Ive definitely seen / bought small bottles - its more a price factor. Ill sacrifice a $2 buck chuck for a meal more willingly than a $4 small bottle; this is partly why Ive used cooking wine.
plus that checkout factor - if Trader Joes had self-checkout, then I couldnt buy any wine there. This is why I wont get wine at Safeway or Costco, although both places dont carry anything as cheap as $2 bottles. Actually I dont even know if 2 buck chuck is even still available :-)

Problem is that I normally bring back about 4 litres (just under a gallon) from our annual visits to Tokyo - ridiculously cheap there - and go through it over the year. Had to cancel our last trip and have been making do with decent - but HEAVILY discounted - Sherry. Dont use wine as it goes off much more quickly.

I dont make fish tacos but Japanese sake is a given with any fish I make. If its not used to marinade the fish, it will feature in the cooking seasonings, and even in a cream stew/chowder it will end up in the white sauce.

Dinner tonight was in the PHX Admirals Club, after flying to the Midwest and back this weekend.
Made to order guac, mac and cheese with bacon, and a tossed salad. Nothing but water to drink, as I had a few IPAs in route.

I have decided I don't care enough. We have all given him multiple suggestions & I am done. I am filing it under why he lets a kid decide what food adults are allowed to eat and why he can have cooked pork but not raw. I wonder if the kid realizes that all cooked pork was raw at one time.

Tonight's dinner was chicken with a garlic marinade, topped with parmesan cheese, served with mixed veggies. After watching the first quarter of the Steelers game, I decided to bake and now have most of a pan of chocolate fudge brownies and a pan of Rice Krispies Treats (not really baking for those).
