Belle (she/her)Starting with a harder first clue today since some of you are too good at guessing.
What’s for dinner tonight?
It’s beef bourguignon! Over mashed potatoes!
Which I have looked up and it’s technically a stew, so everyone who said stew, take a point. 🤣
Willow (she/her)@RavynWitch Oh that looks AMAZING. Is it served over mashed potatoes? I think I'm in love.
@MsHearthWitch it is! Here is the recipe I used:

Beef Bourguignon
Julia Childs-inspired beef bourguignon recipe with easy-to-follow instructions. Delicious chunks of beef, pearl onions, and mushrooms in a bacon-infused wine sauce. It’s amazing! Beef bourguignon is a French stew made famous by Julia Child. Her love for classic techniques and wine is exquisitely displayed in this recipe. However, I made a few simple substitutions to modernize the ingredients and methods, but don’t worry. The rich flavors are not lost! The beef and bacon first cook on the stovetop to develop gorgeous colors and textures. The cooking is completed at a consistent temperature in the oven allowing the stew to braise
@RavynWitch Saving that, omg
Thank you
@RavynWitch Feels like a stew to me.
@MsHearthWitch Close! But not quite!
@MsHearthWitch Okay I have looked it up and it’s technically a stew but I’d like to note that IMO if I’m adding flour and thickening/reducing something it is no longer a stew 🤣
Tonya Marie 🏳️⚧️@RavynWitch @MsHearthWitch Some sort of goulash, then? 🤔
@RavynWitch See and for me I would thicken and reduce a stew!! lol
@MsHearthWitch Interesting! I don’t think I ever have! Then again I’m not really a huge stew/soup person, but my partner is so I’m expanding my cooking horizons for them.
@RavynWitch Oh I love soups, everything soup, all the time in the cold months.
So now I'm quite curious what you're making, thickened, but you wouldn't consider it a stew...
@RavynWitch OK, I love the BB8 timer! 😁
I'm expecting some red meat, with the red wine, tomato sauce, and Mediterranean herbs. 🤔
Judge Yuri 👩🏻⚖️@RavynWitch I don't know crap about cooking but Beef Bourguignon is the first thing I thought. 😛 Though you haven't shown bacon or 'shrooms.
@Yuriel You win!
I add the shrooms at the end so they don’t dissolve during the hour and a half in the oven. And I maaaaayyyy have forgotten to thaw the bacon and just said fuckit. 🤣
Also, Dani (my partner) says they super envy your stove. 😆
@Yuriel thanks! I do like it, very easy to clean! However, my stove at the apartment before this house was gas and I still miss the gas stovetop a bit… but then I read all these articles about gas stoves being unhealthy and like…sigh.
