But I suggest the Rita Hayworth primitive use her charms on the cboy4 primitive, who's much more likeable--and honest and intelligent--than the rich spoiled kid the grazing primitive. And probably better-looking too.

A butcher who can count ... PRICELESS.
5 veal shanks, 6 diners. This is me about to drive back to the meat counter.

1. Osso bucco?
Now that's a gorgeous dish, but a butcher who can only count up to five - well, that one bears close watching.
I'm sorry. That's the kind of aggravation no one needs.................

Just wait ... one of my friends will now call and cancel.

3. More for you ........
I always fix my osso bucco the day before, and then reheat it, anyway. It's so much better that way.
My next trip to the market will now include veal shanks. Thank you for the reminder and inspiration.
What are you serving with the osso bucco, may I axe? I either serve it with rustic Italian bread, like a stew, if it's especially juicy, or else a simple Parmesan risotto, if I'm feeling ambitious.
In any event, good luck!

4. Caesar salad and gorgonzola polenta.
Berries with honey zabaglione for dessert.
A third primitive interrupts the
tete-a-tete, but then all gets back on track.

5. And yes, making it a day ahead is great
Too bad I got pulled into a work emergency last evening
You know, this soap opera of sordid and tawdry passion in the cooking and baking forum of Skins's island could turn out more compelling than the surreptitious ways the sparkling husband primitive's wife slips certain, uh, chemicals, into the sparkling husband primitive's food and drinks.
