corks

[PinotEnvy]

Thanks for the advice. I will look into corkscrews. It would have been a shame to have ruined the wine. It was the best one in my small collection. A 2001 Tori Mor (sp?) Pinot Noir. Very fruitful flavor. So far my favorite that I have had. Also, it was the first one I've ever opened that I had paid more than $14 (it was about $25). I now see why it was more. It was indeed worth it.

The food came out marvelous. She was indeed impressed. She complimented me on it throughout the evening.

I cooked a couple filet mignon steaks slowly over mesquite charcoal. They were seasoned with a combination of Lowry's seasond salt, garlic powder and italian seasonings. I made a couple sweet potatos and asparagus. Topped it all off with some home made apple crisp (thanks to mom for the recepie!) for desert. I only wish I had time to make my homemande cinimon ice cream to go with it.
