Food & Drink - 15 December 2006

I'm sure wine drinkers here can appreciate my problem. I like to drink wine, but every now and again, I'll find that the wine has reacted with the cork, resulting in an unpleasant tasting wine. This is, as I have found, is an unpleasant but unavoidable chance occurance when using genuine cork. Some winemakers are avoiding this by using synthetic corks, but on some of the more pricy wines, this is less common. I'm starting to get into pricier wines and was wondering, is there a way to tell before you open or purchase a bottle whether or not it has become corked? This would save me a lot of time and headache in the future!

Ok, so this sounds so dumb, but I cant figure out what I did wrong...

I've done some baking over the past few days, one recipe for blonde brownies and one for plain ol' tollhouse chocolate chip cookies...And somehow I screwed them both up. I've never had this problem before...But I did notice that I bought 'dark' brown sugar...

The brownies didn't get soft, they didnt cook all the way through, and just tasted like chunks of caramelized sugar. The cookies turned into soup on the cookie sheets and spilled all over the oven, and filled my house with smoke in just about 5 minutes (ugh!)

Could the brown sugar be the problem?

Chickens produce eggs whether they've had contact with a rooster or not, they're just not fertile. So why do some vegitarians still not eat eggs, even though they'll never become a chicken under any circumstances?
