I remember working in the kitchen at a large TM facility. The pizza trays had just come out of the oven, late as usual. As they were being wheeled out to the hungry course participants (TM teachers learning the sidhis programme), the entire baker's rack hit a crack in the floor and toppled

Slice Zukes or yellow summer squash in thin slices the long way, little olive oil, salt, pepper and if you really want to get sporty fresh grated Parmesan or Romano cheese. This is the important part. Grill or broil. They have too much water to cook with water, you want to concentrate the

Thanks for the recipe Curtis - maybe if I drink enough the next time I am BBQing I'll throw a zuch on the barbie - After all, with enough garlic, olive oil, sea salt, dry cheese and freshly cracked black pepper, I could probably eat a shoe. :-) --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,

Shoes require the same pre-soaking as salt cod. Then I recommend a pressure cooker like you are cooking tendon. When they are soft wack it with half fish sauce, half lime juice, a little sugar, garlic chopped super fine, and Thai chilies, red hot and sliced thin. Oh yeah, important point,

Excellent! Would you suggest new shoes fresh off the rack, or perhaps something seasoned by the wearer first? And what about the synthetic, plastic and rubber shoes I wear? I'm thinking either blend a fine grind in with some beef, pork and spices, stuffing it into casings for some very chewy

I'm kind of a purist, only pure leather for me, although I like the idea of sausage filler maybe cut with high quality artisnally raised fatback.(Shoes are very lean like venison.) I've smoked them after the soak but before the pressure cooker before and that works pretty well for another layer

Best food I ever had on a course was the first six month course in Courcheval. The chef was German. I believe his name was Michael. I remember one time he made goolab jamuns by boiling down the milk himself, instead of using condensed or powederd milk. I think one time he also made a

Yeah, when I was getting my black belt in Indian food running the sidhaland kitchen in Avon Park Florida, I made the cooked down milk, Gulab Jamuns (fried in pure ghee), barfi and kulfi. It took hours but it was the real deal. Powdered milk is bullshit. Your cook was the real deal. The only

Every morning in Seelisberg I would get a ladle full of that morning's cream that had risen to the top, and steam it and then put saffron and honey in it. Eating it with almonds made me feel like the most Ayurvedically hooked up dude around. They had so many great dairy products there from
