Scrawled, more like!
Oh GOOD, because I discovered that my Boss's sox threw the second copy out as
dupes, from what I can work out!
Yes, it is, because it's pretty irritating HAVING to reply to everything so
that the original sender knows that their letter got read. No thread will
ever finish like that! Still let's hope that things will get better.
You know you're very welcome.
I've never been away, neither from here nor from Cooking, I just limited
myself to writing here for a while. Thanks for the friendly comment though.
I have to give a yodel of delight, though, because we've finally finished
work on the wine cellar. I bought the house next door (the brothers Salles
made us an offer we couldn't refuse) mainly because of the cellar, and then
decided we had to do something to justify the expense. So after converting
the house to be able to do 3 rooms B&B, we finally managed to get round to
revamping the cellar. It had been too damp - as I wrote to ML, and it was
pretty tacky too. So we :-
stripped off the crumbling rendering from the stone walls and filled the
joints with a pale pinky mortar that would breathe.
Cast a concrete plinth all round the cellar that would both support the walls
- which were built before the age of foundations and also provide a suitable
support for our wine racks etc.
Built a false wall in breeze blocks to reduce moisture seeping through the
end wall of the cellar.
Set 34 hollow cement blocks to be used in pairs to store bottles (2 1/2 dozen
per pair)
Cleaned up the floor before laying about 2" of gravel to control humidity.
Lastly, resorted all our wines to enable me to create an accurate winelist,
showing where every wine is stored.
All the Best

cook it!
Like it!
Great, thanks very much, it's safely snagged and I'll try it out asap. I may
have to substitute for the chinese sausage, possibly with our local butcher's
dried sausage, which can't be too far different. I'm not sure about patis,
however we have some Dutch Indonesian friends and I'll ask Jacquie to ask
them about it when she goes to teach them french next Monday.

assistant: Well, congratulations!  That is wonderful news indeed, and sounds like
a very time consuming as well as costly effort.  Though my palate is
grieviously unsophisticated and I confess to a great ignorance when it
comes to wine, I *do* understand the necessity of proper storage.  I
must admit, though, that when you and Michael start discussing wine,
you lose me.  :-)
I am curious, however, how a wine cellar can be...well, _tacky_.  I'm
assuming that you don't mean "tacky" in the textural sense...that is,
clinging to the fingertips when touched...but rather in the aethetic
sense.  I've always thought of cellars as rather dark chambers lined
with racks of bottles, and held to a constant humidity and temperature.
Do people actually decorate winecellars?

Write your reply.

assistant: I did a quick Filefind and to my chagrin I don't have a recipe for
Chinese sausage. Basically, though, it's pork cubed small, combined
with cubed pork fat in equal quantity, stuffed into narrow sausage
casing, and air dried. It's generally cut on the bias, so you can see
the marblings of lean red-colored (nitrited, I believe) meat and almost
transparent fat. One difference between the Chinese sausage and a
saucisse seche is that the former is seasoned quite heavily with sugar.
If patis turns out not to be fish sauce, let me know (I've always
assumed that that was what it was).
