    Title: Purple Jesus Punch
    3 ga Carlo Rossi or Tavola Table Wine

    How old is that recipe? Tavola Table Wine has been defunct for
    decades. The last time you posted that recipe I Googled it and found
    next to nothing, just one image of a faded label on an old bottle.
    This time Google can't find anything at all.

    Title: Szechwan Noodle Salad in Peanut Sauce
    Categories: Asianish, Salads, Sauces, Ham, Noodles
    Yield: 6 servings

    PEANUT SAUCE:
    1 1/2 tb Minced ginger root
    1 tb Minced garlic
    1 tb Minced green onion
    6 tb Creamy peanut butter
    2 tb Dark soy sauce
    1/4 c Red wine vinegar
    1 tb Chinese chili paste
    1 ts Sugar
    1 tb Sesame oil
    2 tb Vegetable oil
    1 tb Dry sherry
    1 ts Hot, dry mustard (Chinese)
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/2 c Chicken stock
    NOODLES:
    1 lb Fettuccine or
    -other thin noodles
    2 tb Oil
    1 c Julienned carrots
    1 c Julienned green onions
    1/4 lb Ham; julienned
    1 c Bean sprouts
    1 c Julienned cucumber
    1 c Julienned red bell pepper

    *Note: The noodles and sauce must be at room temperature when tossed
    and served. If cold, the sauce will lose its creamy consistency.

    To make peanut sauce, combine ginger, garlic, 1 tablespoon green
    onion, peanut butter, soy sauce, vinegar, chili paste, sugar, sesame
    and vegetable oils, sherry, dry mustard, salt and chicken stock.
    Blend thoroughly. Cover and set aside. Do not refrigerate.

    To make noodles, cook fettuccine until tender. While noodles are still
    warm, toss with oil until well coated. Chill. Place carrots in sieve
    and pour boiling water over them. Immediately pat dry with paper
    towels and chill. Wrap julienned green onions, ham, bean sprouts,
    cucumber and red pepper separately and chill until serving time.
    Bring noodles to room temperature before serving.

    At serving time, place noodles in center of large round bowl or
    platter. Arrange vegetables and ham attractively in separate
    mounds around edge. Blend peanut sauce again and pour over
    noodles, vegetables and ham. Toss.

    Mid 1970s. And your Google is laying down on the job. Bing found this:

    "Vino da Tavola was the most basic classification for the wines of Italy.
    It is now renamed simply as "Vino", appearing on labels as Vino d'Italia.
    The original name means literally "table wine", as distinct from higher-quality wines from specified geographical locations"

    https://www.wine-searcher.com

    And several other citations - including "Francis Ford Coppola a Tavola Cabernet Sauvignon" - which would, of course, sell for far more than
    the U$1.95/gallon I paid for the Dago Red I used in the punch.

    Title: Fennel Taralli da Tavola di Filomena
    Categories: Snacks, Breads
    Yield: 48 servings

    3 c + 1/3 c flour
    1/2 ts Active dry yeast
    3/4 ts Salt
    1/3 c Oil
    1 1/2 c Lukewarm water
    1 1/2 ts Fennel seeds; toasted

    In a bowl of a stand mixer, with paddle attachement,
    combine 3 cups of flour, yeast and salt.

    Add the oil, followed by the lukewarm water.

    Add the toasted fennel seeds.

    Scrape down the dough.

    Switch to dough hook attachment.

    Add the 1/3 cup of flour.

    Knead for approximately 6-8 minutes until you have a
    soft, smooth elastic dough. Alternately, you can knead
    by hand.

    Cover loosely with plastic wrap and tea towel and allow
    dough to rest for about 30 minutes.

    Place the ball of dough on an un-floured wooden board.

    Knead the dough for about 1 minute (if the dough sticks
    to the wooden board, add a little bit of flour).

    Pinch about a tablespoon of dough and roll into a rope
    shape approximately 8" long and 1/4" in diameter (about
    the size of a pencil). Feel free to adapt any sized
    ring-shape when you are making these taralli

    Cut in half and join the two ends together to form a
    ring.

    Place the taralli on a clean dishcloth.

    Bring a large pot of water to boil, then reduce heat so
    that the water barely simmers.

    Plunge the taralli in simmering water; 3-4 at a time.
    Once they surface to the top, remove with slotted spoon.

    Place on clean dishcloth to drain.

    Repeat process until all the taralli have been boiled.

    Place boiled taralli directly on oven grates (if large
    enough) or on a cookie sheet.

    Bake in a 375ºF/190ºC oven for 30 minutes or until
    golden brown (set oven rack in the center).
