  3. If it was a French Bistro/ Brassiere type place it probably was Sauce Choron, it starts with your typical Bernaise reduction ( White wine vinegar, shallots, black peppercorn mignonette, and TARRAGON) it is then mixed with egg yolks and a little water to form a sabayon, this in turn has clarified butter added to it. You then have Sauce Bernaise, now you take a reduction of finely diced peeled seeded tomatoes and shallots, butter and reduce that, it is then added to the Bernaise along with some tomatoe paste and chopped FRESH TARRAGON and Chervil. This is Sauce Choron, a classical presentaion with steak.

  4. I want to thank Suzanne and HWOE for hosting this shindig. It was great to finally put faces with all of you. I am in agreement with most, the pecan pie was amazing, my only disappointment, I was in too much of a food coma to eat another slice. Looking forward to next one, potlucks are fun when everyone can cook!!!

    BTW; HWOE thanks for swapping bottles, looking forward to trying it, but hate to waste it on my roomies.

  5. Due to my limited cooking utensils, here are the two choices to choose from, you guys let me know:

    1. Mediterranean Seafood Terrine ( Shrimp and Scallops)

    2. A Gruyere and Olive cake with roasted tomato sauce

    Plus maybe someone could let me know where I am going, I am coming from Roosevelt Island

  6. Belmont, there's always the Greenmarket for hunting and gathering, if you're stuck.  :wub:   :wub:   Otherwise, what Soba said.  :biggrin:

    That is what I am looking forward to!!!!!!!!! I will keep you posted as to what I will be doing

    Well I have made it to NYC, and my cooking accomidations suck, but I did take my first ever walk through the Greenmarket today, how awesome is that!!!!!!!!! You guys are freakin' spoiled. Good stuff abounds.

  7. The restaurant industry will let you know if you're ready for it.  Trust me. 

    How long or little time do you think one needs to know if they have the right stuff to make it in this industry??
