“Mark it on a screaming hot grill, and finish it in a slow oven on a bed of mirepoix. Basting and checking regularly”

“Would that be the standard mirepoix - celery, carrots, and onions or holy trinity? Raw or sauteed? Any wine or other ingredients?”

You two need to live next door to each other and both of you take care of me. The above language sounds like “Mars” talk. “mirepoix,basting,checking, standard mirepoix, celery, carrots, onions or “holy trinity” (you idiots - that is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit - you don't cook them :o). Raw, sauteed, wine, other..” See, “mirepoix” from Mars.

I know what you two are trying to do - trying to make me look bad :o)- Well, I am terrible at this and will always admit I don't know something because that's how I learn something new. Mirepoix, mirepoix, mirepoix, mirepoix, mirepoix, crap, crap. I THINK I'VE GOT IT! Crap, crap, crap!

LOL! If you were close, I'd feed you. You would have liked the pork roasts that I cured and smoked. They were very good, and I'm my biggest critic.

BTW, mirepoix is not from Mars, it's from France. But close enough. ;)

The Holy Trinity of cooking is onion, carrots, and bell peppers. It's a cajun thing.

LOL. In my case, I just watch too many shows on food network, so I naturally had to ask, because there are variations.

The holy trinity of vegetables includes peppers, so I naturally was curious to know if JR was using it instead of what I consider the standard.

I swear it wasn’t any attempt to make you look bad.LOL

Well, anyway it appears that you learned something today right? The standard home cooking with celery, carrots, and onions has a fancy name and can be traced way back in some of the old French Cooking texts, or so I’ve heard.
