How about a nice beef tenderloin, marinated in a good Shiraz, cooked barely medium rare, sliced very thin, and topped with demi-glace? Don't have time for demi-glace? Do what I do. Make your beef Veloute' and add pureed mirepoix, (containing some roasted garlic also ), and use that instead.
Culinary trivia: When you use mirepoix in this manner it is known as a matignon.

Or you could just take beef stock, thicken it with cornstarch, and then add the matignon.

I don't believe it. I just called matignon "mitigation." Oops.

Cornstarch!!! No way. If one is too lazy (or time constrained) to make a roux, then at least keep some beurre manié on hand for thickening.

Be quiet, I'm trying to teach c***ting 101 here. Besides, some people have dietary constraints that preclude the use of beurre manie, although, come to think of it, that would probably apply to a veloute' or bechamel also.
Not to mention hollandaise; and yes, like most people, I've ended up with soft scrambled egg yolks a time or two.

Just as I make certain butters with different herbs etc I make Beurree manie as well..Its too dang easy not to have on hand.. Make a good bit in my food processor and freeze it until needed..
Yes, its dated so I know how long I have had it..

Is there really anything any better??? So simple too...I have also used corn starch and or Gold Wondra too..No clumps with the Wondra and also very easy although no where the flavor of Beurre....


bon appétit, Messieurs...♨ ♥

I try to limit my intake of beef, but I've had a beard for as long as I was able to grow one. I h**e shaving.

Here it is. I hope I have cropped enough of my face out to:

- Keep the crazies from identifying me and coming after me
- Keep normal folks from turning away in disgust
- Keep facial recognition software from revealing my true identity.

I just hope there are a lot of other white-bearded men in SF!

Now that you all have finished speaking in tongues I can chime in! :hunf:

You call that a beard? If I shave right now, I'll have that much growth at 6:00 am tomorrow! But then...I am a Texan! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Seriously though, I grew one every winter until about 10 years ago when it started coming in gray. I finally decided to embrace the gray, and let it grow this year. I'm with you Paul I h**e shaving! So does my son, who sent me the picture. His fiance h**es his beard as my wife does mine so we joke about it a lot!
