I made Concombres Au Beurre as found described in Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" and made them à la Crème. It is summer, in August, in South Carolina so having the over on 375 for over an hour probably wasn't the best idea but since we have central air conditioning I figured, why not?
I also served grilled chicken, grilled vegetables (vidalia onion, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes) and served up some store-bought macaroni salad since Next To Youngest Son is not a big meat fan.
PW thought the Concombres dish was the best vegetable dish she's ever had and I feel suitable flattered!
I'm already bookmarking recipes that catch my fancy and that I can make without having to by any cookware, utensils, or fancy ingredients.
