Bon Appetit

What cut of meat used?
My dad used to use a inexpensive cut & it turns out great/tender if done right!
It`s well, like stew(I miss it!).

Me, I could`t pull off this dish, I`m a grille guy myself...

The cheap cut that turns out great...am I wrong to think it is cooked in a slow cooker?

Cook I`m not(but I sure do know how to eat!)

I used some stew beef @ $2.99 a pound, marinated it in a bottle of almost undrinkable red wine and it was melt in your mouth tender. I suppose it could be in a slow cooker but mine was baked at 350 degree covered for approx. 2 hours.

Hubby is still telling me how much he enjoyed it.

Thanks Pamela. Now I have an idea what to do with all the red wine I have left over from a party. (I expected 5 red wine drinkers, only 2 showed up. One brought a bottle and the other decided to drink white!

Glad it turned out. I didn't see Julie Julia. It was only on STX a short time, and I missed it. I see it's on PPV. I've never done that, but I might give it a try, if I think I have a time when I won't get interrupted.

Juanita,

it was fun. I was even speaking with a very, very bad french accent. Another use for all that red wine is coq au vin. The chicken will just melt in your mouth!

Happy Day to all.

greetings all...the movie was the GREATEST...and not just a chick flick either...one of the most delightful movies i have seen in ages and one of the first in a long time that i went to the theater to see rather than waiting for it to come out on video or PPV...meryl was fantastic, but then she is one of my fave actors.
gourmet cooking is not as hard as it appears...read the recipes, relax and enjoy yourselves. i not only still enjoy cooking professionally for 41 years, i still enjoy cooking for friends and family.
everyone have a great week...

Sis,
You're in Atlanta, right? Where do you cook?

My daughter gave us a Netflix membership for Christmas. My first movie will be Julie Julia! She's such a good daughter. I wonder if she was reading this. LOL

Sis,

Thank you! Now can you help me stop? So far it's been the beef burgandy, chicken and cream with mushrooms (careful not to crowd them 🙂 carrot/raisin cupcakes, banana bread is in the oven and just picked fresh limes for lime pie. Can you tell me if I can hand beat the ingredients? I do not have a hand mixer. Haven't been on a baking binge in years 🙂

Pamela

depends on your recipe for the pie sis...if it is the recipe using sweetened condensed milk you can hand beat no problem...but if you are going to whip egg whites and so i would suggest investing in a hand mixer.
you can use a whisk or an egg beater but you will be whisking forever and your arms are gonna die...mine do when i make home made mayonaise.

You make homemade mayonaise? Wow, I'm impressed! I tried that once back when I was a young bride in 19@#:-) and when back to Kraft in a hurry.
