Sounds like it was worth the effort, though -- yum! -- and the recipe paired beautifully with your story about your grandfather.

I can recall learning things I'd never known about my mother-in-law at her funeral. People she had helped and things she had done. We never know all of a person, do we? Wonderful post.<br />BellaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-14250275208215529652010-01-07T13:30:16.583-05:002010-01-07T13:30:16.583-05:00Isn't it wonderful to find out new things abou...Isn't it wonderful to find out new things about our ancestors? Nice story about your grandfather.<br />I can so relate to the boeuf bourg. After seeing the movie a friend of mine and I made it. It took us all day because we are slow, and did the shopping for everything Julia recommended. It was one of the best meals I've had in my life! Those flavors!!<br />Happy New Year to you and the best year ahead.<br />BTW, loved This Emotional Life. What would we all do without PBS. Looking forward to Cranford Part 2.KRCampbellArthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15185783768927918993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-73287206877956614802010-01-07T06:31:28.650-05:002010-01-07T06:31:28.650-05:00Looks divine.

It still amazes me that they have written a book about why french women do not get fat.

How wonderful...I love your family stories, Jeanie. How wonderful you had the chance to talk to the daughter who gave you a different perspective on your grandpa. I would appreciate having that kind of conversation with someone who knew my grandpa (whose way of saying I love you was to tease without mercy!).<br /><br />The beef looks delicious, but I will have to live vicariously through you. My hour after hour days in the kitchen are definitely over.<br /><br />I have found a wonderful restaurant here, that I think you would appreciate:<br />http://www.lamerenda125.com/<br />Serving tapas (little dishes) that are international - not just Spanish. Everyone in the party orders two or three, and then you share. Yum!!!!! Thai red curry, lamb shanks, butternut stuffed ravioli, osso buco, lobster arancini.... my mouth is watering. If you are ever in Milwaukee, I will take you to dinner! (like when you come to Irish fest next summer) And the desserts are to die for - okay, my food rant is over.<br />Happy new yearAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-31225831022344043022010-01-06T18:37:24.268-05:002010-01-06T18:37:24.268-05:00The beef looks good and I had a giggle at the wine...The beef looks good and I had a giggle at the wine.

CottageGirl said it took her 5 1/2 hours. That, and all those dirty pans, is devotion.<br /><br />I imagine it is totally delicious.

The story of your Grandfather brought goosebumps and I love the picture of him with his wife. <br />I am glad you warned me about the recipe - I will never make it (I am vego, but the time would count me out anyway). It sounds like an experience rather than a meal.<br /><br />Have I said Happy New Year?

I remember the wine and I made it while my mother-in-law sat and watched! I think I may have had to swig some of that wine!! (haha, I wish, I'm allergic!). K, not too swift here, did you print the recipe somewhere??? lol <br /><br />I love the idea of your learning so much about your gf through a daughter of an old employee of his.
