Stracoto with porcini mushrooms. Otherwise known as frou frou mushroom pot roast. I saw this on television months ago during my kitchenless days and have been drooling ever since, itching for a chance to make this. I'm not sure if it was the hunger from waiting 3 hours for this to burble away in the oven, or the third glass of wine by the time this was finally done, very tasty. The meat just falls apart at the first poke of a fork. Perfect for a cold winter night- as delicious as I imagined. Sigh. Another 10:30pm dinner. I probably should have started cooking earlier in the day, but I spent all afternoon furiously sanding some tiles at the clay studio. Damn anal retentiveness. Leave it to me to try to make hand made tiles look like they come out of a machine.
By the second glass of wine, I started taking away the mismatched spice bottles leaving only the black lidded glass jars. All differently colored and shaped containers get banished into the drawers, out of sight.
