Alcohol / Dried Fruit

[Guest guest]

I don't drink alcohol because I have noticed I am a little reactive the

next day, even with a glass or two of good red wine...but I noticed

that some recipes include Bourbon or Rum....I am surprised...how can

this be?

Love some of these recipes...they seem so simple and how I basically

cook, less the rice flour.

And what abour Dried fruit....like prunes...dates, figs...?

Thank you...=)

I don't do much with alcohol myself because it make my feet hot. (Go

figure... 40 degrees out, which is COLD for N'Awlins, and everyone else

is wrapped in sweaters, and me, I'm barefoot, because of the

wine...)

Not everyone tolerates all legal items. If there's an ingredient you know

you don't tolerate, then omit it. (For instance, I make a Creole pot

roast which calls for red wine. I'm ok with pot roast because the alcohol

cooks off, but some people might choose to substitute water or a bit of

nice broth.

These are legal, so long as nothing illegal is added, but somewhat

advanced. The natural sugars are concentrated when the fruit is dried,

and it's WAY too easy to eat too much. It's wise to wait until some

healing has occurred because of this. (We won't discuss how much I ate

the first time I made dried pineapple, nor the results....)
