Put A Ring On It

Tomorrow the World Phucking Champion Phillies will be getting their World Series rings before their 3 o'clock game against the Braves. Tickets are sold out and have been for a while, but if you are headed down, here are some tips and a recipe to help make sure your tailgate rocks!



Rings from the 1980 Championship season

Tips:
  • Game temperature is going to be about 50 degrees. There is no rain in the forecast, but dress warm. The sun should be out for the majority of the game to which will help.
  • Get their early! There was a lot of problems with the parking on Sunday and you do not want to miss the pre game action.
  • Plan for traffic. There will be standing room only tickets released the day of the game which means there will be more traffic than normal in the area.

Beef and Red Wine Stew

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds stew beef
3/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 to 2 medium carrots, sliced
2 ribs celery, sliced
1 medium onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups beef broth
1 cup dry red wine, such as Pinot Noir or Cabernet Sauvignon
1/2 teaspoon fresh chopped rosemary, or a dash of crumbled dried rosemary
1 jar (15 ounces) small onions, or 10 to 16 ounces frozen small onions, thawed

Preparation:
Trim stew beef and cut in small bite-size pieces. Put in a food storage bag with the flour, onion powder, and seasoned salt; toss to coat well.
Heat oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven; add beef to hot oil and cook, stirring, until lightly browned. Add the onion and celery; continue cooking, stirring, for about 3 minutes. Add carrots, garlic, broth, wine, and rosemary; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Add drained or thawed onions. Continue cooking for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until beef is tender. Serve with biscuits or hot cooked noodles. Serves 6.
