Trying Moscato + assorted foodie stuff

athenaltenaThe other day one of D's friends brought over a bottle of Barefoot Moscato, and they offered me a small amount. I don't usually do white whine or sweet tasting alcohol, but I really liked this one, so today I bought myself a bottle. It was only $8, but it's pretty good for the price. I'm not too up on my wine terminology, but it has a nice little pop to it.
The bottle said it went well with Asian cuisine, and I tried that with a stir fry, and I think it went very well. It also goes with cheeses so I had some crackers and Vermont sharp cheddar, and that was very nice.
Plus, I got to add the bottle to the wine rack I got last Christmas, so now it has two bottles, this one and a red wine that I should probably finish off either by drinking it or using it in something I cook, but I drink alcohol so rarely that it just winds up sitting around. At least it looks nice since it sits on the windowsill and helps add to the image that adults live here.
Yup, living in this part of Boston almost inevitably turns people into foodies.
I also put together what I need for a pulled pork sandwich tomorrow, which I'll put in the slow cooker while I'm out during the day so it'll be ready when I get back. I decided to let the pork sit in the sauce I made overnight to give it even more flavor. I also felt like a dope because I thought we didn't have any cumin and kept meaning to get some but forgetting, but when I was cleaning the cabinet out after Angelo moved out I discovered we had some all along! So I'm actually making it according to the recipe this time (though I cut down on the chili powder because I'm a wimp).
