I’m glad I can enjoy this dish now without having to experience what happened on the Titanic! LOL But the movie sure is a classic. 😉

That’s a very good tip. I didn’t know that. I’ll spread the word. Thanks Charles xx

What a horrible experience – it doesn’t really help now after the event, and it’s not really something you can do when you’re using both hands to hold a child aloft, but in case you ever get attacked by a vicious dog a good way of avoiding “damage” is to grab their back legs and lift. Just hang on like that and they won’t be able to jump up or bite you 🙂

This episode really is horrifying. Your family has had some truly harrowing encounters with dogs and dog bites! And once again no accountability from the owner. You are apparently pretty strong in an emergency…I think I might have fainted! I love the Titanic recipes…very nice to have! Debra

What an absolutely terrifying experience. I don’t trust any dog, even if the owner thinks otherwise. Former neighbors once had a Rottweiler that wandered into our yard several times. They said not to worry. Uh, huh.

Our daughter was bitten last summer while on a walk in south Minneapolis by a dog whose chain reached to the sidewalk. Thankfully, the bite was minor. But I told her she needed to call the police because the dog should be quarantined. So she had to return and find the exact location of the dog’s home. The owner showed no care for my daughter, never apologized. Her dog was taken away for 10 days and rightfully so.

I think it’s a lovely classic recipe, and and terrible story indeed! I’m suprised the mechanic didn’t fall over himself to help you- if not himself out of possible legal ramifications! Poor Carl and Archie!

That’s absolutely horrific, Charlie. I would have called the police. Angela made the chicken lyonnaise and it was incredibly delicious – I will make it at home one day. It was a wonderful meal.

The chicken looks so good; the sauce would make it extra special. (I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between cognac and brandy in the finished dish!)

Yesterday in Melbourne was 27 thought it was warm enough for a swim – I was wrong the Titanic flashed through my mind. How cold would it have been to be in the icy water! A good drop of cognac may have kept them warm for a little while. This chicken dish sounds sumptuous.
The least the mechanic could have done was pay the hospital bills or give you the car for nothing.
