Oh my lord, I am so hungry right now. I want to try this recipe - my current method of doing a beef stew is pretty half-assed, and this looks like it would provide tastier results.

Yes, but it TAKES FOREVER. Perhaps that's just a symptom of the modern age, but usually the most I'll spend cooking something is an hour to an hour and a half. Four hours plus is just too much for me on a regular basis, given that I work long days and often get home around 8 pm.

I'd save it for a Saturday or most likely a Sunday, where I have the time and usually the inclination to potter around in the kitchen. It sounds like it would provide lots of tasty leftovers, too.

Oh, it absolutely does. : )

Real or fake LeCreuset enamelware goes stove-to-oven. I'm pretty sure "regulate the heat" just means look at it and turn the heat up or down if it isn't simmering.

Huh. Good to know! Yeah, I figured that was what "regulate the heat" meant, but the phrasing was... odd.

My favorite WTF? cooking term is "3 cups of onions, divided" when it means "chop all the onions, and use some of them in the stock and some of them in the stew" or whatever.

Yeah, like they couldn't add "in half" after "divided" or they would've gone over their word count? *grin*
