A few months ago when Justyna asked me to watch a movie starring Amy Adams and Meryl Streep, I thought “Somebody... Anybody... Please fucking kill me...”
Julia Child was a big tall woman, which in my book is a trait of beauty. Tall girls are clumsy as hell. They walk into stuff. The knock stuff over.
I love tall chicks.
The recipe is here and here (warning: pdf file)
Bacon should be boiled to remove the smokey flavour. It also keeps the strips in regular form from curling. Once boiled, you must dry with paper towels to brown evenly.
About a full bottle of Zinfandel and Cab-Sauve was used. There are specific wines, but I say try what you like. I say this mostly because I fucked up and bought the wrong wine.
Mushrooms are quartered. When sautéing, never crowd the mushrooms. Keep them separated with distance to brown evenly as well.
Pearl onions are boiled, dried, then browned. Once browned, layer with chicken broth, a teaspoon of brown sugar, and season with salt and pepper. Let simmer for 25 minutes until the onions have soaked the broth.
The dish must be stewed for about 2 hours at 325 degrees. This is pretty much enough time to watch a George Clooney movie.
This is a Zen garden I bought today if I ever I get into a fight with my roommate. I’ve decided that instead of pwn’ing his ass in Call of Duty, I’d just come to the kitchen and rake my sand.
Finally strain the solids from the broth. Take the broth and skim the fat. The fat can later be used for cooking meats.
Can be served with noodles or rice.
Bon Appetite,
Chris and Justyna
