om nom nom red wine pasta sauce

1. slice an onion thinly, but do not dice
2. slice a packet of mushrooms - less thinly
3. cut cherry tomatoes in half
4. saute onion in butter till soft
5. add mushrooms
6. add red wine slightly too soon, whoops!
7. let reduce
8. add tomatoes
9. boil pasta.

when pasta is cooked, turn hob under sauce off. eat!

I still have two thirds of a bottle of white wine and quite a lot of gin. I have a vague idea of what I want to do with the white wine (moar pasta sauce), but none at all re: the gin. Does anyone have good vegetarian recipe ideas? My flatmate has suggested I just chug it all, but that is a silly idea. Alcohol is for cooking. Obviously.

The only cooking thing I ever do with gin is stuff large green olives with bleu cheese and then soak them in gin overnight. But that's still gonna get you drunk in a large enough quantity, especially if you use them for martinis. :D

Meh, blue cheese -- I don't know how I feel about blue cheese!

Maybe I should just do G & Ts.

G&Ts are my preferred gin to stomach transport.

I effing LOVE g & ts, they're so fruity. Mmm! maybe I will take my flatmate up on her suggestion after all.

BUT I COULD HAVE ALCOHOLIC FOOD INSTEAD OF ALCOHOLIC DRINK

I soak raisins in gin to make a yummy alcoholic snacks. But then again, that's a complete waste of good gin.
