Saturday night’s menu....


Firehouse Chicken Cacciatore on white rice. The wife and I watched an episode of Throwdown with Bobby Flay, in which the challenge was against a fireman whose cacciatore had won 1st place in some contest, national recognition etcetera....So after watching the fireman thoroughly beat Bobby Flay, we thought we'd get on line and give the recipe a try.

It was the best I had ever tasted. Instead of red, you use a white wine in the sauce. A little saffron and wow! We used a 2002 Drake Hudsen chardonnay. A cheap wine; perfect for cooking in a sauce.


Wine: Robert Mondovi Private selection 2001 Merlot I bought from Costco in a 4 bottle variety pack for $30 about three years ago.


Both the food and wine were absolutely DELICIOUS! I suggest you go online get the recipe and try both.
