Taylor dry sherry.

Cooking sherry is generally cheap sherry with a lot of salt added.
Real sherry is cheaper and you can adjust the recipe to taste with salt
as needed. Mirin can also be used in many recipes in place of cooking
sherry (flavor shift but many are workable).

Isn't that the idea, they make it salty so no one would buy it to
drink so it could be sold in supermarkets?

Of course, that's not an issue in a lot of places any more.

If it's available, I prefer Christian Brothers to Taylor.

They are all loaded with salt. Instead, look for a reasonably-priced
sherry in your local liquor store. There isn't much difference when
used in cooking.

Completely agree, Mary! Good to see you back posting after the biopsy.
I do hope the results will be great.

I will post an update to the biopsy post now. I had hoped to have
results, but it appears that I won't know anything for about two weeks.
However, I can tell you that did not need to fear the actual procedure.
It took about 15 minutes, and it was no more painful than a bee sting.
Thanks for your good thoughts (and those of all the others who posted).

My wife had a biopsy and she too was anxious for the results. She called the doctor and inquired about it. The woman on the line said it would take a while and that they would only call her in if the tests was not normal. After talking to the doctor, the woman said that she had better come in the next day. That woman screwed up big-time. I sure hope you get your results in two weeks and not sooner than that.

Thanks. I hope your wife is doing well now. I have an appointment with
my doctor. He wants to see me for an evaluation regardless of the
results. There are several things the high blood test results for liver
function could mean.

I'm hoping after the tests all the doctor prescribes is a mild
laxative, nothing more serious than perhaps a pint of prune juice. Be
well.

Well, it won't be that. I eat 5 prunes for breakfast several times a
week, and I have to b e careful that it doesn't cause diarrhea! I do
hope it's something equally benign, though. Thanks.

I buy cases of reds mail order and keep them in the basement so I always have a bottle if wine or two when I need them. It's pretty cool! I use a bottle for cooking too, always!
