Sunday Supper: Goat Curry

I get goat from my local meat CSA and it's completely unlike how you describe it. If anything it's more mild (and less funky) than lamb. Maybe you're getting older goats or poorly slaughtered ones? I agree that it tends to be tougher.

Snapshots from Bourg-en-Bresse: The Infamous Bresse Chicken

My local meat CSA has a clone (marin sun farms in the bay area). The come with the blue feet attached. They're pastured and I paid $4-5/lb.

Mixed Review: Knorr's Hollandaise Mix

Ive never seen a hollandaise recipe call for cream. It's basically mayonaise made with butter instead of oil. Do you put cream in you Mayo?

Also, it's really easy and fast. You put your egg yolks in a metal bowl you can move on and off the head. add a bit of lemon juice and heat, whicky while simultaneously moving the pot on and off the heat until it thickens and steams. pinch of salt and then whisk in the butter - total time: less then 5 minutes. Sheesh.

I've haven't had hollandaise not work out (curdle) in years using this method.

Favorite Bread for French Toast?

"Milk Bread" from a Korean grocery. Rich, milky, slightly sweet. Comes in thick slices perfect for French toast. One caution though - you need to give the bread plenty of time to absorb the milk-egg mixture if you want a custardy inside.

Who Makes the Best Vanilla Ice Cream?

You made a pretty big mistake with the Breyers ice cream. Breyers makes _two_ vanilla ice creams. Regular and French. The regular is just ok, but the French is fantastic.

In my opinion this mistake is large enough (and very careless i might add) to warrant a retaste!
