Is it time to move onto demi-glace?

*Although, you can find Demi-Glace Gold on some supermarket shelves. It's available in Chicken, Beef, Veal, Fish, Turkey, Veggie and Mushroom varieties. It's not cheap, but it's also not exactly expensive either, but it's well worth the investment - especially since demi-glace does indeed take hours of time to make from scratch.

The mailman has come and gone.

The shipment from Jessica's Biscuit still hasn't arrived.

Drat.

While I never was, and never will be, a gourmet cook on the level of DRs Jose and SWW, one of my regrets about working full time with a long commute is that I don't have time to cook like I used to. Wonder if I'll remember how, once I retire?

It's certainly time to move onto page five!

But Ginny, I don't consider myself to be a "gourmet" cook at all. I'm a home cook who prefers to work as much as I can from scratch.

I just happen to be using my day off to make some stock.

I'll probably also get some laundry done, but not using the same pot.

S. Woody White · « **Reply #126 on:** January 09, 2008, 10:07:50 AM »

Oh, Jose, I don't think you're right about marrow and gelatin being the same stuff. The marrow in bones is where blood cells are manufactured. Gelatin comes from the colligen, which is the soft stuff hiding between all the the calcium in the bones, and can also be found in muscle tissue. There's colligen in the marrow, but lots of other stuff there, too. (When making a pot roast, the temperature should be low in order to release the colligen in the meat - high temps makes the stuff sieze up and toughen, not desirable.)

Pigs knuckles and feet are loaded with colligen, and is where we used to get the gelatin used in desserts like mouses and Jell-O.

My first question for ASK BK day:

What is the strangest question you were ever asked at a television audition?

Ah, a customer!

I don't know that I was ever asked a strange question at a TV audition. At a movie audition I was asked if I had a problem doing nudity and showing my rear end - I said I did. They offered me the part anyway, and just assumed I'd do it and do the nudity. When they wouldn't back off, I passed.

I tried to make stock from scratch - I used three one dollar bills, but I didn't think the resulting broth was on the money.

I have to revise that last thing I wrote last night - I decided on a change of locale.

Well, they both contribute to that "unctious" mouthfeel.

BK - You wouldn't back off because your back was off, or just on principle?

S. Woody White · « **Reply #133 on:** January 09, 2008, 10:12:28 AM »

Time for my first skimming.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #134 on:** January 09, 2008, 10:12:44 AM »

Collagen and marrow, that is.

Ohh... And speaking of marrow... I haven't made Osso Bucco in a while...

I mean, just what is your type anyway?

This is turning into one truly blackletter day!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #138 on:** January 09, 2008, 10:20:50 AM »

OK... That's enough of the typography puns, bad jokes, etc. That's what comes from spending all that time in high school rubbing Letraset letters onto ad copy for the theatre programs.

On my computer, each time I view a clip, I see a "download this video" tab in the upper right-hand corner of the video. Works every time.

Me too. Never noticed that tab before! Ain't technology grand?

Eyesight is, too.

So whose backside did we see instead of yours?

Just saw a promo for an "unforgettable" and "must see" and "been waiting for" episode of a series that just started in November.

How many episodes (or seasons) does it take for any of the other DR's before you are really invested in the characters....enough for you to really care about what happens to the people on the series....

If they don't get me in the first episode I watch, they generally never get me (one exception -- I've recently been watching "Numbers"...either Rob Morrow has settled into his character in a less annoying way, or the focus on the other characters has balanced nicely with his making him tolerable to me).

But if a show hooks me from the git-go, every show after that is a "must see"....so any time they trumpet an episode, I know it's gonna be terrific (hopefully).

Oh Lordy!

I found a commercial for Salvo! The Dirt Bomb!

Glad DRJANE and DHKEITH made it through the pass.

I have nothing to say about bones.

But I am interested in reading the discussion.

Der Brucer is now watching some movie called Driving Lessons, a coming of age story involving Rupert Gint and Julie Waters.

If Rupert and Julie start snogging, I'm going to insist der B change channels.
