FWIW I occasionally have urinary tract issues and open up a big jug of anberry juice and have a couple glasses a day. I see results within hours. A word of caution.... cranberry cocktail is pretty high in sugar. You can get straight cranberry juice. It isn't jeep, and it is pretty hard to take without something to mellow it out. |

With vodka I heard it's called a Cape Cod! I can get stinky drunk on those because after one or two they start tasting like water! Dangerously so!! John Kuthe... |

You're Canadian by way of Britain and you're taking it far too literally. Julia was an American talking to other Americans who were still shaking off Puritanism and Prohibition... she was referring to cooking wine vs. drinking wine. Cooking wine is a thin, cheap base wine to which salt and food coloring have been added. At the grocery store, it is found in the same section as vinegar, not in the liquor department. Julia was simply telling people not to cook with a salty wine they can't drink. > I had a cookbook that had a recipe for Duck Margaux. That is a duck > casserole where the cooking wine was a whole bottle of Chateau Margaux. > That wine often goes for around $1000 per bottle!! Might as well a flush wine like that down the toilet. > I let that book go with my ex when we split:-) > Graham Good move. -- sf |
