Beef in wine sauce, over egg noodles. This is my current favorite way to convert an iffy bottle of red wine into tasty, tasty food. About a third of a bottle of shifty wine (here, a $9 cab that wasn’t actually worth $9 even before it sat re-corked in the fridge for a week) and some sirloin steak, onions and mushrooms, seasoned with garlic, pepper, salt, and a dash of thyme, and thickened with milk and flour. This batch had a dollop of sour cream added at the end because it was handy and milkfat makes everything better. It’s sort of like a quicker, easier, cheaper Beef Bourguignon. I should really try using some bits of bacon for the initial cooking fat like you do for modern beef bourguignon, theres always some around and you can’t go wrong with bacon fat.

It ought always to be remembered, that literary institutions are founded and endowed for the common good, and not for the private advantage of those who resort to them for education. It is not that they may be enabled to pass through life in an easy or reputable manner, but that their mental powers may be cultivated and improved for the benefit of society.
