Miladyinsanity, you can get extra bowls for your mixer. I have the one that came with mine and two extra: one for egg yolks, one for egg whites, and one for whipped cream.

This is a second try at posting, Abra. The last one obviously didn't make it. Thank you so much for showing me the difference between treacle and molasses. there is a sticky pudding I want to make that calls for treacle. I now know that molasses will not be an adequate substitute. Your menu for Orcas Island sounds excellent. How did the cabernet go with the vegetable course? I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed your blog. It has everything: great food, travel, excellent photography, and best of all, a bit of exposure to the life you live with Shel and your endearing animals. Thank you so much for taking the trouble.

Unless you have had the late Jean-Louis Palladin's rendition of this dish, you wil most likely not have any idea of what this dish is supposed to be. I didn't like lobster until I had his dish. No other lobster redition has come close, though I have tried in many notable restaurants. I no longer order it. Long live Jean-Louis, may he rest in peace.

Somebody asked for the pronunciation of the wine Vacqueyras. How I heard it pronounced when I was there is something like Vah-keh-RAS. The middle syllable is run over pretty fast.

Moet & Chandon is Dutch?? ← Sorry, I'm wrong. I was thinking Jouet, and got carried away. And with Jouet I'm only going on the word of someone I trust, so maybe that's not wholly true. Retracting, retracting, retracting. . . Moet is FRENCH. Has NEVER been Dutch. Named after Claude Moet. But the "t" is still pronounced. ← Both Moet et Chandon and Perrier Jouet are French Champagne. As matter of fact any Champagne appelation is French. As for the "t" in both names, unfortunatly it is not pronounced whatsoever. ← ← Was this copied in answer to my question about Bonnes Bouches? If so, I don't get it. Can someone provide a phonetic pronunciation for me? Is it something like "bone-ay bo-shay" or am I screwing it up entirely? I know absolutely nothing about French..... ← Okay, no idea about the Joet, but wouldn't Moet have to have the "T" pronounced since it is followed by the "et" thus necessitating the elision effect? ← How one knows to pronounce the "t" in Moët and Jouët is because of the presence of the umlaut (don't know the word for that in French).

But, but, but, the broccoli stems are delicious!
