By year's end, she wanted a handsome man to take her to a restaurant and feed her #braised meat along with a good red wine. Was that so wrong. She chose to think not although Janna said she flirted too hard, seemed too thirsty. Her father had texted her a photo of a rectangular wooden box made of Bolivian Coffeewood with a gold cross on top. It was to be his urn when he died. She thought about that box when she considered her time-sensitive goals. It served as a memento mori. #mastoprompt

"Aargh!" The fleeing knight plunged from the cave into the river below.

The dragon snorted and said to her invited guest, "Dinner's going to be lightly #braised."

Yummilicious red wine braised lamb shank with potato gnocchi. A triumph!

I chopped and sautΓ©ed an onion, a carrot, three sticks of celery, a clove of garlic in extra virgin olive oil while browning two lamb shanks sprinkled with sea salt. After a few minutes, I covered the shanks with half water and half red wine and added three teaspoons of tomato paste. Cooked for a couple of hours at low heat till all the liquid evaporated. Processed the veggie with the juices left in the pan and used it to dress some boiled gnocchi. Some parmesan completed the job.

The little ones discussed whether we should eat meat on the bone or off the bone. Two of them agreed that the meat tastes better when they eat it from the bone, and two preferred to eat the meat off the bone using a fork and a knife. What would your take be?

Love to all πŸ––β€οΈ
