so you buy some homemade butternut squash ravioli – mine came from lazarolli’s in nashville. boil them gently in salted water, careful not to burst the little pillows. and then you brown the butter. and there is a technique here because believe me, i’ve blown it before… but i’ve found quite the description of how to go about this and it comes from celia barbour’s christmastime cookie recipe – an excerpt from gourmet’s ‘diary of a foodie’.
Cut up cold butter and set it over moderate heat. When it is all golden liquid, start stirring as the butter begins to simmer. Next, a froth appears on the top; this soon gathers into little clouds, which then dissipate as the milk proteins separate from the fat, cook, and harden into tiny grains that fall to the bottom of the pan. There they’ll sit, turning brown-first pale caramel (beurre noisette), then tea-leaf (beurre noir), and finally, after about ten seconds, black (garbage). I always leave the pan on the stove a few beats beyond rosy caramel to give a deeper flavor to the cookies. Nerves of steel, I say to myself, stirring vigilantly. At the very last second, I take the pan off the stove and set it in cold water.
now we know. nerves of steel…
then chop up about 8 sage leaves and maybe 15 seconds before you think the pan is ready to take the plunge, throw in the herbs so they can flavor the butter. when you think you’re safe (temperature wise), rewarm the sauce very gently and then drizzle generously over the ravioli’s.
the final touch is unbelievable. seriously. unexpected yet sublime. i used 75% pralus. it’s my favorite brand these days. just whip out the microplane grater and do a light dusting of the best chocolate you’ve got. it’s a total wow.
then go ride your bike for 2 hours.

I get all my business suits and 90% of my “dress clothes” used from fleaBay, in part because I like the stuff from Germany and Austria that you don’t find over here, except at “ow, yowch, eep, whimper, whimper” prices. After all, it is a big international electronic garage sale.

You made good ideas here. I done a research on the topic and learnt nearly all peoples will agree with your blog. You can make some money from Twitter even if you just know the basics of the website, but you really need to use some Twitter software if you are serious about using Twitter to make money.

A haircut can highlight all the little changes you've missed seeing, and combine them into an "oh my god, he's so big!" moment. But he's still as adorable as ever. 🙂

Love the blanket! Your daughter has good taste. I have also been in love with that bed from IKEA the moment I saw it a couple years ago. Now that she is in a bed and not the crib, did you change the frame above it or leave it there? Is there anything else you have changed in the room as she transitions to being a little girl?[]

Thanks for your short article. I would also love to say a health insurance brokerage service also works for the benefit of the actual coordinators of any group insurance coverage. The health agent is given a summary of benefits searched for by anyone or a group coordinator. Such a broker really does is hunt for individuals and also coordinators which will best match those needs. Then he presents his advice and if both parties agree, the actual broker formulates an agreement between the 2 parties.

Great video! The only thing I would add is that you can put an old washcloth or towel over the drain hole, so if you drop any small parts they will not fall down the drain.

Rick -THANKS SO MUCH for sharing that! I certainly did have a good laugh… especially at your dad saying “you can really do it!” I’m really glad things went so well with your family… even though the route to get there seemed a bit rough. Isn’t it great to have loving, open-minded parents? I sometimes wonder if my mom’s bought a Titan membership to keep tabs on me… but I don’t wanna ask her. Hope you’re well.Jesse
