I have a bottom round thawed. It will be stew, pot roast or beef soup. I'll decide later.
We're going to the movies late this afternoon, (Murder on the Orient Express). By the time we get out of there, Happy Hour with their delicious Tapa's will be starting in a great brew pub across the street. I'll try to post some food pictures when we get home.
Check it out...
Happy Hour - Oxnard, CA | Yard House Restaurant
Sounds good to me..I had Schezwan pork belly on yu choy, chicken fried rice and I cheated and added some store bought egg rolls..I have declared Wednesdays as Asian cuisine night at my house until further notice, so tonight will be broccoli beef, steamed rice, lumpia (egg rolls) and a bottle of San Miguel.
Med...french onion soup... Could you please point me in the direction of your recipe? Sounds wonderful, especially with the gruyere croutons.
I found the soup recipe for you Cheryl: Tomato Soup, NoDak Style
Did you know that, according to artist Sanda Boynton, Wednesday was "Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day"? That's what we did - almost. Home, staying with our daughter, spending a week in our timeshare...doesn't matter. Eventually we have to have a day of leftovers!
Four servings
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 medium onions, thinly sliced (about 10 cups)
6 cups chicken stock or canned low-salt broth (we actually use 1/2 and 1/2 chicken and beef stock/broth)
1-1/2 cups Gewurztraminer
4 slices crusty french bread
4 oz (or more if you like it cheesy) raclette or gruyere cheese, sliced or grated
Melt butter in heavy large dutch-oven type pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until soft and golden for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently. Add stock and simmer for 30 minutes. Add wine and simmer for 5 minutes. (Can be made a day or 2 ahead and refrigerated, heat and bring to simmer before serving).
Toast bread slices on both sides. Then either put cheese on bread and melt in toaster oven and transfer to soup bowls or float bread on top of soup in oven-proof bowls, add cheese and place under broiler until cheese is melted.
You can use the 1/2 & 1/2 chicken and beef stock or make a good homemade beef stock which we did for this last one. Don't forget that Gewurztraminer can also be a condiment for the soup!
