used. I made the following modifications: used yams instead of sweet potatoes; didn’t peel the yam; used fresh garlic; tossed more often to prevent over-blackening; used iodized salt instead of kosher salt. Click the photo to see the whole slideshow.

Wine of the week

Filed under: Baltimore, Dining In, Drink, Wine — Grace @ 4:52 pm

One person drinking a bottle of wine is difficult for me. It takes me about a week. Good thing I have a nice vacuum pump.

This week’s wine was chosen because of its screw top (I didn’t feel like uncorking the other bottle of Merlot that Ben bought me).

2008 Gotham Cabernet Sauvignon

The color is very dark. Fruit flavor. I like it! No bitter aftertaste or weird woody/plastic-y complexity. I would buy this Australian wine again.
