Ossobuco alla milanese (in English, often spelled 'osso buco', or as 'osso bucco' with two c's, noted by Merriam-Webster as an alternate spelling) is a dish from Milan, capital of Lombardy, of braised veal shanks. It is usually sprinkled with gremolata, a mix of parsley, garlic and lemon peel, and served with risotto alla milanese, a saffron risotto.

The shank is cut across the bone into slices about 3cm thick, browned, and braised in white wine and aromatics.

Mmmmmmmmm, ossobuco... I've only had it a few times, once with lamb shanks, usually with beef shanks, cooked by me. Usually delicious, except once when I cooked it when first visiting Albuquerque for some a2kers (I took the bit about differences in cooking time too much to heart and I developed a pan of shoe leather with fine gravy). Oh, and once in a restaurant in Modena, Italy, where it was veal, and of course perfect.


I forgot to thank Roberta for the Teuschers' champagne truffles (too busy gulping them down),



Milk does have balls, silly wabbit, and it also has duds!

though Teuschers are better, much better, she opines.

Prezzies? My ex sent me a check...
Old friends and family emailed, and I had a long talk with cousin last evening. Those are kinds of presents.

But mainly, Diane's through the operation.



Imur, you're back!

I always thought it was Lmur. Is it Imur? That changes everything...

Robbie...

long ago and far away, we used to go over to friend Harvey's house for dinner. Now dinner at Harvey's was a long affair. It tended to start with a drink or two in the den while we caught up on the week and then watched Washington Week in Review, followed by a some sometimes lengthy cooking on which he may have made a start.. or not; for example, it might have been risotto making time for moi.... followed by dinner, usually wine, and more talk.

Well, one evening Harvey wanted to go for a walk after dinner and I was dead to the world, what with a long work day before all that, so I stayed for a nap and ex and Harvey went for a walk in downtown Beverly Hills, which was nearby.

They woke me up with a bag of Teuschers' waving in front of my face.....

Nice way to be awakened.

There's a Teuscher's in Rockefeller Center. When I worked there, I would stop by and get one. Da best.

You'd all like those from the local confiserie (and café) in town ...

Ok, I'll be bald about my opinion: ..... Make candy, not war.


The homely arts are not low arts to me, but a way to relate across the earth.
