The page from the October 1960 Woman's Day was definitely a find. I had just enough leftover Bienville sauce to dress up 6 Oysters Rockefeller and also use it in the sauce for Thomas Keller's "Oysters & Pearls" = oyster tapioca pudding and it is yummy! The recipe calls for 1/3 cup of whipped cream, but I ran out of cream and used stiff whipped egg white. That worked and made it have a few less calories.
The Egg's Hussarde were a big hit with Lenny. His only complaint was that I skimped on the Marchand de Vin sauce. It said a spoonful and I probably put on 3 tablespoons; but being the gravy lover that he is that wasn't enough. Tonight I will make it up to him when I serve it with beef tenderloin and sauted mushrooms.
I am anxious to move on to recipe # 7 but have not decided whether or not to introduce Lenny to SPAM.
