Update!

[DaRB]

to whom it may concern;



I have decided due mainly to recent events, to cancel my impending trip to Minnesota. It is my intention to stay here in Colorado for the indefinate future. I have accepted a position at a local Caraba's ( www.carabas.com ) and will be working there for the time being. It is my intention, that after a brief probationary period, to step into the Management Team there. I will also be studying to take my MCSE exams, (Microsoft Certified Software Engineer) for the purpose of joining The Net Solution ( www.thenetsolution.net ) which was started by one of my good friends. So, it looks like I'll be around for quite some time to come.

For all those on either side of the line for me coming or going, I can only say that my life for the past few years has been nothing short of lively, in other words, not lacking for excitement and daily change. I have put together a plan that is designed to get me out of debt, and back on track, well on track for once anyways. So, I'll be seeing much more of you, or much less, far into the future.


Sincerely,


Jeremy Nelson

Good luck DaRB, and plz send over a recipe for a "White Wine sauce that will go with fish, salmon or orange ruffy" To spread over some pasta or something. Maybe a white wine lemon sauce dunno.

What you gots?

orange ruffy

Tastes great for date rape!

[DaRB]

smack.

u can do a basic buerre blanc sauce that will work pretty well.


8 shallots, very finely chopped
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, with tarragon flavor if you like.
4 tablespoon dry white wine
8 ozs good, cold butter
Salt and white pepper



Place the shallots in a heavy saucepan on a very low heat with the vinegar and the wine and soften them until they almost turn to mush. They can be sieved but the requirement is one tablespoon of very flavorsome liquid.

Add the butter 1/2" cube by 1/2" cube and whisk until the sauce thickens. Season and serve.


u can also do a lemon butter, bit more complicated.


1/4 of a leek, sliced
1 lemon, sliced
2 cloves garlic
1 stalk celery, chopped
2 cups white wine
1 shot lemon juice
1 1/2# butter *room temp is easier *
2 cups heavy cream


place the first four ingredients in the bottom of a sauce pan and with just a tiny bit of the butter saute until the celery is soft. add the wine and lemon juice and reduce by half. add the cream and reduce by half. you should have a nearly gravy like consistancy. SLOWLY add the butter bit by bit, whipping the whole time until all is added. strain and serve.

be careful not to scald the pan when the cream is added, if u dont watch it, u could burn the bottom of the pan, and there goes all ur work.


fyi: this recipe on a much larger scale is exactly the one used by Macaroni Grill. http://www.macaronigrill.com/

enjoy.

WTF is a shallot and leek? Man I shop at Kroger. LOL, never heard of that.

[DaRB]

a shallot is a type of onion, smaller and sort of a off red color. a leek is like a really big green onion. just goto the produce section, they have them.

[SmackDab]

What's an "orange ruffy" (other than the crass thing I said above)?

[DaRB]

orange ruffy is a type of fish.

Australian fish, tastes damn good, even with just lemon pepper on it. So freaking tasty. Bake it on a broil pan...mmmm good.

[Freebird]

Ahhh, man. You gotta do what you gotta do, but I was looking forward to you coming up to Minnesota. :(

But, hell, you can still come visit. ;)
