Fearless, I think that the beef stew I made last year for the Nebraska game in Minneapolis was much closer to beef bourguignon than normal beef stew, due to a generous slug of red wine instead of just water for the beef stock.
Celebrating with the in-laws. Homemade cinnamon rolls tomorrow morning, stuffed shells and steak tomorrow night, GR Christmas soup next week, and homemade Chicago-style deep dish pizza for NYE.
Merry Christmas to all of you wonderful folks.
