You can't make this stuff up...

Walong Marketing, Inc. Issues Nationwide Voluntary Recall of Flying Horse Black and White Sesame Chewy Candy Due to Undeclared Peanuts

Topping the recall list, every food recall list: Candies from China and ice creams from everywhere.

Despite the recall, with a name like "Flying Horse Black and White Sesame Chewy Candy" you know it has got to be good.

Cheating the sauce

In a perfect world we don't need much refrigeration. The beer and wine need to be kept chilled, of course, but in a perfect world today's catch is on ice in a cooler and all of the other perishible ingredients came from the market shortly before the meal was prepared.

In the real world, fresh ingredients for a sauce or even a mirepoix might be light on occasion. I know, I know, hard to imagine, but it does happen. On those rare occasions, fortunately there is a pantry ready sauce available to save the day.

More than Gourmet of Akron Ohio offers a classic demi-glace Red Wine Sauce and a velouté White Wine Sauce. Both are ready to heat and serve or you can use them as a base and use the ingredients you do have on hand to make a red wine mushroom sauce or tarragon sauce for fish.

Both sauces contain Wheat and Milk ingredients.
