We don't conform to their cookie-cutter ideal, so they feel intimidated by it, tak tercapai kalau nak ikut, tak terlawan nak ditanding, so they resort to what make them feel bigger, by bullying and putting us down.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">Sama saja the boys, those yang bullied and called you names, sebab depa rasa threatened by you, or more likely some had a crush on you tapi tak tau nak buat apa, so started teasing you and that got out of hand, benda tak elok ni cepat orang ikut.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">As for the teachers, apart from one or two sadistic ones, the rest are more comfortable listening and believing 'cerita' from those yang depa rasa depa boleh faham compared to those like you and I, it's simpler for them to label the likes of us as troublemaker and bad influence dari nak siasat the truth. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">These bullies put us down, bully us to break us, so that we either conform or we breakdown and lose who we are meant be. I had to stop letting those cruel things and bad episodes define me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to grow and be happy with my life. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">If I'm going to be sad, I want it to be because of my own mistake or tragedy, not something bullies inflicted on me out of their own insecurities years ago. I don't want them to live in my head rent-free, and parasitically destroying my fabulous self. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">It wasn't easy Ujie, at times they do pop up and screw me up, but hey! I'm not going to let them control my life anymore. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">Remember I told you how I met some of those bullies and realized how sad they look now? Bukan dah jadi supervillian ka apa pun, just a sad looking makcik who will not even be a quarter of who we are today.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">Jiwa depa sakit, that's why depa buat semua tu kat kita, kalau depa normal like they think they are, they wouldn't have done all those things, so toksah menyakitkan jiwa dan diri kita lagi sebab depa sakit jiwa. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">Nak minta depa apologize? What will that get us? Lega? Puas hati? Rasa terbela? All bullying will stop? Silap silap lepas depa dah apologies satni kita dok fikir pulak, depa ikhlas ka minta maaf, or depa do so just to make fun of us, hence the vicious cycle continues. 35 years later they are still 'bullying' us, only this time we are enabling them, giving them the power to do so. We have suffered long enough to let them continue doing that. Imagine the great things that we are meant to achieve and know that it's not too late to achieve it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">Panjang dah aku merepek ni.

Constantly pulling up her body unto my chest to kiss my face, jumping onto my lap to make cookies just like she did the first day I saw her in our garden.

Started cleaning the two pots and lids immediately using Bar Keeper's Friend paste + powder & scourer pad - I prefer powder to the paste, seems more effective to me.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">This pan however, was just not getting clean. The burn marks seem embedded onto the surface, three rounds of scrubbing was just not working. Our go-to degreaser solution for cleaning stainless steel stoves didn't work either, all I ended up with was a pair of peeling palm that were 'catching' on to my fleece blankets & a pan still covered in burn marks all over! I was almost ready to part with it, someone already offered to buy the pan from me 'as-is', for the price I paid for the set.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">Lucky Zz saw a video of someone cleaning a very stained stainless steel pot using just baking soda and water. As we are big fans of baking soda in this household - we always have at least a couple of kilo on standby, I knew I must try this!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">I placed an 18" aluminum 'kuih' tray on the stove, then filled it with some water, place the copper pan into it, then turned on the heat and topped with more water so the the pan is completely submerged. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">Added a generous amount of baking soda into the water.

