I whipped up some Hungarian Veal Paprikash last night with a Bogle Merlot & Ecco Dommani Chianti (both good candidates for the cheap red thread). The Bogle stole the show though.

well....the bottom third of the merlot & the top third of the Chianti. I DO have to go to work @ 3am.

We pan-seared some scallops, broiled some baby asparagus and sauteed some haricot verts. The wife and my Mom washed it down with a Sauvignon Blanc while I drained beers, as usual.

pan-seared scallops is one of my fave dishes...it's easy to make a nice sauce too...once the scallops are done, remove from them from the pan, add some chopped shallots and cook for a bit (add a bit more oil or butter if the pan gets too dry and some of the stuck-on bits starts to brown too much), then deglaze w/ fresh-squeezed lemon juice and white wine. reduce as necessary.

Bogle makes a good Petite Sirah too...

I had cote du porc a la charcutiere tonight. The pork chops were so so (I was in a hurry and had to go boneless, last time I do that...) but I actually licked the sauce off the plate. Damn, that was good.

Fancy french name for porkchops with a pan sauce, eh?

With the exception of the lemon juice (which I dislike on seafood), that's exactly what I did. Damned tasty.

no lemon on seafood? that's heresy!
