[quote=CelticBomber]I have a bottle of E&J Brandy that's apparently only good to use for cooking. I grabbed it real cheap at a Flea Market for like $7. Not being a drinker I had no idea if it was good or bad but for $7 I gambled. I posted this awhile back. Well, it's been sitting here and I was wondering if any of you home chefs would like the bottle for cooking. All I ask is that you cover shipping. It's still sealed, 80 proof, and a 750ml bottle. Pm me if you want it.

Hate to be the bear bad news, but shipping is 1.5-2 times retail price.
Due yourself a favor and buy some vanilla ice cream, cream de cacao, a Hersey's dark chocolate candy bar and some maraschino cherries.
Wait until the kids are asleep, put 3/4 cup of brandy, 3/4 cup of creme de cacao and 1 1/2 cup of ice cream in a blender. Mix it up and pour in to two cups. Top each with a cherry and pieces of chocolate and stick a straw into it. Grab both and give one to your wife. Keep one and thank her for 17 wonderful years.
BTW, the recipe is for Brandy Alexanders.
