Rice Korbel

You missed a once in a lifetime opportunity. Jane had a nearly full open bottle of Korbel champagne left over from her Fairness party last Saturday, and it went flat. It still tasted pretty good to me, but nobody else wants to drink flat champagne.

There was no way to put the cork back into that bottle, but I couldn’t bring myself to dump it out. So I used about a quart of champagne and boiled rice in it.

I made chicken & rice casserole cooked in champagne.

Odds are good it will never happen again. It was a very tasty casserole, for sure, but I’d never intentionally screw up a good bottle of champagne that way. Plus, it would elevate the dollar cost of chicken casserole way beyond all reason.
