Great suggestion about going to Aldi first and about the soap, etc. Thanks! I need to see if they have the wine you suggested - I’m in NC.

Since I discovered Winking Owl, I've started keeping a couple of bottles around the house. At that price I can afford to and it has enhanced my cooking quite a bit.

Make a pound of hamburger into four patties. Sear them in a frying pan but don't worry about cooking them through, that comes later. Remove the patties, reduce heat and sweat some onions until they start to caramelize. Add a cup of wine (red or white) a cup of beef broth, crushed garlic and whatever herbs you think prudent. I'd use basil and oregano, but mostly because I'll have fresh just outside my door. Cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes. Remove the patties. Boil until the liquid is reduced to one cup. Thicken with two tablespoons of cornstarch mixed with a quarter cup of water. Serve it either with mashed potatoes the way Mrs Mag likes it or on whole wheat toast in my preferred manner.
