thank you all. I had a feeling it was like flipping the bird. I use that gesture often enough that I need to watch out...
I think I saw Spike use it, but it didn't register.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I've never heard of this.
That's because he's my ex-FiL (Emmett's maternal grandfather) who died a couple years ago.
Anyway, he was an excellent cook and came up with a stew recipe that I particularly love. It's a pretty standard beef stew recipe with red wine, except you add hot Italian sausage. Which makes the broth richer (from the pork) and spicier. Oh, it's so good!
So I browned the beef in olive oil. Added some chunks of garlic. Half a big yellow onion. Added the red wine. Cooked it down a bit. Then some beef stock, and some French Onion stock. Herbs and salt and pepper. More garlic (about four cloves altogether). Baby potatoes and mushrooms and carrots. Then four hot Italian sausages cut into bite sized chunks.
Bread is pugilese. Crusty Italian.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I had short ribs in the crock pot all day simmering in red wine, worcestershire sauce, ginger, five-spice, orange zest, and probably a few other things I forgot. The sauce is now chilling in the fridge so I can scrape the fat off and reduce it before we eat. Nom nom nom nom.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I like this typo. Should be pugliese (=from Puglia), but I imagine pugilistic bread would be really crusty.

I was planning to have boeuf bourguignon in the slow cooker all day, until I realized that the new recipe I wanted to try require marinating overnight. Tonight I will have to make do with the braised pork with lemon and sage (cooked in milk) that I made yesterday.
Jack Devine stew sounds divine.

It punches you in the taste buds...with deliciousness!

This ain't bad as other options go.

I'm just annoyed that my lazy-weekend-days-at-home, no-cooking-during-the-week plan has not come to fruition.

Stop working on the weekend!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I had ravioli for dinner, which was pretty boring, but then I had pumpkin pie for dessert. I think I've perfected this pumpkin pie recipe now.
