Java developer and Ruby enthusiast. My day job is an ecclectic mix of Java, Javascript, and project automation in many and varied forms. When I'm not working I still love programming. I'm fascinated by Ruby on Rails and Android. I'm a Christian, husband, and father.

comment What oil to use when cooking steak, and what difference does it make?
Extra virgin olive oil has a very low smoke point, meaning it's very easy to burn. Burnt oil smells and tastes bad, and may even catch fire under the right conditions.

comment How long can I store cooking wine?
Wine can last hours once opened, or it can last days. It all depends on the wine, and refrigerating it will help. Also, don't be afraid of wines with steel screw tops that will allow you to reseal the bottle for much longer storage. Yeah, it's pretty universally used by the swill makers, but there are some reputable vintners using steel closures these days. Do your homework and talk to the wine expert where you get your wine.
