I used good beef filet .. red wine instead of white, beef broth instead of chicken .. outstanding!! Best of all is learning how to deal w/those silly onions - boiled them for 2 minutes & the skins slipped off like magic. Great leftovers!! Especially good for those of us who live in the boonies.<BR/>Good job, Crabby.

But back to your problem, buy dried herbs, anything is better than no herbs. As for the cippolini onions. Try using frozen pearl onions. It's not the same, but you're going for the mouth feel of a whole onion as opposed to a diced one. Otherwise try to find some really small onions, and use them whole. If none of that is available, you may want to consider moving.www.crabbycook.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285213125446494347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1800413003522809580.post-78899218013021812232008-03-21T11:50:00.000-07:002008-03-21T11:50:00.000-07:00ps: After Googling Gaida, I'd have to say, while s...ps: After Googling Gaida, I'd have to say, while she doesn't have quite the same effect on me, ya gotta admire those Magiffies - they are pretty spectacular.

I am willing to drive 30 miles to order cuts of meat (I mean, locally I can get chuck roast or anemic chicken loaded with hormones and antibiotics), but I need a little help on the more esoteric ingredients...<BR/>Yours from The North,<BR/>mrsklondikeRobinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962180501234521700noreply@blogger.com
