Go Sit in the Corner

The other day I made another deviation from Ree.  This time out of Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking".  The only reason I tried it is because Katie and I saw this recipe being made on a cooking show and it looked simple and delicious!  The one out of Julia's cookbook is called Carbonnades a la Flamande or Beef with Beer.  I saw this recipe as a way to finally use up some of the beer left over from Tara's engagement party from a year and a half ago!!

This recipe needs to be started well in advance of dinner but comes together easily.  The meat was so tender by the time it was done.  I thought it rather interesting how each person chose to load up their plate with all the pieces of the meal.

This is Chris's plate.  Doesn't it look beautiful and yummy, all at the same time??!

Katie's plate - it's missing the green stuff.

Here is Cody's.  Lots of noodles and he took at least a few pieces of broccoli.

Dylan's plate - No veggies, just like Katie.  He still believes he'll throw up if he eats some. 

My plate, or bowl.  Yes, this is not Beef with Beer.  I had run out points (Weight Watcher's points) for the day and had to eat a salad.  (sad face)  I did take a bite off of Chris's plate and Wow! this is yummy!

 Enoch did something that Cody felt he needed to be disciplined for, so he put him in the corner.

The poor dog would look in the corner, then look at Cody.  Cody would put his face back in the corner over and over again. It was pretty funny.

After a few minutes Enoch was resigned to keeping his face in the corner - even after Cody had walked away, laughing.  Funny stuff.
