THERE! That's what I was trying to say! Not bad for my first attempt, eh? And I made the crust from scratch, too!

Terrific looking pie, good job!

Okay, here's my recipe for beef ???? It's somewhere between a soup and a stew so Ron name it as you see fit....

I start with 3/4 - 1 pound of beef.... Drizzle olive oil over it and mix it up. Then add Garlic powder, Onion Powder, Black Pepper and Montreal seasoning and spread it out and let it marinade while you get everything else ready. Usually a couple tsp of garlic and onion powder and a TBS of Montreal, but eye ball it.

A couple of rings of olive oil in the cold pan...
I large onion medium dice
Celery thinly sliced to equal the onion. I cut across the bunch to get all the good pieces.
2-3 carrots to equal 1/2 the celery.

Add just enough salt to make the veg sweat Maybe a 1/2 tsp.

Stir and turn the fire on to medium low heat (4) on my stove.

Cut up three potatoes in bite sized pieces and drain a can of mushrooms.

Cook the initial veg until the onions are translucent then add 4 cloves of minced garlic. Cook until Garlic is fragrant.

Add red wine to deglaze pan and let the wine evaporate.

Move the veg to the side and add the beef. Brown the beef and cook it into the veg. Deglaze the pan again. Add potatoes and mushrooms along with 1 TBS Italian seasoning, 1 tsp red pepper flake, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp chipotle pepper and 2 nice sized bay leaves.

Add two quarts of beef stock. Then add a 1/2 head of cabbage.

Thanks for the recipe Bob!

Can you guess what’s for Christmas dinner?

Congrats Jared!

easiest recipe when making several different flavors: use any cake mix plus 1 cup flour, make a well in bowl. add 2 eggs, 1/2 cup melted butter, 2 tsp vanilla plus 3/4 cup of any extras
(choc. chips, chopped nuts, coconut, sprinkles, etc.) Mix to dough consistency. Divide into 2 logs 1" diameter---flatten and shape. Bake 20 min 350. Cool 10 min, then slice into biscotti. Lay each slice on side to bake 10 min more. When cooled, can dip ends in melted chocolate, or coat with drizzle of glaze. Suggestions: vanilla cake mix with dried cranberries, lemon cake with coconut, chocolate cake with nuts/choc chips, spice cake with nuts. Glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar,1 tbl corn syrup, 2 tbl milk,1 tsp vanilla

Thanks for the recipe, I've never seen biscotti made that way.

As I have always said if you don't learn something new every day you have lost. This is how I have lived my life. I feel it really is true.

Okay, today I learned it’s okay to throw marshmallows at children. I also learned that I am too old to fall without injury, and that I procrastinated fixing a coop door for nothing. I’m done learning for a few days!
