Which nothing but reminds me. Mike ordered Veal Francese at a restaurant last week. After it was served, I called the waitress and asked to see the menu. I wanted to see the written description of this item. Well, Francese was NOT on the menu. There were Veal Parmigian, Veal Marsala, Veal Piccata but no Francese.

This dish had mushrooms and I could taste the Marsala wine/Sherry combination. I told the waitress this is not Veal Francese. She spoke to the cook who confirmed that he had made it with garlic, Marsala and Sherry. I informed her that a. -- the veal was not cooked "Francese" style which means that the veal is first floured THEN coated with egg and fried. And, b. the traditional Francese sauce is made with butter/olive oil, white wine, chicken stock, lemon, S&P and parsley. Although the waitress didn't have a clue, to her credit, she googled it on her phone and verified my recipe.

I was annoyed and wanted to made a big deal out of it but my overly sweet, complaisant husband prevented me from doing so -- "it's my dish and I'm not complaining" -- he is a lot nicer than me!

I will have to NOTHING but make that some time even though I hear that veal is rather expensive in the store.

Will need to have the countertop raised or replaced to make room for normal size washer/dryer. BestBuy has been wonderful so far and said no problem -- we want you to be happy. Can you imagine that? I may go with LG for the replacements. Not sure if I should get with or without pedestal.
We got NOTHING but the Pedestals and don't regret the decision one little bit. I think I have to change my stubborn mind about Best Buy. They have become more Customer Oriented than when the got fired by us in N.J.

My experience returning a Television that was 2 or 3 days over the time limit was handled well by their staff. Looking back, they made me Happy.

We want you to Be Happy. An Actual Miracle, glad that happened for you.

Tal,

You can substitute chicken cutlets in this recipe -- just make sure they are cut very thin and/or pounded out to tenderize. Just as good if you follow the recipe. In fact here it is -- Chicken Francese

Oh my -- some are sleeping at the helm. I call myself out on a Nothing Violation. 2nd in about 3 months. Guess I'm going to h-e-double-hockey-sticks in a hand basket. (What on earth does that expression mean anyway?)

WELL, our Lobster Loving Buddy first off somehow you have to Weasel in the word NOTHING into your post only in this thread though. It is a brainless harmless fun thing to do but if you forget to insert your NOTHING into Something them you'll probably come up wit Nuttin. I'm never clear so I did my best cause I wanted to make you feel at home.

Your post was fine except fo uno thing. You forgoteth your N O T H I N G. I'll let someone else access the fine as I'm usually the fine E, not the fine er. Welcome to NOTHING lobster 610.
