Great find and thanks!

Anyone who has seen "Goodfellas" should automatically upvote this. And if you haven't seen "Goodfellas"? What's wrong with you?

so does that break the record for the number of fbombs in one movie? I think the last was goodfellas....

Of course! In fact, most of the best food is within reach of non-chefs. Mince up garlic and italian parsley. Add lemon juice and olive oil. Now stuff that into the cavity of a striped bass and sear on high heat. You'll go crazy for that one.

But then again, the availability of striped bass might be a problem if you don't live close to a coast.

How about pork tenderloin with apple, walnut and cheese? Just flatten the tenderloin with a meat hammer, dice up the apple and cheese, mix'em together with the walnuts and roll them up into the tenderloin. This was the entree for one of my first tests at cooking school and the teachers went crazy for it, but it's really super easy to do.

But those are more recipes, this video was showing the technique, more than anything. Using pan drippings to cook the other elements in your supper is almost always a good idea. Next time you roast a ham, try this: paint the ham with mustard first. Now get a roasting rack, and put the ham on. Now dice up carrots, parsnips, potatos, beets- whatever root veggies you've got around. put them in the roaster around the ham and roast like normal.

The veggies will kick your ass.

I wanted to mention another thing that I noticed, and really appreciated in this video. It looks like they sliced the garlic for sauteeing the asparagus, instead of mincing it. Too many people, especially professionals, cut their garlic way too small. If you slice the garlic thinly like they appear to have done, you get much better flavour. Remember the scene in GoodFellas? Slicing the garlic with a razor blade? That's how you start a good Spaghettini Aglio e Olio. You have to shave the garlic as thin as possible.

Anyway, I dunno, i've been cooking for 7 years, and i've definitely seen a very broad spectrum of cuisine from the very simple and flavourful, to the austere and difficult. Everything has its place- sometimes the best thing is a grilled kebap from a street vendor- sometimes you want 9 courses of haute cuisine.

It's funny how it's informative but at the same time it's made like the intellectual version of the Goodfellas. I mean Albert Einstein had the same thing with this http://focus.aps.org/story/v4/st6, and his reputation is not at all tarnished.

Great Stuff.

Yes, it's mob week!

"You promised me some new Goodfellas in my profile a while ago. I've been waiting patiently. :-)"

Unfortunately, the ones I wanted are already here!
Could I interest you in some Casino?

“As mentioned on the actual post, I found the Goodfellas-Simpsons clip - http://www.videosift.com/story.php?id=24335

Got a question for you because - gasp - I have not yet seen the whole movie (that will soon change!!) - is there narration of that sort in the movie itself, or is that a riff on yet another movie?

I was blown away to find this so easily - just had to youtube search the episode title - good Youtube naming for once!

“Find it, post it Krupo! - I'd love to see that.”

BTW, other question - I thought we were once able to delete profile comments at will - did that exist? Was it removed? Just doing a sanity check.

This is in response to dag's request and tonight's Simpsons episode, "The Haw-hawked Couple", (#JABF02 / SI-1802).

I am still amazed that I was able to find this so soon. Plus I love this scene and what a wicked-awesome homage it is to the original scene in Goodfellas.
