Beef Wellington by Gordon Ramsay

This recipe for Beef Wellington makes me drool. So I'm putting it in my blog to keep for easy access. It's a 2-part video.





While Max was in this weekend (3/11/12) we explored a new-to-us meat market, Hughes, outside of Paducah and got the beef and bacon for the recipe. We went to Kroger for groceries for the mushrooms, etc., and about a mile from home I realized I forgot the puff pastry. Grrrrrr.

Oh, well! I froze the beef, and during the next week I'll track down puff pastry, hopefully in Bardwell, and pick up another package of mushrooms and do it next weekend for Saturday supper.

Julia and Jacques - Beef and My Breakfast Quiche

This has been a wonderful Sunday afternoon, which I've spent watching episodes of "Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home" over at hulu.com . That's Julia Child and Jaques Pepin (Ole Asbestos Fingers).

This episode was their first and about beef. Since I wanted to remember some of the recipes and methods they used, I embedded it here.

And to start Sunday morning off right, I made Lola and myself a quiche. Yum.
