(This is for Thursday - a bit behind, I know)
Attempted to make a pasta with a white whine cheese cream sauce. Did not work. Ended up not cooking off the wine enough and then overcompensating with cheese. I then tried to boil off more of the alcohol, thus making my sauce into a nice, cheesy paste. Interesting-tasting, to put it nicely. I of course seasoned my bell peppers and broccoli well, thus making up for a small fraction of the horrible taste, but it still came nowhere close to making up for the paste.
Hopefully will have more luck in the future... got a Tikki Masala sauce on sale from Sainsbury's, so we'll see if this is any good at all.

Well, kiddo, I happen to know something about cooking, and I can say with confidence that I have never had much luck with whine sauces.
(Had to poke fun at your typo...!)
Cheese is tricky too. Sometimes it melts evenly, but most of the time not. Let's just say your choice of sauce was ambitious for any chef. Of course, for years I've heard people say you don't travel to England for the food!
Be good, stay safe, have fun!
Love,
Dad
P.S. Go Irish!! MSU is toast...
Hey, just checked the Thames Festival photos and the fireworks shots are GREAT! You obviously remembered the tricks we learned at the camera class! Sweet!
Love,
Dad
Haley,
Sounds like, between you and your Dad, we're going to eat very well in the coming years!
When your running late...try my favorite sandwich!
PEANUT BUTTER WITH BANANA SLCES ( and then
you can pour on that whine sauce)
Miss you and love you much.--Grandpa
Haley,
What a thrill it is in reading your email and thinking about your daily schedules with work, fun and classes.
Your a special Granddaughter to be able to participate in this adventure in London. Your photo's are super, keep it up 'cause we will have
MANY slide shows when you return.
Our love to you always...We thank our Lord daily for the special blessing's He's given you.
Enjoy, Grandma
Hah, thanks for pointing that out, everyone... I guess typing "white wine" as opposed to just "wine" threw me off because of "white" having the wh in front.
Grandpa, I've actually thought of doing the peanut butter banana sandwich before, but haven't gotten the bananas yet to make it. Will have to let you know when I do though!
And Grandma, thanks so much : ) I'm sure I'll have an incredibly long slideshow, heh.
