Hi Dave,

>> CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS MESSAGE <<


 DD> Julia was pretty much straight up about her cooking. And if she
 DD> goofed, she goofed. No re-takes. Such as the time she flipped a
 DD> pancake into the air and failed to catch it in the pan. After it
 DD> plopped onto the table Julia looked straight at the camera and said
 DD> "You just scoop it back into the pan. Remember, you are alone in the
 DD> kitchen and nobody can see you."

I never saw the originals but have read about it. Do remember watching
the old Galloping Gourmet with Graham Kerr and the time he started a
recipe with "first you take a leek................." as the crew and
studio audience dissolved & they cut to a fast break.

 DD>    >>SNIP<<

 DD> Few days go by that I don't pick up something new in this group.  Bv)=

 RH> It has been quite the learning experience for me as well. Hard to
 RH> believe but I've been here almost 20 years.

 DD> I'm glad I looked this recipe up in my database. I am on a
 DD> self-imposed (under Dr's advice) low fat diet. This look like it will
 DD> be both low fat and tasty - something hard to do. Even if I substitute
 DD> leg quarters for the breasts.

 DD> Further to that - my local County Market (Nieman Foods) put up a super
 DD> special of 10# bags of chicken leg quarters @ 39c/lb (limit 2 bags).
 DD> It's a good thing, too. I managed to wedge half of the plunder in two
 DD> leg quarter portions into the freezer and am working through the other
 DD> - big crockpot of chicken & noodles, small crockpot making chicken
 DD> dumpling soup and the Poulet Basquaise on the hot plate. The rest will
 DD> get cooked and diced for chicken salad.

Sounds like a good deal. I picked up a few things at the farmer's market
today, not much as we're heading out again soon. Eating off meats from
our freezer and fresh veggies from the market.


 RH> Low fat is good with gall bladder issues. You'll find, after it comes
 RH> out, handling fat/grease will be hard for a time. I think it took me
 RH> several years to get to where I could deal with it, without any
 RH> problems. Even now, if I have something fatty, I try to have some
 RH> "buffer" food in my stomach first. Don't know about hot sauce, things
 RH> like that, you may or may not be able to handle them after surgery.
 RH> You'll just have to see how your system reacts to things. Eating low
 RH> fat and increasing the whole grains will be a big help. Meanwhile, hope
 RH> all goes well, both now and with the surgery when it happens.

 DD> I don't see why hot sauce would cause any problems - it certainly

It may or may not bother you, just thought I'd give you a head's up.


 DD> doesn't with ulcers. I've dropped ten pounds since they weighed me at
 DD> the Emergency room. Mostly due to low appetite. I am back to eating

Good, I suspect the appetite is coming back a bit but if you can just
cut your portion sizes a bit,  you'll drop more.


 DD> "normal" levels of fat ... but, not tempting the fates by seeking out
 DD> the fatty parts of prime rib, or ordering the garlic-butter sauce on
 DD> my breakfast tatties. I did, however, essay a bowl of red yesterday.
 DD> Not especially oily ... but, still it had some fat to it.

It needs some fat as a flavor carrier. My dad had a bowl of chili (at a
local eatery) while we were there that gave him some problems. I think
they used it on my taco salad too; mine is much better. They also used
Velveeta or Cheeze Whiz on the taco salad instead of the real stuff,
guess I need to teach them how to cook. (G)


 DD> You'll probably not make this because of the wine content - but, I may
 DD> give it a shot someday when I am feeling ambitious - it's alleged to
 DD> be a Julia Child recipe.

 DD> MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

 DD>       Title: Caneton â l'Montmorency
 DD>  Categories: Poultry, Citrus, Fruits, Booze, Wine
 DD>       Yield: 5 servings

Interesting, but most likely not the way I'd do a duck.
