Heading to a party where there will be lots of wine, and not sure what to take? How about some simple savory cookies - biscotti and sables made for wine pairing?
Just about this time last year we went looking for corned beef - or actually the raw brisket with which we could make homemade corned beef. In our neighborhood, we had a couple of options - buy the pre-pack stuff from Safeway that already had pickling spices in it, or pay a mint and buy a chunk of brisket from Whole Foods. We decided to just stay away.
