Bravo on your frankness about the disarray of moving.
And a question: I've never made a court bouillon, but reading this recipe that requires peeling the shrimp so they absorb the dressing, I'd be inclined to add the shrimp peels to the court bouillon to intensify flavours... Is there a reason not to?
Thank you Tamar, for re-sharing this excellent article; I remember it well! Artusi! I love the brio of jumping in to a recipe with little or no specificity regarding measurement; it makes the dish one’s own - and I usually end up cooking that way anyway.
I love this message of giving ourselves grace in the disarray -- and (maybe even moreso) your observations about the evolution of how we write recipes. Let's hear it for narrative and context!
May the chaos of moving settle soon and may you enjoy your new apartment to the fullest!
Tamar, I am a librarian and came across Something Old, Something New at the library yesterday, borrowed it, and it’s sitting right here in front of me as I read your reprinted article about it. I am delighting in it, and just wanted to share this amazing coincidence. Also, we share a first name :) — Tamar

Absolutely no reason other than messiness. In cheesecloth maybe?

Good luck on the move!
