Er, I should mention that leakage was due to the fact that it was slow-cooked.

Still working for the two main food pantries in my area and for Christmas a local grocery store donated several boxes of bacon and sausages, rice, pastries,a and bread. So a lot of people in this area had what they needed and full stomackes for Chritmas. The store also donated dairy products (milk, cheese, etc.) even tho past the store expiration date but still decent to consume. I worked with several of the clients the day before christmas and it was very rewarding to be able to provide these gifts and most of the clients were very appreciative. Some asked for more food and were disappointed of course when we had to limit them as only so muich to go arund for so many. We did have candy tho from the donations as well and the kids seemed happy with that. It's disappointing to know that clients can visit only once in each 30 days, so you have to supply them with as much as possible within the limitations. Most make the rounds of different pantires and shelters over the month. At least we were able to provide them with healthy staples and some extras.

J-K
despite what some people might say ham and egss not bad. I somtiems have a ham salad when can afford it and is good. Not sure fs you were kidding int terms of the ham and eggs but that would be good meal people here in need. But, I believe you are serisou and very concerned. This is a tough job, J-K, no matter who does it. Tonight am feeling effects of a muscle pull from a few weeks ago so am not sure am ready to go in and heft boxes . But, pobably will because I do not like giving up.

So DS29 bought bride the two-volume set of Julia Child's original work for Christmas.
Tonight I dined on Gratin Aux Fruits de Mer, Concumbres � la Greque, and a home made batard.
You'll excuse me if I chose later to spend some time attending to the EN of Admiration!

I am going to start charging for my YANKEE TRANSLATION services! ok, folks, here is what the silly yankee man ate: Gratin Aux Fruits de Mer = tuna casserole Concumbres � la Greque = cucumber salad batard: BREAD In other words, the man had tuna casserole, cucumbers and TEXAS TOAST!!

I found this recipe a long time ago that was supposed to be a beef stew recipe of Julia Child's. It was marinated with a bit of burgundy and I don't mind if you call the recipe a French name or English name, it was delicious! Warmed our bones on a very cold winter night. I wished I still had that recipe. Time and care during cooking, I say, makes an okay meal turn out to be a heavenly meal!

"Boeuf Bourguignion", Volume 1, page 315
In the movie Julie and Julia, this is a major plot element. It is also delicious!

Fantastic! Thank you very much NG for I really missed having that recipe.
Major plot element, eh? Sounds intriguing enough to consider watching the movie.
A minute later...
Oh, ha, ha! I just looked it up on Amazon and it's one of the recipes shown in the "look inside" option.
