Macaroons, videos, etc.
Three weeks ago, Pat Cahill, a reporter for the Springfield Republican (that’s a newspaper, not a politician) came to our house to interview me for an article for Passover and macaroons. She was also working with Bob Stern, a Republican news photographer. And since the world of newspapers is changing a wee bit, Bob didn’t just take a few photos for the article. He also shot a metric ton of video for their website, too. It was fun making macaroons, talking non-stop, and generally having a good time.
And how did the 3 minute and 47 second video turn out? Personally, I think Bob did a great job. But what happened to the article? Well, Pat did a terrific job, too. However, the article hasn’t appeared on their website yet, so I can’t link to it. But when it does, I’ll post it.
Meanwhile, here’s the link to the video:

Now, one question I’ve heard is, “What’s with separating the eggs in your hands? Isn’t that (pick one) gross, unsanitary, and/or generally repulsive? Shouldn’t you just pour and/or toss the yolk between the eggshell halves?” The answers are:
No, no, no, and no.
This is actually the best way to do it. If you use the shells, you risk tearing and breaking the yolks, making it impossible to separate them from the whites. And, if there’s anything gross on the egg shells (do we want to know where the eggs come from? Oy.), it’s got a good chance of communing with your yolks and whites.
So, try it once. Yes, it’ll feel funny at first. But it’s fast and clean.
And now, a heads up. This Weds, April 23, at 8:00 pm, I’ll be on WGBY (channel 57) in Springfield. It’s our local PBS station. I’ll be on the air, promoting ChefBill (that’s the biz, not me talking about myself in the third person) with a gift certificate for a dinner for eight, including a full cooking lesson for the meal. It’s all a part of their annual wine auction fundraiser. Now, if you don’t get channel 57, call your local cable company and DEMAND that they carry it. Sure, you may live in Colorado, Georgia, or maybe even Boston. That’s okay. Just call up Comcast. They’re a nice, friendly company. I’m sure they’ll connect it for you…
So, please let me know what you think of the video. Maybe this’ll be the start of a long and wild YouTube career.
