And re: coq au vin, thank you for that idea. It reminds me of my childhood, a special meal we only occasionally had. I guess I will be buying some white wine for the first time in my life sometime soon.
ETA: Does Trader Joe's have a white Two Buck Chuck or does that only come in red?
The first time I ever had a donut with bacon on it was in Salt Lake City when they opened the S-Line streetcar. I don't think I've had one since.
My mother made coq au vin earlier this year for the first time and it came out great. Last night that was what they had at the JFK Centurion Lounge and it wasn't as good but it was still very tasty.
