Made too much food again. Almost five lbs. of browned cubed chuck, bouquet garni that didn’t survive my vigorous stirring. Mushrooms, pearl onions, a Moldovan wine, carrots and mirepoix.

Gotta say that I enjoy Manischewistz a little better. Perhaps it’s better with cheese or other foods?

Scarfing down a bowl of mint chocolate chip ice cream and I feel this could be the start of a very slippery slope into unprecedented levels of binge-stress eating. But I’m savoring it at least!

Cauldron full of boeuf bourguignon started last night! I took off all the fat this morning and have plans for this with baguette or mashed potatoes. Used a combo of Julia Child, Anthony Bourdain and Ina Garten recipes and the fancy mushroom mix from Costco!
