He really is. There are terrible stories coming out of there and they are potentially in the path of the storms again tonight.

Brenda, I'm about to e-mail you.
Also, it calls for either burgundy wine or another dry red--any recommendations other than burgundy? I don't drink red wine at all, so don't know anything about the different varieties.
Cabernet sauvignon is generally going to be nice and dry. And my experience is that, for wine to cook with, you really don't need to get a bottle that costs more than $10-ish.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I don't drink a lot of wine, so I buy the 4-pack of single serve bottles to keep around for cooking. Works great.
I've got a recipe for beef burgundy that calls for beef consomme--is that the same as beef broth?
You can totally use beef broth.

For a beef dish, I think a Pinot Noir would do, too. As for consommé, it's reduced and clarified and more flavorful than regular beef broth. You may want to thicken the beef broth with flour or corn starch.

Woohoo! Thanks for all the info!

I don't drink wine at all, so this is a great tip. I'll see if they have that at Jewel. If not, Binny's will be seeing me tonight.

Timelies all!
Ok, Mother Nature, you can stop any time now with the violent storms.

Burgundy = pinot noir, but really almost any red that is not particularly sweet or fruit-heavy would do.

I'm not sure what would be helpful. Should we provide encouragement, or prayers for your sanity?
