Help me decide - French recipes

That logo on the car was too much of an omen...next year they had better put a winner's podium on it!

No no no, they did it after he made the announcement that his arm was broken, kinda as a sign of support

Ahhhh...that's all right then! whew....but they can still put the winners podium on it next year!

*smirk* Psychic support crews...

Clickety-click!!!!

Ok so last night i had another dinner party - the main one!! i've never cooked anything other than bbq for 7 people before - talk about a bit of work, but I made sure that I prepped everything so when it came time to serving not a lot really needed to be done!

So the menu was nibblies of cheeses and home made pate, home made french onion dip, home mode corn relish dip and cheese and kabana with lots of different bikkies and celery and carrot sticks Dinner was Boeuf Bourguignon with butter and herb chat potatoes and desert was Chocolate tart with cream and home made raspberry sauce. I did however over cook the chocolate tart but the middle bit was ok but the edge was a bit ummm crunchy and dry

We also consumed a few beers, 2 bottles of bubbles and 5 bottles of red wine

Well done, that all looks pretty good to me, even the crunchy tart, but....
Is that all? VERY disappointing...

I don't recommend the coq au vin, I made it a couple of weeks ago for a family lunch. . it's very hard to source veal bones for the veal stock (though did after the event find a Camberwell butcher who stocks them), needless to say I spent $12 on the two packets of stock, $20 on the wine (two bottles) all up the dish cost me around $60. If finances aren't an issue go ahead and make it, it is quite nice and the good thing about it is you should start preparing three days before. . and it's ready on the day. Hope you enjoy whatever you decide on
