Beef Stew in Red Wine Sauce
This recipe was great but there are couple of things I’d recommend. You only get four servings with what you see below. For all the effort I’d recommend doubling up so you can freeze some or serve a larger crowd. I also think a stew like this could use some starch so some cubed potatoes might had added a lot. Other than that the stew was a fantastic 4 of 5 as long as you know it’s going to take you a while to make.
Southern Cornbread with Molasses-Bourbon Butter
Last weekend we made this recipe for corn bread and the accompanying butter spread to go with stew. The corn bread recipe itself seemed a little pedestrian so we kicked it up a notch and made more of a Mexican corn bread by adding real corn kernels and diced jalapeno peppers. I’d give the bread 3 of 5 stars.
Yesterday I was hit by a car while biking to work
Somehow a car hit me while I was going full speed on my bike and I’m OK. In fact, I made our daily team scrum meeting. I’ve been riding my bike north on East Lake Sammamish the 7.5 miles to work 2-3 times a week for the last year. It seems like a fairly safe activity and I’m usually well prepared with reflective clothing, blinking lights, a helmet, gloves, and all the other gear you need to make it a daily endeavor. Gretchen worries about me, but I’ve never thought much of it… until now.

Sea Scallops in Chanpagne Sauce
Last week Gret and I made the Scallops in Champagne Sauce. We served a simple salad on the side. Make sure your skillet is hot enough to brown each side of the scallop so you get the proper texture when making this. This one gets a 4 out of five. The sauce was great.
Four Innings in a Scrimage
The Diablo Nation held our annual Rocky V Cascade scrimage yesterday in Seattle. It’s the first time I’ve felt like I’ve seen consistent play from both teams on offense and defense. Still a lot to learn over the course of the season for both teams, but I feel ready for opening weekend next week.
Next round of public service announcements
Don’t torment animals… especially ones that can eat you…
Something that would never happen at a Seattle Sporting Event
The story is here{.}, but the best part is the video…
This one should have everything
Today’s game is iether going to be a classic or a big let down. Doesn’t look to be building up as anything in between. Dice-K versus Ichiro AND Dice-K versus the phenom Felix AND the first home start for Boston’s 103 million dollar man. I’d tape the game and watch it when I get home, but I don’t think I’ll be able to avoid it at Diablo batting practice tonight that’s held in the SODO district with every M’s game blaring.
Does gretchen want a pink zune or a brown one?
It’s more of a girly pink{.}, judging by the picture, than the pink RAZR.
