me make food

i usually make sauces with milk to cut down on the fat, but we had to try a heavy one. Oh man was it good. I looked up some recipes and some called for thickening with corn starch while others said to reduce the cream. I decided to use a bit of roux and reduce the cream.

So I actually measured for this one. Started on the roux and used 3 tablespoons of butter and 3 tablespoons of all purpose flour. Slightly browned it and put in a coffee cup for later use.

Omnomicon is a really cool site. Filled with pics and delicious looking food that covers a broad range of stuff.

No Recipes is pretty cool as well.

So on the food front at home. We ate at Vincenzo’s a few weeks back and she got an asiago chicken pasta dish and asked why ours never tastes as good. Well when I make white sauces at home I do not use heavy cream, I use milk, and I try to cut down on butter and other things to make it at least a bit more healthy. But I am going to try and make one of those killer sauces here soon. There is one condition though. We must have salads for dinner the night before and after. That is fair I think.
