we went on a lobster boat tour out of bar harbor 2 years ago and it was amazing! i forget the town it was in but it was about 2-3 miles away from bar harbor. im sure you could google it. have fun!
i bought the same thing from dartagnan last year. the shoulder i slow braised in milk,vegys and herbs and it was like pork butter. delicious! the rack-lion i let age in cryovac for a week and rubbed with herbs and salt and pepper and roasted to medium and that also was like pork butter also. very very good. a little pricey but worth it for a tasting or special dinner. let me know how you prepare it. enjoy!
look up gizzard confit. im sure it would work the same way because there both really muscular meats. i would maybe cut it in smaller pieces so it wouldn't take 8 hours but still cook it low heat and a 2-3 hours or until nice and tender.
i would look up burlington also. brattleboro is a nice little town but burlington is really beautiful and very close to canada. either way vermont is a great place to live. good luck!
i seen a nice ming tsai where he mixed 4 parts balsalmic with 1 part chinese vinegar and reduced,,,then mixed in blender with canole oil to mellow it out. sounded like a nice option.
babern,,,enjoy vegas! when you get tickets to le reve ask for the waterfront tickets. its really nice being right down close! they say you could get wet but nobody was wet the day we went. its a great show!
let the chicken thaw out in the fridge overnight before you cook it. if you cook it frozen then the outside will really dry out by the time the inside is at a safe temp. i've done it many times.
my family used to make "black eggy". start by melting butter in a saute pan and add ground beef.(about 2-3 ounces for 2 jumbo eggs). stir around and break up beef until almost cooked then add eggs and about 3 -4 tablespoons of milk and scramble until cooked but still a touch runny. then plate and season with salt and a little hot sauce. saracha is very good with these. yumm!
we were told that prime beef is now finished with 5 weeks of corn because of cost. normally is would be finished for 10 weeks. as far as choice,,im not sure what there being finished with now.