She was specific, she wanted Bukhari Rice and it has to be with beef, the rest is up to me. I knew I had to make the dish, as my uncle who was unwell really love it. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">Luck has it my regular meat guy closes on Tuesday, and so began the great hunt for beef ribs that took us to 3 markets and 4 butcher shops - apparently Penangites are more into mutton and lambs these days! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">Mama and I, with help from Zz and the two boys made from scratch the Bukhari Rice with beef ribs and briskets, Pan Sheet Grilled Chicken with Gravy, two types of salads and salsa sauce for forty people in under 4 hours. It was really exhausting, but the result was really worth it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">And this time I managed to write down the recipe that has been passed down for many generations verbally, and in 'guesstimate' measurement. Even Mama's versions are hits and misses, most time they don't pass Baba's finicky tastebuds, which can leads to some sulking, but that's another story.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">When the whole house started to smell just like when Baba cooks, we knew we have hit jackpot! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">And later when Baba tasted it, I saw in the midst of pride, a moment of sadness in his eyes when he said, "People will not remember me anymore".</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">I'm glad that it was a success, more so when my Ami Radzi gave me thumbs up and said "Sedap macam selalu" eventhough he was in pain from the cuts and bruises on his face.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">Yesterday I recreated the recipe, on my own this time, for 10 people, just for us at home. I'd say I'm almost 80% there. Maybe because I made it with just brisket, hence no deep flavor from rib bones, maybe because I removed most of the oil from the stock, maybe I added too much orange peel because the orange is too big, maybe because I didn't use the right type of shallots. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">Maybe, mine will never be as good as Baba's, he is after all a legend around here.</span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhV06avpUgz9A987ISNHze7fFlqcCFPXMYq7_8QumdJHy_3I4FmyVVTnFdS5naH8JCQRWGt9d8YIT2QDo7ARxBaildyty__3QHYWw8e8XFqW9hDtIK7Yb-j0F8GKO4c54iXg4RMsWxFISvttYYVOtUcER1aldkpaazFaPjXyHMzPgJp6a4w4g=s1350" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhV06avpUgz9A987ISNHze7fFlqcCFPXMYq7_8QumdJHy_3I4FmyVVTnFdS5naH8JCQRWGt9d8YIT2QDo7ARxBaildyty__3QHYWw8e8XFqW9hDtIK7Yb-j0F8GKO4c54iXg4RMsWxFISvttYYVOtUcER1aldkpaazFaPjXyHMzPgJp6a4w4g=w512-h640" width="512" /></a></div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiLrnyVhgERPuEvLnOzQgbVYROaTynaAL4gvcpAKZtX_gtZzWx5nGWE-_ECaGgBiHbqfFuPot8OwqNkf9G9doQ5VRoxUsN06dFpa-CRP_nKvy3dXae1WTPOqbS_bhWaXZCHB3u2eZTa9nLXnjS9QTTezO_IRJ2kMljMvOtE6LjRR4ZaDhH-bA=s1350" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiLrnyVhgERPuEvLnOzQgbVYROaTynaAL4gvcpAKZtX_gtZzWx5nGWE-_ECaGgBiHbqfFuPot8OwqNkf9G9doQ5VRoxUsN06dFpa-CRP_nKvy3dXae1WTPOqbS_bhWaXZCHB3u2eZTa9nLXnjS9QTTezO_IRJ2kMljMvOtE6LjRR4ZaDhH-bA=w512-h640" width="512" /></a></div><br />Faten Rafiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09164085457322747101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11913125.post-88445280267646383372019-11-09T22:04:00.002+08:002023-11-09T22:06:09.993+08:00Happiness<p> "If your happiness only depends on positive happenings, you might not be happy that often, because a lot of shit happens as well.

