What's with the girl's legs up in the air like that? She must be doing some morning exercise before that breakfast.

I was never much of a Sherry drinker so I didn't even know it was discontinued.

I'll have what she's having.

I would sip on sherry while my friends were still on Martini's.

Are you referring to the stuff I add to my spaghetti sauce? It invests the final brew with a slight sweetness and noticeably knocks back (no pun intended) the acidic index of the sauce.

It would certainly add sweetness. I cook with fortified wines a lot, mainly amontillado Sherry (not as sweet as Shooting Sherry but much more robust than a fino), Marsala, and Madeira. For generic spaghetti sauce like a marinara I usually go the other direction and use a bright white to amp up the acidity. The idea of a sweet Sherry in a red sauce is intriguing. I may just give it a try! Thanks!

A chef I once met said that almost anything can be improved with a shot or two of dry sherry. I fully concur.

Right now I am drinking a beer from the Lonerider Brewery.

I thought you add spaghetti sauce to it?

I'm really ready to go back to Paris.
