Oxtail Stew!! While oxtail used to cost $2.99 a pound, it's now $8.99. But hey! I'll take oxtail over steak any time.

Broiled to render fat, then added to the crock pot with cubed turnip and potatoes, sliced carrot, thinly-sliced yellow onion, some thyme, salt, and pepper. Pouring over this mountain is a blend of homemade beef broth and ketchup. Finally, the last hour: a slurry of flour and red wine.

And carbs be damned! I served it over wide egg noodles and accompanied it with a quaff of more red wine.

If I were I a cat, I'd be purring right about now.

And yes, clean-up is 85% done.
