Took long enough, but it was kinda worth it!

Sorry everyone, I got totally busy last week and couldn't manage to get enough time to make the meal I wanted to.  So, I did last week's meal, today.  To recap, my ingredients were: veal, burgundy wine, and turnips.  This is what I made.  Veal tips with a burgundy wine mushroom sauce and mashed turnip/carrot puree.

It didn't turn out too bad, I forgot to leave enough time to make the rice I wanted to, so I left that off. 

The responses: 


Princess:  She said that the veal was awesome, and she liked the sauce, however she didn't care for the mushrooms, she said that there was too much of an alcohol taste to them. She also said that the turnip/carrot puree was better than my moms!!!!! :D SCORE!!!!


Monkey:  Word for word:  "Meat good, sauce good, mushrooms bad. I liked the carrots and turnips."  He agreed that the mushrooms had too much of an alcoholic taste to them AND that my puree was better than my moms! :D  SCORE 2!!!

Me: I will have to agree with my Princess and my Monkey.  Surprisingly, the veal was pretty good (for tortured baby cow), I liked the sauce without the mushrooms, and the mushrooms had a rather strong alcoholic taste to them.  I would never, EVER claim to make anything better than my mom, but the puree was pretty darn good. :)

The Boyfriend: Unfortunately, The Boyfriend had to work early again, so he didn't get to taste it tonight.  Maybe when he gets home he'll be hungry. :) 


All in all, the meal was decent.  I'm not sure if I will cook with a wine again unless I can find a way to weaken the alcoholic taste in the meal.  I might, however, try beer battered onion rings or chicken. I'm also not sure what the heck to do with the rest of the wine!  I drank some, but I didn't really care for it.  Even though it was very good, I still don't really like the idea of eating veal and I'm not sure I would cook with it again, I'll have to think about that. 

As usual, I took pictures for y'all to see.



Thanks,
