In Your Kitchen: Tarte Tatin

01.01.70

Who better to inform about me — and you — how to master tarte tatin than Jacques Pepin, the man who, perhaps more than any other chef, brought French culinary style to American restaurant and home kitchens. While Pepin’s unite friend and frequent collaborator, Julia Child, took the first, urgent steps in demystifying traditional French dishes, Pepin drew on his formal training as a chef to upon on what could be accomplished with French skills and American ingredients. Like Youth, he has reached much of his audience through his television |cooking shows, start in the early 1980s and continuing on PBS today with the companion series to his most just out book, “Essential Pepin."

One of Pepin’s ahead of time books, “La Technique,” has a prominent order in my cookbook collection, and I had the good fortune to meet and cook for the swami chef in the late 1990s, when he came to Bookends in Ridgewood to abet his then-latest book, “Cooking with Claudine.” Claudine, as Pepin fans incontrovertibly know, is his only child, an accomplished culinary professional in her own good, who co-hosted three popular public television series with her framer.

Around Livermore: More tales to tell

01.01.70

Like most sympathetic things, my writing for the Times has to come to an end.

This is my final column. A many chapter in our lives has started and it's time to let someone else write about our wonderful township. The kids are grown and on their own (mostly), and new things await me and my wife, Terry.

I started chirography this column on Feb. 9, 2000. On a whim, I answered an ad that the newspaper was looking for a columnist and, after handwriting a sample column to show the editor my style, I was eventually hired -- very likely more for my pestering than for writing ability.

Being a native of Livermore and a retired Livermore cop, I consideration I knew a lot about our wonderful town. I did, but I learned a great grapple with more over the years from you, the reader. I wrote about tragedies and triumphs that happened. I've talked about retirements, milestones in people's lives, new businesses, annual events and a mistress of ceremonies of other things.

I was able to highlight the achievements of many young people, from kindergartners to college students. Whether it was academics, on the sports department, the military or in public service, each time I featured someone, it went against the in the air belief by some that young people today are slackers. Nothing could be further from the facts in fact.

Health inspectors find meat drying on top of store's roof

01.01.70

Organization COUNTY, N.C. -- Customers at a local grocery store are appalled after fettle inspectors find strips of meat sun-drying on the roof of the upon.

A worker on a nearby roof first saw the shed with the drying strips of edibles on the roof of Compare Foods on Skyway Drive in Monroe Wednesday morning.

The workman took a video of the meat and then contacted Eyewitness Gossip and local health officials.

An Eyewitness News team asked Union County Health Department Helmsman Phillip Tarte if he believed the employees had plans to sell the dried kernel in the store.

"I think that's a strong possibility, but North Carolina law prohibits that," Tarte said.

Healthiness inspectors ordered the workers at the store to destroy and reject the meat, but say the store will not be fined because employees cooperated.

Witness News combed through Health Department records and discovered multiple serious violations in the sometime three inspections of the store's meat
