“You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.”
Yogi Berra

"Believe it or not, American’s eat 75 acres of pizza a day."
Boyd Matson

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

the thyme, stock and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 1 1/2 hours or until meat is tender.

Peel the pearl onions and trim off a little bit of the root end. Melt
butter in a small skillet and add pearl onions. Toss to coat and pour
in 1/4 cup of water and cover. Simmer until tender. Uncover and allow
liquid to evaporate. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon sugar and shake pan over
medium heat until onions begin to brown and caramelize. Season with
salt & pepper.

In another skillet melt 3 tablespoons butter and cook mushrooms until
golden brown. Stir in crispy bacon bits and season with salt & pepper.

When the beef is tender, remove meat with a slotted spoon to a bowl.
Simmer sauce until thickened and stir in flour/butter mixture to help
thicken. Season sauce to taste. Return beef to pot and bring stew to
a boil. Serve hot with boiled potatoes, pearl onions, mushrooms and
garnish with chopped parsley.
