butterflocken

Nothing to say. Just had to see that word again.

"Butterflocken" sounds like something that the Swedish Chef uses when cooking.

Bork bork bork now foor de butterflocken!

That Scripture Cake in the cookbook in Jess's link is awesome.

I found some recipes in my American Hostess Cookbook from Mrs. J. Strom Thurmond. (A pecan pie which looks pretty much like every other pecan pie recipe I've ever seen, and "Frozen Fruit Charlotte" wich is 2 1/2 cups milk, 3 egg yolks, and 1/2 cup sugar mixed together, stir in 3 T geletine which has been soaking in cold water, cool, stir in 3 beaten egg whites, 1 cup cream, whipped, and 2 cups mixed fruit. Put in freezer, serve with whipped cream. That recipe scares me.)

Okay, so last night, I stared at a double magnum of Château Lafite Rothschild 1874 that apparently costs $35,000. I was afraid to move lest I break anything and have to take out a loan.

Wow.

I've also got a cookbook of community recipes that was sold to raise money for the Kennebunkport library. It's got a few from Barbara Bush. (Including a baked beans recipe that starts with two cans of baked beans. I don't understand these things.)

Shrift - they just have bottles of wine that cost as much as a car lying around for any random klutz to fall over and break? Talk about your luxury dining. . .

"calf's head prepared turtle-style."

My favorite from, I think, Hannah Glasse was Veal Potage with Eel Jellly.

mmm..mmm good!

Community recipe books are some of the best historical documents!

New species discovered: Purple-festooned, Atepolus toad

Very pretty, for a toad. Also, I want to see what it looks like under a black light....

I should write up the Charlie Trotter's experience. I'm not going to have that kind of gustatory experience again anytime soon.

There were at least four $35,000 double magnums of wine in that wine cellar, which is only one of four cellars in the restaurant. I kept thinking that Danny and Rusty could make some easy money there.

From Kat's link....

If I have not wrote in the high, polite Stile, I hope I shall be forgiven; for my Intention is to instruct the lower Sort, and therefore must treat them in their own Way. For Example; when I bid them lard a Fowl, if I should bid them lard with large Lardoons, they would not know what I meant:

Well, I know what Sort I am. Lardoons? Heeheee.

msbelle, yay on getting him in today. yay on getting precert stuff starting. That's a nightmare that I'm too familiar with.

I don't want Noah to move. I don't want to disrupt him where he is and where he has been since birth. Plus I love Huntington's staff and I am comfortable there. Plus he's doing well and I worry that a move might undo some of that progress.

Oh, it was in a locked wine cellar, in a wine rack above my head. Still afraid to move and bump the rack with my purse, though.
