  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

A good old fashion mushroom white sauce.


1 pound of mushrooms
1 cup of cream
1 cup of either Chardonnay (Or other oaky white wine...try to stick to the german whites) or 1 cup of Sherry (Not a cream sherry...stay with a lighter sherry)
Additional 1/2 cup of white wine or sherry
Kosher salt
Black pepper
2 cloves of Garlic, minced
Dripping from beef/pork/veal (whatever you are using)
1/2 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
Good Olive Oil
Flour to dust

Heat olive oil in medium frying pan under medium heat. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute (DO NOT BURN!) Add mushrooms and two liberal pinches of Kosher Salt. Mushrooms will absorb all the liquid, a little more olive oil may be needed until they express their moisture. Add drippings, red pepper and flour to mushrooms, increase the heat and saute until mixture is almost dry.

CAREFUL HERE!

Remove pan from flame, and add white wine. (Watch for flame up, keep the pan away from your face) Add to heat, and allow to simmer down until almost dry again. Add an additional 1/2 cup of white wine (Flame to try to disapate the alcohol). Simmer for 2 minutes, remove from heat and stir in cream. If it's not thin enough for you, feel free to add more white wine. Taste and reseason if desired.


And remember....use only a white wine that you are willing to drink. You don't have to spend alot of money on really good white wine, but cooking wine or cheap wine just won't cut it here.
