Tim was on TV this morning!!

The local news did a St. Patrick's Day segment and visited Tim's pub to talk about a recipe they are running as a special. He cooked it up live so of course we had to TIVO it. Max was ecstatic to see it when he got home from school. I was impressed myself. No stuttering or looking nervous. It was like he had been doing it all along. I've been trying to find the segment on their website so I can post a link, but so far it's not there. GRR! I'll keep checking, maybe it'll be there in a day or two. For anyone who might be interested, here is the recipe

Guinness Braised Beef Short Ribs
Ingredients

10# Beef Short Ribs
1 # Diced Onion
8oz Diced Carrots
8oz Diced Celery
6ea Bay Leaves
2c Tomato Paste
15ea Black Peppercorns
1 Bunch Fresh Thyme
1qt Water
1 Can Guinness
2c Port Wine

Process
Brown short ribs in skillet on all sides, add vegetables, bay leaves, peppercorns and tomato paste, when vegetables begin to brown add Guinness and Port Wine, Reduce liquid by 2/3 add water, cover and simmer in 275 degree oven for 2-3 hours.

This looks slightly different than what he did. He used chicken stock rather than water, and mentioned a 300* oven on his segment. He served it with horseradish mashed potatoes and baby carrots and green beans. I'm telling you, I usually hate short ribs, but seeing them all cooked up sure made them look yummy! Hopefully he brings me a bite home, but I won't hold my breath.

I'll keep checking for them to have the video online and if they ever add it, I'll make sure to post it here. Maybe he can figure out how to get it from the TIVO box onto one of the computers. That would be awesome!

I have to go get Alex from school now, but I just had to share the exciting news!!
