Congratulations on your successful cooking adventure.
I realize you hate to cook, but hopefully you or some of your readers might find these tips helpful (I actually love cooking).
You can freeze wine in 1/3 or 1/2 cup (or whatever amount) portions, to use in cooking, that way you don’t have to buy a bottle each time.
If your cork gets stuck or breaks, it’s usually because it’s too dry. Take a long screw, twist it in, and wiggle the little bugger out.
And I agree with Willikat – cooking with wine adds a tremendous flavor element, so worth it.

I’m sooooo proud! Hopefully this is the first step of many. I really am proud. Robin, good job pushing her through to completion.

wine definitely adds to most recipes so it was good you went to the trouble. i can’t speak to crab dip since it’d kill me if i ate it.

I hate cooking stuff with wine too but mostly because I’m cheap! I think its such a waste for like 1/3 of a cup. My husband disagrees and LOVES to cook with wine.

And that’s why he cooks more than I do.

Yum! I’ll have to get my hubby to whip that up, as the kitchen and I are not on speaking terms.

Just FYI, professional chefs sneer at the garlic press – so feel proud for skipping that.

Yeah I would’ve suggested taking it to work, too. My coworkers love me cuz I bake a lot and don’t like to keep all those extra cookies around the house. ) …. As for disposing of it, I’d toss it in a ziplock or old Cool Whip like container and take it straight to the dumpster (at your apartment, work, whatever).

I took my half to work, and everyone DEVOURED it…in no time flat. Now I don’t have to worry about dumping it!

Wow! Cooking with friends is so much more fun than cooking alone. Awesome!

As an apartment dweller, I throw all my left-over foods into a big ziploc and put it in the freezer until garbage day. No stink.

Yay! You cooked! That’s awesome! And I love that you said it was worth the work.

As for disposing of it? Why not throw it in the trash, and then take the trash out?
