I thought those mushrooms were more pork. I still haven’t gotten over your BBQ extravaganza.

The eggs are fresh chicken eggs from Quattro Game Farm in Pleasant Valley, New York. Yolks are brighter than normal supermarket eggs, and the flavor is markedly different. It’s like night and day. One dozen eggs goes for $3.50.

‘sweating’ in this case means ‘To cook slowly over low heat in butter, usually covered, without browning.’
