French onion soup:

medtran49 - I used your recipe posted on the site here, with the exception of the Gewürztraminer, since we’re out of that. It came out really well!

We celebrated Valentine’s Day today, little late but oh well. Husband made a steak, with brie and apple salad. Served with a good pinot noir, and a crackling fire in the fireplace.

That recipe is OLD! It came out of some cooking magazine, one of the fancy ones. What wine did you use? The last time I made it I thought the Gert made it too sweet and I was going to try something different next time. I think our tastes have changed over time.

Made pasta sauce in the crockpot (slow cooker). I had some lamb bones and beef rib bones ithat I stewed and deboned, then added more beef, lamb, Italian sausage meatballs, mushrooms, onion, garlic, red wine, and herbs. Slow cooked about 44 hours. Served over cheese ravioli tonight and will freeze the rest.

Looks good.
Not eating anything uncooked for now.
There's cholera in the area and I'm rather safe than sorry

Lunch today was homemade pasta.
Very happy
This was left over from when I made lasagne. I froze it.
Put in boiling water and was good to go once the water came back to the boil.
Simple sauce of olive oil, garlic, chili, tomato, capers and some oregano

Last night TVC made us a chicken and veggie broth using left over chicken, bacon and veggies...delicious just too hungry to take a pic. The rest of the left over veg is being happily devoured by our guinea boy.

Paella; today I used a prawn stock made from shells from some Atlantic prawns and it made a terrific difference in the taste.

I used what I had on hand, Sauvignon Blanc, and it was fine. I’ve used it before, though if I’m buying a wine for it, it’s usually Pinot Grigio
