*Important tip* If you are on the clock and need your wine chilled immediately, just put a teaspoon or two of salt in the ice bath along with some water, and in about 2 minutes, your wine is chilled! This makes my life a lot easier, especially after a crazy workday.
•Crocodile Salad: This recipe comes from Nigella’s cookbook; Nigella Feast. I love this salad, mainly because I love pickled gherkins— so I always have them in my fridge— and I love any recipe that uses lots of parsley. This also goes really well with some chicken breast tossed on top of it.
•The Chopping: I chopped the cucumbers and parsley really finely, just because I find it fun to use the mezzaluna, but I sometimes leave the big chunks of them sprinkled on top of the salad.
•The Dressing for the Salad: Very light, savory dressing. The recipe calls for the gherkin brine in place of the ‘acid component’ of the dressing, which boosts the flavor of the pickled gherkins.
•Setting the Table: My favorite part!
•The ‘Wine Aerator’: I got it from my boyfriend that day, and we had to try it as soon as I opened the box. This small device works as an immediate decanter. The assembly was pretty straightforward, and when I poured a glass, the top surface was really bubbly. (—so I guess IT IS working in some way!) Let me try a few more times, and get back on the feedback, I want to try it on several red wines.
