First, I made oven-braised Mexican beef!!!!
I haven’t exactly tasted it yet, because it’s quarter past eleven and it just got done cooking (not so great on the timing of things yet), but it looks like the picture! And I only had to call my sister with two Cooking for Dumbs questions: (1) How important is a half-teaspoon of fish sauce in a recipe that uses 2.5 lbs of beef? [She said not terribly but that I should’ve just come over because she has some. Of course she does.] (2) It’s not a good idea to leave the oven on while I go to the gym, right? [Right.]
Second, I was this close to calling the cops to report the screaming domestic dispute next door when I looked outside and Durham’s Finest were already there. Nice work, guys!
Third, HOW GREAT IS THE BLOG’S NEW LOOK? Big thanks to Angie at Lime Tiger, who is not only talented but funny and fun to work with, and Phil, to whom I emailed the documentation for the theme and said, “Wah. You do it.” And he did. What a gem, that guy.
Did you get the Mexican braised beef recipe from Kate or paleonomnomeatthismeatstuffnow.com? Because that was our Thanksgiving!!! And it was fanfucking (can I say that here?) tastic!
I got it from Kate! Who got it from paleonomnomeatthismeatstuffnow.com! I can’t wait to try it for my lunch today! Hahahaha, you just asked if you could curse. Here. Ha hahahaha.
