I wish you could all come and eat with me tonight

Dear GOD this is delicious!

Tonight after work, with the cold and the bike-riding and my little incident earlier, I was in the mood for some comfort food.

So I made a beef Burgundy (well, more of a beef Bordeaux) from a recipe by one of those wonderful curvaceous women TV chefs--Nigella Lawson or the Barefoot Contessa or somebody, who clearly stole it from Julia Child: all cubes of beef and wine and bacon and mushrooms and carrots and onions and pepper and garlic, slow-cooked in a heavy pot in the oven. It just came out, and I am enjoying a bowlful of it now.

There's a loaf of ciabatta bread and some butter, and gosh, I wish I could share it with all of you--I've got a nice salad too, so the vegetarians could join us!

Thank you for my star cookies, sparky77, llaras, lambourngb and buffyaddict13. You've helped make the winter holiday season so bright!

You, too, can have beef burgundy (http://www.easy-french-food.com/beef-bourguignon-recipe.html). It's fun to make.
