I'm taking an ACF kitchen practical soon and am confused by advice for a certain part. What IS the proper cut for matignon ? Escoffier says paysanne but can the cuts be different for each item or do you have to choose only one ? And I was told to make it crispy but how do you do that when you are stewing ? Your opinion will be very much appreciated. Thank-you. Greetings Michael:

Kudos to Barbara for taking the time and bringing so many people together. I write, but my bread and butter is as a surgical clinic administrator. We treat a lot of cancer patients. No matter how many people we see, it never fails to shake the staff up when a biopsy report come in positive, but it also gives us great joy when someone comes through the experience and beats it. Thank you Barbara. You're support means a lot. What a great idea. Kudos to Barbara for taking the time and bringing so many people together.

Honestly, I don't get it. Friend of my parents kept chickens in the foothills, and their eggs were good, too. What's wrong with the commercial product here?

So, the cheap eggs sell quickly and get re-stocked quickly, and are therefore often the freshest ones in the store. The organic, vegetarian-feed only eggs costing three times as much don't sell as quickly and therefore sit n the shelf longer at the store before going to your home. When I was in culinary school, we had the best eggs. This was mostly due to the fact that they were delivered directly to the school from the farm several times a week and we used them within a day or two of delivery. wcw: Also, the interior firmness decreases with age.

I am still bummed that I missed the deadline for the contest... Not to sound like a gushing sycophant but it is really cool know that someone you admire takes the time to read their blog comments and take the time to comment back.

I love yellow foods: eggs, all things lemon, yellow veggies. It would have been fun to participate in the contest. I think that Chris was bummed, as I am, that we missed the cooking contest.
