How long does wine keep when opened?

Which particular veg didn't taste so good?

I had broccoli, carrots and parsnips

You're probably best blanching those. The parsnips, I think I would cook up and mash before freezing.

Thanks -when you blanch what exactly do you do?

boil in hot boiling water for 1 or 2 minutes then straight into cold water to stop them cooking.

I do carrots a lot, but i only use them for soup so slice them first.
I think i read somewhere if you try and freeze things that are to big, the outside freezes before the inside.
Or does blanching stop that ?????

I slice them up so they are the approximate size and so I can get just the correct amount out.

I normally freeze them on a metal tray and when they are frozen, tap them into a plastic bag so they are not one big lump.

I rarely blanch as I try not to keep things frozen for too long. (well, one of my new year resolutions is to try and keep the freezer goods rotated)

i have some parsnips, carrots and an onion that needed using so i have chopped the onion and froze it raw, i read i could do that on here i think, the carrots and parsnips i have cooked and will freeze when cold then defrost to use in a chicken casserole next week, i would have normally thrown them away so am quite impressed with myself:rotfl: and i have used up the 1/2 dozen small potatoes in the bottom of the bag that i used to through away cos i couldnt be bothed to peal ones that small:rolleyes:

Hi

Not sure if this is the correct place to post but here goes!

How long can you drink a bottle of white wine before it goes off? I have a bottle that was opened on Friday night and only 1 glass was drunk. It has a screw top that has been fastened, but how long will it keep for?

Thanks for any answers given!

Should be OK if the top's been on but wouldn't leave it too long - do the taste test to check for sure!

Must say it's not a problem I ever have.......<hic>