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Our little Miss had a little misadventure yesterday. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We thought the glue traps we set up for the shrew were all very well hidden in the darkest corner under the lowest cabinet, away from prying whiskers and nosey paws. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well apparently we didn't do a very good job, because within minutes of being let out of her 'apartment' Bibik M could hear a commotion out in the living hall. Latte has somehow managed to get one of the trap boards out from the cabinet and have it stuck on her right foot! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She was struggling to get it off and won't let Bibik M help her, eventually ending up outside my bedroom crying for help while I was in the shower. She finally surrendered to Bibik M who proceed to remove the board from her leg and rub loads of cooking oil to help remove the glue. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Poor baby was whimpering when Bibik M took her upstairs to me. I applied more oil, let glue 'soak' for another 30 minutes and gave Latte's foot a proper rub with dish washing liquid and gave her a warm bath which she really enjoys and helped her calm down. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And Bibik M who spoils her worse than I do, waited by her side as she sun bath to dry off fur. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She appears alright now, just some part of her fur still has some oil residue, hence it looks like she's ungroomed. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Happy to report that she's back to chewing on our arms and fingers, chasing after her balls as usual, and there's absolutely no problem with her appetite either! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">There's an old Arab verse that my late grandfather used to say which goes,</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">"When guest comes over for a visit, serve them 'sherbet' (cool drink) if you want your guest to leave quickly. They will drink and leave immediately. However, if you want your guest to stay, serve them tea, they drink and chat, and friends will become family."</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I grew up practising the Irish or rather the Arab way, then went on the the American way in my younger days when guest are just dropping by or on rushing off to another place.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Now as I get older and guests and friends are more relaxed, they visit and sit down for chats, there's always hot tea or coffee, with copious amount of water for them. On hot days, there's extra cold drinks too. And I always ask their preference, hot or cold drink or water at least. Plus if they are lucky, the next meal will be at my place too <span class="_5mfr" style="margin: 0px 1px;"><span class="_6qdm" style="background-image: url("https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t57/1/16/1f609.png"); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: contain; color: transparent; display: inline-block; height: 16px; text-shadow: none; vertical-align: text-bottom; width: 16px;">😉</span></span></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #1c1e21;">In Ireland, you go to someone's house, and she asks you if you want a cup of tea.

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">'Cha om' is a mimosa-like leaves of the acacia shrub. It has a very distinctive smell and flavor, much like a very mild 'petai' (stinky bean). It's often made into omelette, though you can also make a simple stir-fry with shrimp and chili paste.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I first encountered 'cha om' at a Hatyai market over a decade ago. I actually mistook it for fern tips, so I bought home two huge bundle as the lady was selling it for almost a song. The whole journey home I was grumbling that someone must have bought a lot of 'petai' and it's stinking the whole bus, little did I know it was the bundles by my feet!</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Upon reaching Penang and realizing that it's not fern tips after all, I decided to consult my grand aunt Maryam who's a Thai on how to best cook 'cha om'. She suggested making omelette, in stirfry and also Kaengsom, a sour Thai curry.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">A few years later I found that there's actually a 'cha om' plant at the Pasir Mas home. My MIL told me that they used to eat this raw with sambal, but not many do these days. I tried to harvest some, but it's just too hard as the shrub is tall and full of thorns. And stripping the leaves tip from the main stalk left my hands full of bloody pricks.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Since then I have not come across this vegetable in any market here in Malaysia at all, until last Thursday at the market. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The omelette is quite easy and quick to make. Add chopped 'cha om' tip to beaten eggs, season with fish sauce and a tiny bit of sugar. Fry the omelette in copious amount of hot oil, the traditional Thai way.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">The lady that I usually get my Asian herbs at the market makes 'nasi ulam' herb bundles every Friday. Each bundle consist of fifteen different herbs, half of which I am not familiar with. Of course I couldn't resist getting one, seeing how fresh and fragrant they are.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Even though I grew up eating 'nasi ulam' whenever I visit my mom's sister, it's not a dish I've made before. I am in fact more familiar with the east coast style of rice salad, the 'Nasi Kerabu', which I learne</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace; font-size: large;">d to make from my mother in law and have even taught during my classes.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">So a couple of days ago I made my very first ever 'Nasi Ulam Utara' with the herb bundle I got from the market, plus about a dozen more herb and spices from my kitchen garden. We even made 'kerisek' from scratch and fire-grilled the 'ikan talang masin' before pounding it in a pestle and mortar.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">
</span></span>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Can't believe it was such a big hit, we made two huge bowls and everyone went for seconds and thirds. Personally I think I need a few more practice run to get the flavor right. Looks like we will be having this quite often now.</span></div>

