    White (dry) vermouth is great for braising and deglazing. It lasts a long time in the fridge. Longer than white wine for me. I haven't tried it in pasta/fish sauces, but regularly use it for pork chops and chicken.
    Try using a potato masher for whole tomatoes if using your hands isn't appealing. Careful to avoid the squirt!

    That vegie stir-fry mix hits the spot for me. I love bok choy. I get the baby bok choy and steam it like I do most vegies. Interested in the apricot/cardamon spread. The cardamon will cut the sweetness of the apricots. Don't think I've had sundried apricots since I was a child. Used to spend some of my 1950s childhood summers in the Santa Clara Valley, which was all apricot orchards. They would lay out the 'cots to dry on pallets. All gone now and the Valley is now called Silicon Valley.

    Shopped at TJs today and saw the 19 crimes Martha Stewart on the shelf with no price posted. When I asked the cashier to check to price his eyes bugged out at the $1.99 price.said I’d get another bottle and be right back. lol. I also picked up up two bottles of the diamond reserve cab..so I have a nice range to try. Thanks for the recommendations.

    I was intrigued by the mango sticky rice crisps, but figured I'd wait to see what you guys thought before buying it. I'm going to venture to say that you probably liked the Dark Chocolate Dipped French Butter Cookies. I took my niece and nephew to TJ's the other day, and they talked me into buying them some. They shared one with me, and they were good. Can't wait to hear how your tomato sauce turns out.

    I visited my store very early this morning in order to avoid the worst of the heat, and had the same reaction to the new Jicama slaw. I was all excited until I picked it up. Not only did it look & feel half full, but the veggies looked so sad, that I actually turned the carton around to make sure it wasn't somehow outdated!
    I chose to put it back on the shelf. I hope it tastes better than it looks!
