Just Call Me the New Julia Child...

So...the weekend before Christmas, I watched Julie & Julia while Warren was still sleeping one morning. Super good movie, by the way, if you haven't seen it. He got up when it was about halfway through, and we watched the end of it together. It got us talking about our lack in cookbooks, and I decided to order the pair of the books that the movie is based on from Amazon. The books were delivered while we were away over the holidays, so I had an extra gift waiting for me when we got home. :)

Fast forward to today. One of the recipes that we planned for the last time that we went shopping was Beouf Bourguigon. It's taken almost all afternoon (and into the evening) for this meal to prep and cook. Not ONLY did it take that recipe, but there are also two others that I had to follow, for the sauteed onions and sauteed mushrooms that go with the Beouf.

Dinner will be ready in about ten minutes, and though there was an awful lot of effort to go into this meal, I think it may have just been worth it. When I poked the beauf about ten minutes ago it was SUPER tender.

...more to come on Julia Child later!
