mistake #1....left out saying to pour liquid over meat and then bake for about 2 hours

Merci bien!

Thanks for taking the time to type this out. I will definitely try it. The last recipe I used called for marinating the cubed beef for a long stretch in the wine -- "until purple." It came out very poorly.

Sorry to be dense but what is a flat L-shaped whisk?

i knew that would cause a problem....this type of whisk has a long handle and then sort of a shoe at right angles at the bottom of the handle....the shoe is oval and has coils of metal around it to scrape the bottom and whip up the sauce a bit...the whole thing is sort of L shaped...

Being with Bob and the Panda is like being in a sitcom!

it takes all the characters to be a true sitcom

Is there any doubt who is the funny one and who is the hopeless sidekick? Sort of like Yogi (Panda) and Boo Boo (Bob).

Odd, I seem to remember Yogi as a bit of a dunce and Boo Boo as having much more common sense.....
