Random hair
The other night for dinner, I got a bit of a hair up my ass and went to town with dinner.
I made a version of beef burgundy, which really wasn't beef burgundy. I cooked some stew beef with onions and mushrooms for a bit, then added some red wine (St. Lawrence Red from the 1000 Islands Winery), let that simmer for a bit, then I added a couple packets of gravy mix and water, and let it all simmer together.
I also threw together some glazed carrots, that didn't quite glaze, but were good. The recipe called for a 16oz bag of baby carrots, 1 cup of water, 1/3 cup of brown sugar; packed, 2 tbs of butter, and salt and pepper to taste. Boil it all until the carrots are cooked and the liquid is reduced. it turned out well, if not a bit too sweet. I may make it again tonight and cut back on the sugar. Maybe 1/4 cup this time.
On top of that, I roasted up some cauliflower. I was going to do a mash with it, but decided to just leave it roasted. Turned out yummy.
