so now I put two drops of merlot in my bottle of jack,goes further that way.
quick recipe for cooking only,
quart of water,half bottle of merlot that has at least a three berry blend,ie,raspberry,strawberry,and cherry.
in a stock pot,combine this with chopped celery,chopped onion,chopped green onion,bay leaf,chopped garlic,salt,pepper,a sprig of thyme and rosemary.
simmer until mixture is reduced by half and pour into a crock pot,add your favorite cut of beef roast.
when the beef is about half way cooked,add potatoes and carrots,slow cook until taters and carrots are tender.
mash the taters and top with butter and freshly chopped chives.
drink the other half bottle of merlot while stuff is cooking.
