    I agree! When I use red wine in a marinade, I always reduce it to get rid of the alchohol.

      And, of course, I drink the other half of the bottle before the dish gets to the table.

        Well, it'd be a shame to waste it... Don't forget to have another bottle breathing ready for the meal...

        Btw, I've just caught my cat drinking my Baileys night-cap! So, must go and kick the crap out of him!

        Ciao!

          Left overs

          Toss it all in the bin along with all the clothes that are no longer needed and rejoice that not a single immigrant/asylum seeker or third world ponse benefited from any of it.

                I rarely have any left overs because I cunningly don't cook at all over Christmas - this year I was with the boyf's family Xmas Day and at my parents on Boxing Day. No cooking, no washing up, no left overs - it all gets dealt with by whoever I'm visiting! Superb!

                  No, ponce is the correct spelling whether you're american or not. I like a good factoid, so here goes: originally a ponce was somebody who drummed up trade for prostitutes.

                    Actually...

                    "Alfonse" meant someone who drummed up trade for prostitutes.

                    Now there was a "Ponce de Alfonse"

                    the rest is left as an exercise for the reader...
