Ditto for boiling it. :-( A late friend of mine, whose mother's side of the family was Russian, had an aunt who boiled everything; as Gary once said, "I swear she boiled her toast!" On one occasion his family had dinner at her home, and he was dismayed that she had boiled a fine cut of beef brisket, which "shimmied back and forth on its serving plate" whenever anyone just moved the plate to cut a slice for himself or herself. (Some years earlier when he had visited her for a few days, he cooked a baked potato there because her boiled ones just couldn't compare, and he said that to her, being from "the old country," it was a complete novelty!) |
