It’s a good ole cowboy recipe. Works with just about everything.

Annie:
Throw it on the fire then ya eat it.

Roberta:
Thank you for all your insightful cooking tips, on next week’s show –

Sal:
Of course, on occasion you may want to cook up a little Brochette Dijon Flambe.

Roberta:
Well now that sounds interesting. How would you prepare that?

Sal:
Get yourself a good bunch of Brochette Dijon Flambe and throw it on the fire.

Annie:
Then ya eat it.

Roberta:
That is a fancy French recipe. I can’t believe you just throw it on the fire.

Annie:
Cause ya don’t speak French. so ya don’t know that flambe means fire. See? Throw it on the flambe. That’s the French way to say it.

Billy:
Then ya eat it.

Roberta:
Thank you all for those wonderful cooking tips. Next week be with us as we find out from the Tombstone gang what kind of food to eat while you're on the run from the sheriff.
