At a distant dorm, my friends and I shared the cooking facilities, each week rotating to the next person, who would make something for us all to share. I improvised a beef stew, where wine was the only cooking liquid, and was most gratified when everyone liked it. It reminds me of that stew and… Continue reading Burgundy Beef Stew
