i had to give you the entire name of this little dish in the post title. because i wanted to hit you with full impact… because foie gras is a full impact kinda dish and well, god, i love this stuff… so. much.
you see i had about 3 tablespoons of leftover miso maple sauce from the scallops, so i saved it with no good reason in mind, except that it was absolutely wonderful and i couldn’t imagine tossing it. surely i could come up with a way to use it. i mean, it was the weekend and friends were coming over and all i had to do was try and BE CREATIVE.
these days when i cook dinner there is rarely an appetizer or an hors d’oeuvre (bitch of a word to spell, no?), especially if i am serving dessert. i might have a bowl of olives out – or some roasted nuts to serve along with the first glass of wine, but i don’t like to over feed my guests or detract from the main attraction. as with most things, i believe i have learned this the hard way.
but exceptions have to made and i had a small but nice chunk of foie gras in my freezer from this past new years eve, just waiting for the right moment. in a moment of quasi-inspiration, i called my friends and asked them to pick up a baguette, and as the foie defrosted i took my leftover sauce of sherry vinegar, miso and maple syrup and began to heat it gently while i removed the stones from the half forgotten cherries hidden in my fridge. slicing them into quarters, they went into the pan along with about a teaspoon of sugar and when the cherries released most of their juice i shut off the burner.
i thinly sliced about 5 shallots and fried them in canola oil until they turned brown and crisp. they were drained on paper towels and sprinkled with my guerende salt.
to avoid smoking up the house with duck fat, i’ve taken to putting a cast iron pan on my gas grill and searing foie gras outside. the baguettes were sliced and brushed with olive oil, grilled on the grates and then plated with first the sauce, then the foie and then the crispy shallots.
talk about leftovers…

Thanks Val. It is amazing how the words leave such wounds. I have wings; that’s for sure. But some days, I don’t feel like flying. These days, I prefer my place on the couch, my feet tucked under my husband’s leg, my arm draped over my son’s shoulder. It’s a pretty good perch.

In today’s society when people live together before marriage and have children first etc. They have many if not all of the typical wedding gifts of the past and do ask for more non-traditional items. Don’t get them anything from thier list if you don’t want to, get them something more traditional. Some sheets or something, I’m sure they will appreciate the sentiment either way.

garyknowz1 And despicable as it is, the onus isn't on the Republican Party here. It's on the individual service member. He chose to wear is dress uniform and allowed himself to be placed as a prop for a political event. No one forced him to do either. I'm not sure what the UCMJ proscribes for such a situation. A friend of mine is a retired Army Col, so I'll ask.

I am a very busy general surgeon, and agree with Skeptical Scalpel and the the other commentors here. The reason that I order all these unnecessary tests is that the preadmission testing center at my hospital insists on it. If you are over 50, you will have a CXR, EKG, CBC, Chem 7 and coags ordered., regardless of your health status. If those results are not in the preadmission testing center 3 days before the day of surgery, the case is cancelled. This is what happens when we "empower" nurses who blindly follow AORN guidelines

Thanks, Tash. Very good and important reflections. It is shocking how this has grown in our years away from this part of the world. Of course we do have Reformation Day to commemorate today. It is really tough when one has children, and when it is such a ‘fun’ day. I appreciate the complexity. I know of many who have ‘alternative’ parties with good fun and lots of candies but a different focus.
