I agree, good for him. I've always found him entertaining, and I'm not that surprised that he is given that amount. He's great at what he does, and if they're prepared to pay him that much, fair enough.

Some police officers in Denmark refused to answer an emergency call because they were engrossed in watching a televised World Cup football match, a Danish newspaper has reported.
The father of a 14-year-old boy phoned the police station at Gladsaxe, north-west of Copenhagen, on Monday night to report that his son had been threatened with a knife by two men on a motorcycle, who attacked the boy and stole his mobile phone, according to the tabloid, Ekstra Bladet.
He asked the police to send a patrol car as the robbers were still in the area and could be arrested.
"We can't send a car because we don't have the men" available, the police station told him.
The father decided to file a complaint and went to the station, where he was surprised to find six to eight officers watching the Italy-Ghana match.
A senior officer at Gladsaxe, Allan Enevoldsen, has opened an inquiry into the incident.
"We ought to have the resources for the armed robbery of a 14-year-old boy threatened with a knife," he said.
"And nothing in my preliminary inquiry indicates that the officers...

Good point! Although, back in the 1800's, people did more before breakfast than some of us do all day now. |
Yeah, from what I remember reading in the cookbook they would have come back in when it was light and started to eat this. Basically the woman would cook this for when they got back from doing the "before dawn" work.
I am sure evening meals were just as hearty!

Please do not judge New Mexico or Las Cruces by that video. Notice how they are rodeo people. I know quite a few people in Cruces who are very well educated and nice people, as for the state, we have more than a few!

Halibut Steaks au Poivre
For the best flavor, always grind or crush pepper just before using it. For this dish, crush whole black peppercorns in a mortar with a pestle. To give the steaks a colorful look and an interesting change in flavor, use a blend of black, green and white?or even pink?peppercorns. Black peppercorns are the hottest of the four. Green peppercorns are immature black peppercorns that have been brined to preserve them, and white peppercorns are black ones with the outer layer removed. Pink peppercorns are actually the berry of a type of rose plant.
6 halibut steaks, each about 3/4 inch thick
2 to 3 Tbs. unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp. black peppercorns, crushed, or to taste
2 large tomatoes, sliced
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
Preheat an oven to 400?F. Butter a roasting pan just large enough to hold the fish comfortably.
Rinse the halibut steaks under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Brush the fish with enough of the melted butter to coat well. Sprinkle with the pepper and press gently so it adheres to the fish....
