I love French cuisine and it is so difficult to find anymore unless one goes to New York or Chicago or L.A. and even better, PARIS! So I get to dream and drool when I read your recipes! I'd love to make this someday and reduce the cognac as you recommend. Also I'm glad that you're recovering, I know your pain! Do take care of yourself. We've missed you too!

You have a very special relationship:)<br /><br />This is a fantastic looking dish. I love the idea of serving it over country bread. You've provided some really good tips, too. I can definitely see how a smokey bacon could overpower this dish and ruin it.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731435798319897025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209877942576268533.post-74056685900616984662013-03-02T21:04:25.155-05:002013-03-02T21:04:25.155-05:00So glad you are doing well!

I hurt my back a couple of years ago moving and it's never been right since. The doctor told me it probably wouldn't be and he was right, unfortunately. I have a friend who suffers with terrible back pain pretty frequently and let me say I had a whole new appreciation of what she and others go through once I hurt my back and couldn't hardly move for two weeks. At least you have a wonderful partner to help with the cooking. And he does take marvelous photographs.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273095879606906106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209877942576268533.post-40423001639521196422013-03-01T17:19:46.175-05:002013-03-01T17:19:46.175-05:00Welcome back, Sam!
