I hope to hell he isn't put on the same lofty pedestal as Tim Russert. News networks, please don't spend the next week idolizing the guy.

They just love to attack gays while being gay.
"Alabama Attorney General Troy King, a conservative Republican Christian who has called homosexuality the 'downfall of society,' has been caught with his pants down—literally—in a gay sex scandal. King was reportedly nabbed having sex with a male assistant by his wife, Paige King, in the couple’s own bed."

Well, on subject, I have to say that aborting zucchini flowers when you could have the fruit is a bit much. Imagine zucchini: baked, braised, boiled, fried, roasted, zucchini bread, zucchini stews, zucchini casseroles...etc. Much more food for the bang. Try braising sliced zucchini in butter with a small Vidalia onion, a bit of garlic and basil, salt, pepper and diced ripe tomatoes. Heavenly.
Using zucchini flowers sort of reminds me of veal fetus or unborn lamb, preferred by the decadent rich.

I concur. Much rather the actual zucchini. But ya know, squash puts out tons of flowers to produce you could never eat it all. Much of it rots on the ground unless you can give it away and sometimes you can't. It's also good sometimes to thin the flowers. I see it as a win/win thing..

Agree, glasses. We run up and down the block giving it away. By the time summer's over, we're READY for root veges.

"Aborting" zucchini flowers? A bit extreme, perhaps? Especially when compared with the eating of any meat. At any rate, having grown zucchini many times in the past, and having had to deal with the tremendous output of a couple of zucchini plants, I can understand why one would want to nip some of those zucchini in the bud, so to speak. And stuffed zucchini flowers are also quite heavenly. Not so very rich, but call me decadent!

That looks delicious, Chris. I'll make some later. It's great when you know how to cook really well and can just follow along with few instructions and measurements even in another language you don't speak.

Vegetables are Pretty Too! 11-Jul-2008
It's come to this: the flowers in Regent's Park in London may soon be replaced by vegetables. The park may be divided up into parcels so that city residents can grow their own vegetables. In the Guardian newspaper, Sam Jones quotes parks' executive Colin Buttery as saying, "We very much want to support the idea of people growing their food by doing small-scale demonstrations." His idea was actually inspired by the communal vegetable gardens that have been created in many US cities.
Jones quotes sustainable foods expert Ben Reynolds, of Sustain as saying, if food shortages and prices continued increasing, and climate change gets worse, "We'll get people saying 'Well, bugger this, if I can't get the food I want, I'll grow it myself.'"

Chris, my partner and I are leaving on Tues. to go to Paris for 10 days. Can you recommend any off-the-beaten path places to see, eat (i.e. where the locals go), etc.??

I remember as a children living overseas we used to travel from Germany to Italy by train to visit my relatives my mother used to prepare homemade meatballs and we enjoyed it so much. I wish we could have a good rail system like they do in europe. We could learn so much

On Page 151 of Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" is a similar recipe. Although she uses a regular tart pastry dough. The one in the video actually looks easier, since you don't have to roll it out.

Methode pour cuir les oignons: Slice a large onion in 1/4 in slices. Put them in baking dish, small so the onions are piled on top of each other. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with thyme, winter savory, and bay leaf. LIghtly salt and pepper. Now cook the onion very slowly at 300 F for about an hour, till it has has changed color and is reduced in size by half. Onions are now ready for spreading on the pissaladiere.
In addition to olives, spread slices of fresh garden tomatoes, anchovies. Sometimes I even put quartered artichoke hearts. Drizzle lightly with oil before cooking.
When you remove cooked P. from the oven, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with marjoram before it cools.
It's all about the herbs and best quality olives and olive oil.
PS I learned about pissaladiere in Quebec, about 10 miles from the Maine border in a roadside vegetable market where they bake bread outdoors in a stone oven year round (and it gets cold in Quebec en hiver!)
