Great input, whether quibbling with the information, improving on it or
modifying it. We did a modified version of this with a duck breast,
very hot pan, seared the hell out of it, they had it lay back for a bit
to get through to the middle. We did oversalt it, as he recommended,
and found it a useful tip. Made another version of the killer shallot
sauce and it was sublimely wonderful. This we had with the wife's 3rd
different tomato soup, this time an Indian incarnation. We got
tomatoes and gotta move them.

Thanks for the viewpoints!
