Cooking without alcohol...

[suziquzie]

Dang this is HARD!!!!
I always have a drink or 2 when cooking. I'm trying to stop that. It's alot of extra calories and I was starting to worry it was a habit.
I think it may be cuz WOW I am about to load up the family truckster for a run to the LQ...... :whistle::whistle::whistle:

Start worrying when it is a bottle or two.

I agree with you Joe. Two bottles of gin is a tad over the top. :dizzy:

[suziquzie]

um...... what size are these bottles? :)

[buzzard767]

1.75 lt. Cheaper that way.

You'll know that you're overdoing it when the family starts complaining about the food! :yuk:

[homecook]

I guess I'm safe then........no one has complained about the food yet. But then again I haven't cooked in the past week. How about you suzi???????????

When you are cooking does the amount of alcohol you consume have any relation to the amount you are adding to the dish you are preparing?

I'm thinking of Justin Wilson again. I've seen him add wine, take a sip, then another sip, and finish up by pouring most of the bottle in the stock pot. :mrgreen:

I always have a couple drinks or glasses of wine while I'm cooking. It get's my Mojo going.

However, if you feel concerned that it becomes a habit for you, then do what you feel is best. :thumb:

Myself I am never tempted, but then I can't generally have alcohol. My personal opinion is be wary of anything that becomes a habit, they are hard to break.

LOL well I like to have a drink while i'm cooking too.... sometimes loose track of the meal though.... there is a bar with takeout a block away so its dangerous because they have long hours and are within stumblin distance...

I figure it's not a problem 'til I start pouring brandy on my wheaties in the morning.....

Suzi, isn't that what they call the breakfast of champions? :yum::yum::yum::yum::yum:

[Rusty Shackleford]

wow. couldnt imagin it. anytime im cooking, theres always a beer in hand. or no more than an arms length away.

[PieSusan]

When one bakes and drinks one risks serious burns. I never felt the two went hand in hand. One has to watch what one is baking too closely. (I speak from experience, too)

[Lefty]

I like to have some beer when I'm cooking chili from scrath. Beside that I hardly drink at home.

I think beer would go better with Wheaties.... or Cherios....:alc:

Save the brandy for the granola cereals!:clap:

[Miniman]

Have you ever watched any of Keith Floyds cooking shows, now there was a man who liked a drink while he was cooking (and not much into the dish!!)

[GrantsKat]

Oh yeah!! a little granola with dried cranberries.....hmm the brandy would reconstitute them nicely!!!:shock::smile:


Ok maybe not such a good idea....we may have to call you suziWOOZIE.....

[suziquzie]

I think I've heard that one before.... but I cant remember cuz I had too much to drink!!!!
