This specific cut reminds me of the beef neck that my mom used to buy at rustan’s, she uses them mostly for karekare, so that it’s more meaty :)

Chapters also sells second hand books ….Mrs. Hazan’s book is currently out of stock (second hand) and priced really cheap!

If you are not in a hurry, I will try to get it for you as well!

hello bettyq! made your tomato pesto and the tomato sauce this weekend. thanks once again for all the delicious recipes you have shared. also you can get marcella hazan’s books on ebay, albeit not as reasonably priced as the philippine prices.

hi MP and bettyq. nina is right. booksale is a local chain of 2nd hand books. i gathered though that most of the books are from outside the country. they receive shipments every week. i got mine from the booksale branch in SM Cebu (i live in cebu) which is replenished every wednesday. i guess, i really just lucked out that time i got hazan’s book. but then again, i found a lot of other “classics” and must-have books too — which i get just because i feel they should be in our library.:)

bettyq, just like cwid, I too had the pleasure of tasting your ensaymada – – – absolutely divine!
BTW, thanks for the tip on the Tamarind pulp. Will look for it and use it instead for my sinigang. Am also bookmarking this for this versatile tomato sauce recipe. Thank you so much again!

On a different note, I have tried betty q’s ensaymada and it is very, very good! Thanks, betty! Let’s have coffee soon.

I just had a “vision” or my own juicy neck, as you described it, freakishly hilarious! Haha!

Hi Ms. BettyQ! Booksale is a local chain of 2nd hand books. For people with luck or patience, it usually yields great finds! I’ve even picked up a few MFK Fisher books.
PS If it’s not too much to ask, would you happen to have a recipe for a good, tart lemon bar? The ones i’ve tried end up really sweet. Also, do you reckon if they’d work well with calamansi?

Thank you! I’m a big fan of yours.

thanks betty! will do that this week. have plenty of tomatoes to vent anger on (squish-squis-squish). funny story… my son and i were baking this past week and he was kneading the dough, and remarked how difficult it was. i told him to imagine he was beating someone he dislikes as he was kneading and he said that thought actually made it easier! hehehe. on a side note, found a place that had lamb necks. yehey!!!!

You really lucked out, Maia! If I may ask, which establishment had the book sale and when was that? If it is fairly recent, I will tell my sister to just go buy it there! Many thanks as well.
