Things that make me smile #15

....enjoying a bowl of yummy naeng myun with my best buddy.

Channeling Julia

It started with watching Julie and Julia.

So I tried. I really did. Inspired by Most Likely Late, I just needed to have a taste of Beef Bourguignon.

Not sure what inspired me to go to the store to buy an actual dutch oven and put in the 3+ hours of effort for one dish. It took that long to cook everything.

But hey, I tried. 

And it wasn't bad, at all. This was shocking to me.

My foodie roommate actually enjoyed it! (Love ya Kim. :D)

{Used this recipe: The Barefoot Contessa's Company Pot roast;

Substituted apple juice for brandy.}

Bon Appétit!
