gettin fancy with the spices

Such a great flick, Ratatouille. Anyway, Panchette is coming to town, and that gives me an excuse to cook!

I forget that I love cooking, esp French food, and the dinner du jour is Coq au Vin. Sadly, I'm out of cognac, so I can't cook it with flair (I love setting food on fire), but I've got a nice bottle of 2 buck Chuck and am drinking a hefty glass of it as the food simmers for an hour. Yes, I know it's against medic's orders (due to my dehydration woes this weekend), but one simply can't have French food without wine. I'll chase it down with 3 glasses of water, I promise.

For dessert, it's bananas foster on Ben and Jerry's (mmmm vanilla organic). That one I do get to ignite. Yipee!
