The Italian language thing I cannot help you with ---- I am a French-speaking failure after months and months of immersion study in France over the past ten years. Your osso bucco looks and sounds as if it was delicious. I have to think your friends were quite impressed to be invited to "casual Sunday" dinner and have it ends up being osso bucco. There are some resipes I make that I just can't come up with my mother's take on it (apple crisp, for example) so I feel your pain. And, waiting to know where your next Life is going to be is hard, difficult and stressful. Really, no amount of stirring can take those feelings away. I hope you hear soon.Mary Hirschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14495234299898574943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815369823036697.post-31086150112885257822014-11-02T20:26:52.126-08:002014-11-02T20:26:52.126-08:00I'm glad there was finally an ingredient that ...I'm glad there was finally an ingredient that was easy for you to source. I shared my osso buco, too, but not so convivially - I packed some up to take to my parents and they loved it. Hope you get news, soon.

I have veal shanks in the freezer waiting for an occasion to make it again. I have not heard the solace of stirring before but I certainly bake when I'm stressed.

Many a weeknight I cook just for that moment, that solace of stirring.

I've had some similar experiences in France and it's a real education, I guess. The rice pudding with caramel on top looks fantastic (I missed that week)! I also want to add we have some friends who had to move from Italy less than a year ago due to their position in the air force and hearing their story of the stress makes me even more sympathetic. I'll think good thoughts for you!KB from Prof Who Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05948735277033941781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815369823036697.post-7267245654936189972014-10-31T17:10:42.259-07:002014-10-31T17:10:42.259-07:00I am leaving for France next week and I read that ...I am leaving for France next week and I read that if I mispronounce duck I will be ordering or calling my waiter a jerk.... language... it can get you in so much trouble.

When we hiked down into the canyon, I hugged the wall everytime someone wanted to pass us. There was no way, I was going to trust a stranger not to slip and send me on a 3,000 foot free fall. Nope. There were some people going down the trail with young (<5 years) and I can't imagine taking on that responsibility.

And it's not so much that we don't have access to veal shanks over here, it's just the cost (sigh - the 3€ per piece!!!!). I couldn't find them at very short notice (seems everyone was making osso buco last weekend - I missed some by minutes at one butcher!) but I guess I saved myself some money! Beef shanks were a pretty decent substitute!Mardi Michelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04125377934755716212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815369823036697.post-61815338422913347542014-10-31T02:06:15.629-07:002014-10-31T02:06:15.629-07:00LOL...I'm glad you didn't ask for pecorina...LOL...I'm glad you didn't ask for pecorina!!!
