Just finished blanching some pearl onions. Soon I'll be making some beef stew. I have 2.5 lbs of boneless Chuck that I will be cubing in a few minutes.

On a related note the love of my life and I dropped off Spawn1 and his gf at JAX yesterday morning and took the opportunity to visit a place that carries Wolf, Viking, etc., dual fuel ranges. We are getting close to pulling the trigger on a serious cooking appliance. I want to go 48" for the double oven, but we have no need for that much cook top real estate. We'll probably go 36" with 6 burners and maybe in the future get a small stand-alone convection oven.
