And may I add:.....
I’m tired of paying $40 for a $10 bottle of wine.
Have a “modest” bottle of wine at home and get a better entree for less $.
Learn a little bit about sauces and marinades and you can make an ordinary entree into something pretty nice for not a whole of money.
when it comes to sauces, one has to be patient, especially if you need to reduce it. most people don’t have that type of patience in the kitchen.
