Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for September 13, 2011

Beef Burgundy with Ketchup? (for the Superman fans)

Its like the no cook salad with the one hour prep, and several dishes to wash.

The proper way is to clean up as you prepare, leaving only the serving dish left to wash.

Thankfully the microwave oven and paper plates have cured me of this OCD behavior.Excuse me while I fold these paper plates.

My granddad was a professional cook, and he religiously washed pots, knives, bowls, etc. as soon as he finished with them during food prep. It was a wonder to watch him prepare Thanksgiving dinner; when we sat down to feast the kitchen was already as clean as a whistle. I have to admit I didn’t learn much from him in this regard.

I sympathize, Janis. I’ve got the same beef with my husband making dinner.

When my wife was alive, I always did the cooking. Beef burgundy was one of her favorites. And yes, it does take a lot of prep using a lot of dishes. But if you make it in a slow-cooker/crock pot, you have several hours to clean all that up before you eat.

Nice irony – or sarcasm!

Runar- My friend and I made it for high school French club way back when, but I’ve never made it since. I would love to have a crock pot recipe. I know it would take so much time and space, but if you have the time and are so inclined, I’d treasure a tried and true recipe. The internet gives me option overload. (If you can’t for any reason, please forgive me for being so presumptuous.)

BEEF BURGANDY !!! Where are the fish fingers and custard??

but what a great memory to share- imagine all the people who could share in that joy- a legacy to say ‘remember that great recipe we got from "Arlo’ ’ and the story behind it- but any way for an easy delicious one try http://www.goodbite.com/how/slow-cooker-beef-bourguignon

Kwitcherbellyachin. He said one pot, didn’t he? Nothing about measuring cups, bowls, etc…

I guess that means Janis cleans…after all Arlo cooked!

Throw everything in one dish and stir until it’s done!

You ever notice when men cook, they tend to use every pot and pan in the house-and leave the dishwashing to their wives.

Reminds me of Rachel Ray. 30 minute meals and an hour and a half to clean up the kitchen.

Beef burgundy? Never saw it translated from bourguignon before. Is this part of you Americans trashing the French?

I don’t understand why it takes so many dishes. I never use measuring cups and slice (most) things over the pot/pan, whatever happend to pinches, dollops and smidgens?

Meine Frau kocht so!
