Boeuf Bourguignon

I wish I could upload a smell. Our house smells like simmering beef, blanched bacon, onion, garlic, thyme, red wine, tomato paste, black pepper, bay leaf, and carrots, all nicely browned and deglazed and tossed together in a big granite pan and luxuriating in the oven at 325 for the next three or four hours, to be introduced to a pound of mushrooms sauteed in butter, and tiny red potatoes tossed in a butter and parsley sauce and served with a glass of red wine and a baby green salad with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Oh, and did I forget to mention a loaf of freshly baked bread? I'm going to take a nap now and just BREATHE.

Somehow this corned beef and cabbage just isn't looking (let alone smelling) so good anymore...
