    Pot Roast to die for

    I haven't tried Bistro. I generally use an American product called "Better than Boullion" . It claims to be made with real beef. Most of the others seem to be mostly monosodium glutemate. Better than boullion is quite expensive....about 8 or 9 dollars for a smal jar.

    Pot Roast to die for

    What you've done with the foil is basically the same as what I've done with the small, covered roasting pan. Adding the beef stock and wine produces a great gravy.

    The key words are common sense

    Video: Obama calls gun control reforms 'common sense measures' - The Globe and Mail Obama has made public his plans to try to improve gun safety and I don't see what the NRA donkeys have to complain about. One would think that even these turkeys could see that something had to be done.
