:lol: when i make the dish which will probably be sometime soon now that i just finished typing all that. I will take pics as it is made and give more explanation on how to do it. the thing is when you buy the veal buy a big enough piece to use the trimmings. the hint here though all the recipe you can reduce down by equal amounts to serve less so it won't be as expensive.
cuz that size peice of veal loin would probably run you around a 100 bucks or so at the whole foods market and that is the only place i would by something like that DO NOT!! I repeat DO NOT get the veal at you local grocery store i don't know where they get there meats but they all suck. there is one good place here off commercial and 441 Gennaro's It's an Italian Farmers Market great buys and good meats, fish, chicken.

There are a few places that have good products around. I was in a whole foods today and they are on crack price wise. I need to go look at Carmines again to see what they are getting.

I should throw one screwball recipe like that in a week or so and keep the rest a little simpler until you guys get the hang of all the different terms and things. cuz now we have the section it is gonna be like school. oh and speaking of food i better get my ass in the kitchen and put something together! I will make a new thread later I'm gonna call it Food 101 With RobGixxer. And i'm gonna start with all the basics. Stocks, Soups, New spices that you probably never heard of. how to identify them, safety measures all that stuff. so everyone stay tuned, if you love food as much as i do and have a passion for it. I think you can benefit from all this. And it is with great pleasure i will pass on this info to you. So then i can come over and eat and not have to cook so much :lol:

well the thing with whole foods as you know everything is of the highest quality! and freshness and all organic no chemicals. this is why the food network uses them to supply all the the chefs on the shows with product. and the better the quality you use the better quality results you will end up with for a finished dish. plus they have all the exotics that you won't find in a reg. grocery store. when you go to the whole foods market you need only to get what you are going to be making for the the meal nothing more. don't do a shopping spree there cus with out all the preservitives the stuff will be no good after a short peridof time. get your recipe go there and get what you need only. i can get out of there for like 15 - 20 dollars sometimes. unless i'm getting some killer meats or seafood but for the most part it ain't that bad.

If I want seafood I get it from somebody who just killed it :D I used to get it myself :sulk:

BTW I have a recipe I want to run by you sometime. I have the main part but I need sides and maybe a wine to go with it. I don't drink wine so it's hard for me to pick one :rofl2:
