Haven't read the whole thread but Marsala...and butter...will make a good sauce....
also Jeanie here is a easy chili recipe...
Hamburger...Seasoned while cooking with some Garlic Powder, Chili Powder, Cumin, Salt and Pepper... when cooked drain...
add some Kidney Beans from two or three cans..
and here' s the secret ingrediant.... one large bottle of v-8 Juice...
put all together... let cook for awhile together... add some more chili powder and cumin...might need some salt to taste...try it out and let me know...
Have you ever tried a new recipe and it was HORRIBLE??? I fixed Chicken Marsala tonight, and it was really NOT GOOD. I don't have any wine, and didn't really want to walk around the local grocery store with a bottle, so I had read online that you could use unsweetened red grape juice and you couldn't tell the difference. Well, someone lied! It was awful - no flavor and very pink and gooey. At least the other stuff was good - roasted parmesan potatoes and broccoli. And I made an Apple Crunch dessert, so I kind of redeemed myself. I just hate it when you spend all that time and then it's YUCKY! Glad I didn't spend a lot of money too.
Anyone else want to share a failure story and make me feel better?
LOL! Sherri, there have been more times than I care to recount of sitting down at the table, taking one bite, and walking to the garbage then to the phone to order pizza!
You cant be a good cook unless you learn what NOT to do! That is my moto!
You really cant cook Marsalla without Marsala. you can use a Medera, a port, or a sherry and get a good flavor (in fact i did it this week with a medera and it was great)
I dont recomend using cooking wine but really it is better than nothing at all I suppose.

When Walt was in the rehab center recovering after his aneurism, my boys called one day to ask if they could put together a box pizza mix they found in the cupboard. I told them yes. Keith called me later. He was LIVID! He was furious because "Justin took a perfectly good pizza and ruined it by putting chocolate bars on it before he baked it"
LOL

My daughter (11 years old) messed up a recipe this past Thanksgiving.
We were making pumpkin rolls.
As most of you know there are 2 recipes to a pumpkin roll... The pumpkin bread part and then another recipe for the cream cheese filling to put on it before you roll it up like a jelly roll.
Well... She just put it all in there (including a block and a half of cream cheese) and cooked it up.
Let me say it like this.... she got the recipe wrong but there wasn't anything wrong with what resulted.
MAN... that was one moist and tasty cookie sheet sized piece of flat pumpkin bread I have ever tasted. LOL

Great story, I hope she got lots of praise.

Buy some Kosher wine and people will think you are buying it for communion or passover,it proably would work for cooking as nobody drinks it to get stoned. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosher_wine
