Beef's Italian Beef

11/18/2011

The Chicken Tomato Crapshoot was...well, okay. I can't tell if it was too tomato-y or what, but I would give it a solid 6 out of 10. It was just kind of "meh." And as we all know, "meh" falls squarely between "hmm" and "blech."

It should be noted, however, that I was on my last ounce of patience with the small child yesterday, and that may have contributed to my annoyance and overall feeling of blah. Thursday was not a good day for me or the Bear. Lots of butting heads and whining. Fun stuff.

Today's recipe comes to us all the way from Hobbs, New Mexico. A very, very, very nice person by the name of Kori Z sent this to me yesterday, and it was just in time, too. We tend to not cook on Friday, so I wasn't sure what I was going to do today. But Kori was prepared and very thoughtfully sent me this recipe for Italian Beef in the crock-pot. It's from her friend Beth, and apparently, Beth's nickname is "Beef." And so, the actual name of this is "Beef's Italian Beef." Very clever. :-)

Personally, I don't care what it's called - it just sounds delicious.

I'll definitely have to try this one next week, but while it makes me happy, it makes me sad, too. See, Kori was supposed to take over next year as President of Junior League. She had been waiting in the wings for several years, and but in October, her husband accepted a new job in New Mexico. I didn't know Kori very well before she left, but I had a feeling she and I would have probably been good friends. That bums me out. But here's hoping she starts a chapter of Junior League in Hobbs!

Best wishes, Kori, and thanks for sending the recipe!

Kori said I was a star and that my recipe made your blog! This is Beef by the way - horrible nickname and it's stuck since HS. Anyway, I am sure you can tell by the recipe itself but this is seriously the easiest meal to make and people go nuts for it!! Hope you enjoy - I originally got it from my stepmom and I have shared it quite a bit.

Kim you are so sweet! I'm sure we would have become great friends too. Enjoy Beef's Beef...Bethany got a kick out of the shout out on your blog, even if she probably wasn't so keen on my sharing her beloved nickname.

    Think of this as the epilogue to Bridget Jones' story. Well, mostly. Bridget marries the handsome lawyer, starts a blog while on bedrest, and decides marathon running sounds like fun. Bridget goes through a divorce but keeps running. Hilarity ensues.
