Terri's Chicken Cordon Bleu remains warm

An evening with Ernie 10/22/2013

Did You Know? - The origins of original cordon bleu as a schnitzel filled with cheese are in Switzerland, probably around the 1940s, first mentioned in a cookbook from 1949. The earliest reference to "chicken cordon bleu" in The New York Times is dated to 1967, while similar veal recipes are found from at least 1955. The French term Cordon Bleu is translated as "Blue Ribbon". The dish should not be confused with the cooking school of the same name.

Meanwhile in the kitchen the pace is becoming frantic ... Salad is being created

Did You Know? - The word "salad" comes from the French salade of the same meaning, from the Latin salata (salty), from sal (salt). In English, the word first appears as "salad" or "sallet" in the 14th century.

Salt is associated with salad because vegetables were seasoned with brine or salty oil-and-vinegar dressings during Roman times.

The terminology "salad days", meaning a "time of youthful inexperience" (on notion of "green"), is first recorded by Shakespeare in 1606, while the use of salad bar first appeared in American English in 1976.

Does this mean eight olives???

Did You Know? - Much speculation has been made about where the olive was derived from. Some say it was a joke played on Adam and Eve by God. The story goes that God originally made these small black olives grow out of the ground as animal droppings. Indeed someone eventually fell for it and was stupid enough to eat this 'fruit of life'.

The first man to ever chew and swallow an 'olive' was Jergon Tomcruise Ballterbeater. Jergon realized that he had placed the equivalence of deer feces in his mouth and immediately began vomiting uncontrollably for 6 days, after which he died of a freak toaster-bathtub accident while suffering from a ruptured nipple. It is said that God saw this and began thinking that humans were made too stupid but was too lazy to change humans and later forgot about it while playing Need For Speed Underground 2 on his Xbox360. So God simply changed the olive into a vegetable without changing its appearance.