I know I am not a chef.</span></div><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Being a chef requires years of training and hard work plus high-level of skills, all those that you'd have to earn. I am very far from that, hence I am not a chef.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I think it's insulting to the profession when everyone working in the kitchen (especially non professional ones) get addressed as chef. Just because there's no professional body awarding the title, people should not be too liberal in handing them out. Not everyone who cooks are chef, being a cook is wonderful and such an honor too. After all, chef are cook too.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I remember the first few times I was addressed as chef, I was quite offended as I felt that I was being made fun of. It took me some time to accept that they are just very liberal in addressing people who are in the culinary world as chef. I know I am still not a chef, so I will keep correcting them.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I am not a chef, I am a home cook, and proud of it.</div></span><div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
To most people, a cook and a chef are the same thing. The two terms are used interchangeably to indicate someone working away in the kitchen, regardless of whether that individual is cutting vegetables or masterminding the entire menu.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
For those who work in the culinary field, however, there is a big difference. Although there is no single professional organization that determines exactly who is a chef and who is a cook, most agree that the difference lies in education and experience.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
If you have a culinary degree and/or trained under a notable chef and have moved up the ranks, you are typically considered a chef. If you simply dabble in the kitchen at home or are just starting out at the bottom of the restaurant totem pole, you are almost always considered a cook.</div>

Most people agree that a cook is lower-ranking than a chef, and that chefs themselves vary in rank. For example, an executive chef is the top of the line, while sous chefs, chefs de partie, and other professionals might have the right training, but are still working toward their top professional goals.</div>

If you still aren’t sure exactly what it is that makes a chef a chef, consider these qualifications:</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
There are some culinary institutions (including the American Culinary Federation) that offer designations and titles based on testing, work experience, and education. Although many organizations and restaurants recognize these distinctions (and will boost your career accordingly), they aren’t required to be a chef or to be successful in your own culinary career.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
In most cases, the cook is below the chef in terms of prestige, pay, and career development. However, there are instances in which this isn’t true. Many home cooks or amateurs have skills and experience that surpass that of their chef counterparts; they simply may not make claim to the title.</div>

Famous Cooks vs. Famous Chefs</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
In fact, many of the <a href="https://www.reluctantgourmet.com/celebrity-chef-culinary-schools/" style="color: #d26f37; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;" title="Culinary Careers and Hollywood Fame">celebrity chefs</a> we have come to know and love as a culture aren’t really chefs at all. Rachael Ray and Nigella Lawson are two of the biggest names in the culinary and Hollywood world, but both women profess that they aren’t trained chefs…and have never pretended to be anything other than cooks. Self-trained, self-motivated, and never having worked in a long-term chef capacity (such as overseeing a restaurant), they are just two examples of cooks who have hit it big.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">For weeks we have been craving sole meuniére after seeing Saiful post about it during his London trip.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qbZSBQ5bI74/XFmciQ7aIgI/AAAAAAABNqs/BPF82lNw0aIGJnCO7B6Kxl43Bk23NigewCEwYBhgL/s1600/49202849_10156842914749061_6639265153164509184_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="540" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qbZSBQ5bI74/XFmciQ7aIgI/AAAAAAABNqs/BPF82lNw0aIGJnCO7B6Kxl43Bk23NigewCEwYBhgL/s1600/49202849_10156842914749061_6639265153164509184_n.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And a few days ago, I found a good sized sole during one of my early morning market runs. The fish was very fresh and was a good size too, weighing about 1.2kg.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As it was my first time ever cleaning and preparing a sole, it took a bit reading and Googling to learn the techniques. Armed with my new Kai chef knife, an hour later we had two good sized fillets skinned and a bon<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">us of some fish roe (plus a Faten covered in fishscales and smelling like fish that Latte keep biting on my fingers)</span></span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I decided to make my first sole meuniere a bit more decadent and flavorful, by not cooking it with just butter the classic way (what's more decadent than cooking in loads of butter?!), adding finely chopped shallot and finishing it with cream.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As the fillets were quite big, the dish was enough to feed four (and two cats) generously.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So here's my very own 'Sole meuniére with a cream and échalote sauce' made from scratch, a side of blanched baby spinach.</span></div>
