She may be referring to this one

There was a show a couple of years ago too that featured ex-con cooks.
Not sure of the name or network.

Whatever network it's on, it sounded like an interesting idea when I
saw the advertisement.

The one she's talking about is professionals vs amateurs with talent
and the judges have to guess which is which (the way I understood the
concept).

Nope. You're wrong. I just looked it up as I rarely watch BRAVO. It's
Cooks Vs. Cons.

It's not about convicts but people trying to con the judges into thinking
they are chefs.

Yes but I found it to be stupid and boring.

I have always done it on a rack. Of all times I have done duck, only one
was not a disappointment or utter failure.

I already broke it out to 6 meals for you. It can easily be 9.
 
There is a reason why Americans tend to top the weight charts on
obesity. Lets just say in our case, we have a grunch of leftovers.

Years ago, I used to do it with a very heavy, strong (large) spoon. I
would press the sugar and butter against the edge of a bowl and keep
turning it. Of course, it was easier when I used a mixer.

With the back of the spoon. Just sort of press it into the bowl, stir,
press it into the bowl, repeat...

They did it with a spoon. I still see the occasional recipe that calls
for creaming butter and sugar with a spoon. Nuts to that. I use a hand
mixer.

Softened butter and the back of a spoon. :)

Of course!
 
I don't think I've been without a mixer since I was a wee tad. My mom
usta have one of those classic Sunbeam stand mixers. I've made baked
Alaska, by hand, using a balloon whisk, but never hadda cream
sugar/butter together, by hand.

I've never used anything electric to cream butter and sugar. Usually I
use a spoon, sometimes a fork or my pastry cutter, and occasionally my bare
hands.

Not too much veal being served, these days.
 
Heck, even the veal is not veal! Original Joe's, in San Jose, was
caught subbing chicken or pork (I forget) for their veal scallopini.
Busted!

just showing my preference

I am backing you, cshenk. My French Canadian Mother-in-law made potato
pancakes as you make them (she called them "popettes). Just with
leftover mashed potatoes and an egg and fried them up. Hubby would like
me to make them but I have never made them.

You pitched it?? You could have put a piece of bread in with it and
the sugar would have resurrected within a day or two.

A piece of citrus rind freshens sugar.

And exactly what brand of bread accomplishes this miraculous feat?

The malt syrup is an essential ingredient in malt loaf, a UK tea-time treat.
