Poor Tim. He not only had to sit through Julie & Julia with me last week, but then, had to make her Boeuf Bourguignon.
'Twas divine.
He said that when he went to our local liquor store to get the Burgundy needed for the recipe, all he could find were expensive bottles.
Tim (to clerk): Do you have any inexpensive bottles of Burgundy I can use in a recipe?
Clerk (snorting): Boeuf Bourguingnon?
Tim (sheepishly): Yeah. My wife just rented that movie.
Clerk: Follow me. I'll show you what I use.
Tim and Clerk (in unison, complete with eye rolls): Women.
If you're wondering how come I'm just getting around to this movie now, I explained in a previous post why I don't go to movies. Let's just say it's been awhile.
And, by the way, I did take a picture of this fabulous dish while it was still in the pot, but after an inordinate amount of time on the phone with tech support (there are no four-year-olds in the neighborhood to ask), I apparently need a new thingy to put in the doohickey of my camera before I can post any pictures.
Glad that's all cleared up.

We, husband included, really enjoyed this movie! Fortunately, Derek already makes a mean Boeuf Bourguingnon. Not necessarily ala Julia. The book for the movie and the Julia Child's book are both in my to read pile!

Ah, Boeuf! Where have you been all my life? (How come everyone seemed to know about it but us?)
