Today I decided to address a problem I've had with drinking, and that problem has been my unexplainable avoidance of porto. So, to address the problem, I purchased a bottle of Cockburn's Fine Tawny Porto, straight from Gaia Portugal.
Chefed up some French onion soup this evening, using some of Cockburn's porto in the recipe. I also used some damn good imported Swiss Gruyere as well (no French-style Gruyere to speak of, Pepe), shredding it and applying heaps to the hot soup. Good stuff when outdoors it's -11 F (at least the temp at 8:15pm). I've been texting various friends to bring me another bottle of porto (as you can see the first is now a dead soldier).
Back to some Mencken for the evening...
