meant "play". darn all those psychology classes and CIA for dummies.

Thank you for the direction. I just went to the Europe board and learned about Mimi's husband. If you read this Mimi...we are having a Grand Aioli here tomorrow evening complete with magnums of Bandol Domaine Tempier Rose. I will lift a glass to you and your dear husband and hold a thought of Provence awaiting the return of you both.

Does the peach ice cream really call for sour cream and not whipping cream or heavy cream? How interesting and tasty! Thanks!!!

Yes---it gives it more "body" and a refreshing slightly tart taste. You can use "light" sour cream (or yogurt, I suppose, but then it would be frozen yogurt and the texture totally different).

This has bbecome my favorite Fourth of July food (but that's a different thread. . )

PamSF,
Nice wine. Love R. Kacher's Roses from SW FR.
We're having an early Independence Day celebration dinner here as Sunday is election day and all stores and restaurants are not permitted to sell wine.
The '04 Porta Grand Reserve Pinot Noir (Bio Bio Valley, Chile) will accompany our grilled filete de reys, burgers and brats (such as they are).

Annsherrod, The USNA is saving a place for your sailor.

Icuy, the several million $ gain on the house sale will compensate.

Absolute Rave: finding Fodor's (over three years now...) where you don't have to explain the yearning for hiking Swiss mountains, strolling through Parisian streets, standing in a Spanish bar for the best coffee ever and sipping Chianti (or Brunello) in an Italian Piazza....
