Boeuf Bourguignon and Hippocras

The snow has definitely stopped for the evening and my wife has arrived home, so all is well.  We had an aperitif from the south of France called Hippocras before dinner and then the Julia Child's Boeuf Bourguignon, along with our red wine from Saumur.  The beef was excellent and probably tasted better because my wife insisted we use its original French name.  The rice pudding was good too, if filling.  The photo of the JC BB  isn't ours but looks fairly similar.  Different wine of course and we had rice rather than mashed potato.  Tomorrow's dinner is likely to be a chicken curry with home made chapatis.  But University Challenge is on tv shortly.  Can't miss that.
