Oct 10, 2007 by AnneShirley03-03-07 | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)

i would like to body a wooden plate rack that fits to the derange with drainage. i have w window where the drainer is so cant have one here, but i would likea batter that just drip dries the plates and cups and they are stored there too. Has anybody got one of these? Or do you identify how i can waterproof the wood and 'woo' the water to where i want it to go??

You can never fully waterproof the wood, the closest you can get would be a nautical finish, or acrylic paint. That will contrive a decent barrier to prevent most moisture from strident the wood. though you won't necessarily be drenching it.

I would suggest that you may well-founded need a rack for displaying your plates, then you dont have to make an end of the natural beauty of the wood. And theres a lot of opportunities for you there.

or you may ethical use a wooden wall mount and with some billet doux dowels to set your plates on, the water can damper straight down.

A cut above the rustic

For O’Leary, who cut his teeth as a buyer and restorer of antique furniture, the roots of the simple country kitchen are clear to see. “If you go to any Georgian or Victorian stately home and go to the working kitchen or the scullery, you’ll find Belfast sinks, a huge great working table in the middle of the room, and there’ll be open shelves with all the pots and pans easy to get at. Ultimately, the farmhouse kitchen is just that, a working kitchen. And that style of country kitchen has been around for a very long time.”

Ed Blackett, director of kitchen designers Kit Stone, says: “The absolutely key element for farmhouse kitchens is the image that it has evolved over time and has not just been fitted.”

Blackett adds: “All original country-style kitchens were built around the sink, the range and the butcher’s block, and these are all essential elements of the style.

“Other things that I’d say characterise the look are the exposed plate racks and the central, ceiling-mounted pot racks. As for materials, painted solid oak is best and free-standing kitchen dressers that show off cookware and utensils are a must.”

Try a cab with steak pie

If the wine were a fabric, it would be velvet, a velvet smoking jacket perhaps. The tannins, still fairly firm, will soften over time; this wine will become increasingly plush as it ages. And although the wine's acid keeps it lively on the palate even in its relative youth -- you can certainly enjoy it now -- you will reap considerable rewards if you cellar it for up to a decade and quite possibly even longer.

The wine's fruit is reminiscent of not-yet-fully-ripe cherries, punctuated by spicy notes that suggest black pepper, white pepper, Szechuan pepper and allspice. Its aromatics are beautiful, especially in the way they linger in the wine's long finish.

When it comes to pairing the wine at the table, you won't do better than beef. A rare grass-fed ribeye steak with a red wine and butter pan sauce is a classic and extraordinary match. Mushrooms, especially crimini, portobello and chanterelles, will engage the wine's earthy tones beautifully, too.

For today's recipe, I'm taking inspiration from several sources. First, organ meats are once again both popular and increasingly available, especially at our farmers markets. Secondly, there is a chill in the air and, now and then, threads of wood smoke, which turn our thoughts to heartier foods. When I caught these aromas early this morning, they resonated beautifully with the wine and nearly instantly, I was thinking about the classic English dish, steak and kidney pie. I've made a version adapted from the 1975 edition of "Joy of Cooking" for many years. It's not difficult to make but it does take some time and some planning. But with a $60 wine, a bit of planning is warranted, don't you think?
