Oh, I'm all for the wine! LOL. My husband-to-be and I are ethnically challenged when it comes to
food likes and dislikes. He likes local food (he's Hawaiian) and I grew up in a German/Dutch
environment. We disagree on kinds of foods, on how to make dishes, and meal planning. Many times we
end up cooking for ourselves instead of each other. The only thing he really objects to me making in
the house is Red Cabbage and German Potato Salad. I think it's the vinegar smell he objects to.
Bummer. I love these dishes! That's okay, I don't care for his hot curry dishes either! <g>
