This Valentine’s Day was a busy one for us, so instead of heading out to a restaurant after a long day, we opted to have a quiet dinner at home. On the menu: a delicious Slow-Cooked Beef Ragu over Pappardelle pasta. [note: I used Beef Stock instead of water and bouillon, and used a cupRead more about Valentine’s Day:Two great recipes![…]
I think we need to create some sort of “social media time out” for people who, despite being warned over and over again, continue to fall for hoaxes that have made the rounds on social media, only to be debunked multiple times.

This year’s menu…and yes, we decided that escargots does count as a fish, even though it is technically a land snail.
