What kind of sauces? Usually a little sauterne white cooking wine reduced, add some garlic, some butter, and some heavy whipping cream. That's an easy base for any specialty white sauce.

:Q Ass Iguana to be exact. If you have difficulty finding any, PM Fausto1... he has plenty to go around.

haha... no, it's really not that difficult. Just massage some salt into the beef and let it sit at room temp for 30 minutes prior to cooking.

Hey, that's pretty good. Do you put any cheese in it? Any olive oil? spices?

I was trying out a recipe the other day, that calls for "soft cheese" without specify what type.
The first time I did it, the sauce was very runny like milk. Second time, I put too much cheese I guess, the sauce turns out to be a block of melted cheese.....
What type of cheese would you use for that? I used Jack both times.

Personally I love parmesan and gouda.

Here's a nice quick and easy (and cheap) recipe to try:

Ingredients:
10 oz Penne Pasta or Bowtie Pasta, cooked al'dente.
1/2 Cup sauterne cooking wine
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp (aprox 6 cloves) fresh garlic, pressed
6-8 oz. Boneless chicken breasts, sliceded into 1/2" strips (no longer than 2" though)
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
8 oz sun dried tomatoes
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup grated parmesean (not from the shakers, though)

In a large saute pan, add the wine, butter, garlic and chicken. Cook over medium high heat untill the chicken is white all the way through. Add the mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes and let saute for 5 minutes (if wine level gets too low, add some more, just guesstimate it :)). Add the whipping cream and allow to come to a full boil. Add the cheese, stirring constantly to avoid clumping, and let it thicken for 3-5 minutes. You don't want the sauce to be too thick, but not watery either. Maybe a chowder consistancy. Add the noodles to the sauces and stir it :) Viola... Pasta Milano Ala Beau!

I'm not excellent at anything, merely good at a whole long list of things. it's thoroughly annoying :| I can do almost ANYTHING "fine" or "good" but I can't truly excel at anything...at least I haven't found it yet.

Sounds like sh!t on a shingle no matter how you spell it. Serve that on a submarine and you'll get your ass whipped.


BTW my specialty is free-lance gynecology.

Well, I would have said I'm a damn good Die Repairman, but after my day at work today we'll leave the damn good out.

I felt like the plate spinner on Ed Sullivan only I lost a couple today. Tomarrow's another day.
