This weeks menu is Braised Oxtail with Wine and Herbs and Polenta.
Jim and I both agreed that we are willing to try a lot of things, but just didn't feel like a tail was one of them. If someone else made it and we could taste it, we would totally do that. And if we liked it, I would be all over this. But... that is not the case, I'm sorry to say. If you want to make this and invite us over. Great! I'll bring a cake. So we're skipping week 5 and we'll see you for week 6, Spanish Vegetable Tortilla and Cod in Tomato Sauce. Sounds yummy!
In an unrelated incident, Jim wanted a Snickers Bar and all we had were Milky Ways, so he improvised.
He's always got SOMETHING up his sleeve.
Brenday, that is too bad you guys skipped it. You could have replaced it with short ribs and would have gotten the same effect, but without the metal picture of Oxtail. :)
ReplyDeleteI like Jim improv as well!
Yes, I immediately though short ribs. Where's this recipe? I have some short ribs. Maybe I'll make it.
ReplyDeleteMaybe next time I have some ribs I'll try it. I don't know, Jim is also not a fan of things that are 'gravy-esque' He might get mad if I make ribs (one of his favorites) into gravy. Eh, we'll see. It's on page 351 of the cook book.
ReplyDeleteI agree Brenda- Oxtail is something I could never bring myself to try in all the years my grandmother made it. Not very gutsy, eh?
ReplyDeleteMakeshift snickers=love.
