I cook with alcohol :) It cooks out and leave just the flavor. In fact, I got a great bottle of wine for Christmas and I am just itching to make a great stew.
Thanks!
I'm not against cooking with it, but don't want to go out of my way to buy it.
Your Welcome Alison. I don't have wines and other things like that around the house because I don't cook with them that often. So, it is nice to know I can substitute them so I don't have to make a trip for the little I might use. Thanks for all your nice comments.
