Why order chicken when there’s duck on the menu? Why??
Chicken Chasseur is still a reliable and delicious meal, but let’s face it, it‘s so last block (Foundations II).
What’s a super exciting turn for poultry week this week was the challenger bird — duck.
Breaking down a duck is similar to chickens but definitely has its own quirks.
The gorgeous dark flesh and thick thick layer of creamy white fat is just a thing of beauty.
And when that fat cap renders out into the pan, it leaves behind a golden shield of crispy skin.
Finished plate of Saute Duck Breast in Green Peppercorn Sauce with braised red cabbages and pommes Dauphinoise. Now, where is that nice glass of red wine to go with this plate?
A lot of people assume that Richard’s lucky now that I’m in culinary school.
They ask if he’s eating well.
Here’s an example lunchbox for hubby. What do you think? Lucky?
Legs or breast?
How about legs and breast.
Dish 1: Ballotine de Poulet Grandmere
with rissole potatoes and holy-trinity-of-coq-au-vin garnish (lardon or bacon, mushrooms, and pearl onions)
Stuffed, deboned legs — totally gonna do this again soon.
Here’s a look at the other leg that lost the (plating) beauty pageant.
Dish 2: Grilled Breast of Chicken
with green salad dressed in emulsified vinaigrette, and tropical fruit salsa
Gotta work on that heat control!
It’s a shame when nicety/humility get interpreted as a sign of weakness; yet this seems to be the case quite often in the cooking world.
Assholes (with real chops) get respect. Drill Sargents quickly win over underlings and thus effectively marshal mixed recruits.
I tend to gravitate towards strong personalities and will likely become a full-fledged asshole myself.
Different methods are appreciated in different ways. The hope is locating the appropriate pressure point in time to effect good results.
Good luck to all frustrated souls.
If you are getting feeds to this blog via Facebook (on iPhone), know this, I didn’t put those ads in there!
I’ve got this blog linked up to Facebook so that new posts automatically show up on news feed. But iPhone users have noticed that there is a strip of advertisement on display at the top when the posts are opened via Facebook app. NOT COOL.
Why isn’t it my choice and my choice alone if I wish to monetize my blog?
If Facebook is slapping ads on my content, where is my damn cut?
Freakin’ A.
Anyone knows how to disable such unsolicited pimping?
