Can You Handle the Stink?
Pleasant Ridge Reserve is our "house" cheese. When it first appears in October it has a totally different smell, and taste than it does when it finally runs out...usually around April. As it has become more well known I fear the limited supply will be depleted sooner. Perhaps my genius husband deserves a wheel for Valentines Day...nothing says love quite like the stink of cheese.

Sunday Supper: Beef Stroganoff
i love beef strogonoff... my sister-in-law says her way is better and cheaper, but you decide....
brown ground beef in skillet, add canned mushrooms and a can of cream of mushroom soup , 1 soup can of water and a large spoon of sour cream serve over elbow macaroni....... does this sound horrible.... yes it does if you are expecting strogonoff........ good if you are expecting hamburger helper from scratch......

Sunday Supper: Beef Stroganoff
Vanessa, that looks FABULOUS. Oxtail is ridiculously expensive nowadays - I remember back when we could get them for about $4 for a giant package. Nowadays, they sell for 12-15 bucks. BOOOO.
I adore stroganoff - there's something about that rich, creamy beefy sauce on top of some noodles. (I'll confess that sometimes, I've just spooned sauce into a bowl and sopped it up with some crusty bread.)
