Where's the Beef?

Out strolling in Pa's field, of course! I finally finished my first painting from some photos I took of his colorful steers last fall. Then I went to the art store to buy another canvas for a second steer.

So... there's beef in the field and on canvas, but it's also in my big blue Le Creuset pot. My daughter made these wonderful beef short ribs when I visited my new granddaughter. They were so good that I came home and made them for Pa. The recipe is easy. You simply brown the meat, add a few ingredients, and pop them in the oven on low heat so they cook slowly. Served over egg noodles, they are delicious! While they're cooking, I can paint another big steer!

  2. What a sweet painting, Peg!
    You know, I have never cooked short ribs, but now you have made me hungry! I'm working on the mainland this week so I can't cook - but I'll bet I can find a place that serves ribs.
    I am going to put you on my sidebar so I don't miss your posts!
