    Tried this recipe tonight - fed the fam while they were watching football. The game was paused (yes, I said PAUSED) and they yelled "Ma - this goes on the rotation!" which is code that they want to see it on a regular basis! High praise from my crew! Bought some of your AP Seasoning - appreciated the flavor without the salt content! I'll be watching more of your videos! Thanks for sharing!

If you smell the cooking food just after adding something alcoholic you can get strong whiff that fades it leaves your food. What's left behind are the flavor of the drink minus any alcohol. Good luck and good eats.
