April 13th, 2009, @ 8:01 amPeople that know me know that from time to time I will mention that there are words that really bug the crap out of me. I don’t know why but I can remember as far back as 7-8th grade dying laughing when I first heard the word plush. The same applies to words that I can’t stand, like the word slacks. So what I’m going to do is create this post as my catch-all for my word lists. I will update it everytime I encounter/re-encounter one of these dreaded … WORDS!
Here are my lists!

| words that bug me |

I won’t normally do this on this blog but from time to time I’ve been known to watch the foodchannel, of which I especially enjoy watching Alton Brown. Recently he had a show where he mentioned some of the foundations of cooking recipes. I always forget these some I’m documenting them here so I won’t have to go looking for them again!
Definition of terms
mirepoix (meer-ah-pwah)

sofrito – (so-frito)
Equal parts of tomato, garlic, & pepper. Spanish heritage.
the trinity (aka. the holy trinity)

This forum thread on cheftalk.com proved helpful in explaining some of the history etc. about these.
