I LOVE liver and onions, but I'm the ONLY one in the family who does. Once, when we were just married, SSQ's Mom and Dad came down for a visit. They took us out to eat, and I saw Liver and Onions on the menu and was thrilled! So was SSQ's Dad because he loved it too, and SSQ's Mom detested it, so she never cooked it for him. The two of us sat there in hog heaven eating our meals!

SSQ wants to know what brand of cholesterol medicine you buy. He's got genetic high cholesterol, and doesn't want to do the meds either.

I buy Woodbridge Red Zinfandel. Let me see if I can find the article for him to read. According to the article the best is a Zinfandel with about a 16% alcohol. Woodbridge is slightly more that 15%.

But I'm game to try making my own...the Woodbridge is about $7 a bottle and making my own comes out to less than $2 a bottle. And according to OT, I can get the alcohol content higher, but I don't know how...I suppose I'll figure it out.

Ok, here's another article that references the article I originally found...

Zinfandel Takes On Cholesterol

I drink 4oz, which is what I believe you said was a serving...4-6oz. If I drink more than four ounces, it affects me adversely...the histamines give me a headache and I feel woozy.

The problem with that is, it takes me about a week to drink a whole bottle if I drink it every night, which I rarely do. So it really does start tasting stale...a kind of overbearing flavor. The stuff don't taste that great (to me) in the first place, I hate it toward the end of the bottle.

Which leads me to all the more consider making my own and possibly storing it in beer bottles! (g'nad's beer gave me the idea.) That way it would stay fresh and corked till almost right when I need it...a beer bottle holding 3 days worth of wine.

I'm just thinking all the time about stuff! LOL!
