A butcher who can count ... PRICELESS.

5 veal shanks, 6 diners. This is me about to drive back to the meat counter.

1. Osso bucco?

Now that's a gorgeous dish, but a butcher who can only count up to five - well, that one bears close watching.

I'm sorry. That's the kind of aggravation no one needs.................

2. Yep, now with the full complement of shankage

Just wait ... one of my friends will now call and cancel.

3. More for you ........

I always fix my osso bucco the day before, and then reheat it, anyway. It's so much better that way.

My next trip to the market will now include veal shanks. Thank you for the reminder and inspiration.

What are you serving with the osso bucco, may I axe? I either serve it with rustic Italian bread, like a stew, if it's especially juicy, or else a simple Parmesan risotto, if I'm feeling ambitious.

In any event, good luck!

4. Caesar salad and gorgonzola polenta.

Berries with honey zabaglione for dessert.
