My sis, BIL, and nephew consistently visit us (my mum and me) every weekend, so we all have a meal together, but there's a catch - we never know if they're coming for Saturday dinner or Sunday lunch. So Saturday afternoon I'm going to prepare boeuf bourguignon, since it gets tastier once reheated - if they come Sat or Sun that's what they're going to eat, then we just need to buy some fresh bread and it's done. Bonus points that my BIL loves wine stews.
Beyond that it's all about preparing myself for travelling Tuesday. Going to visit an 80yo aunt, just to check how things are going with her.
might as well share the stew recipe here
This is for four people, and I'd rather have some leftovers, so I'll probably scale it up a wee bit.If it were just for me I'd serve it with creamy polenta, but knowing my folks it got to be bread and rice.
On the roux: it's 1cs flour + 1cs butter. I simply add the butter to a non-sticky pan, let it melt under the lowest fire possible, add the flour, and keep stirring constantly.
