Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Added 1/2 a bottle of Pinot Grigio (you can use red if you like....I like the acidity of the pg). Will reduce that by 1/2.
After that reduced I added a tablespoon of double concentrated tomato paste and 1 1/2 cups good chicken bone broth.
I’m letting that reduce for about 5-7 minutes over medium fire.

Added about 2 cups of the Mutti tomato purée and a can of Muir Glen organic fire roasted tomatoes.
Cooked that down for about 5 minutes and then added the shanks. Bring it up to a simmer, cover, and put in a 450 degree oven for 1.5 hours. I’ll be back then. Gummy’s are starting to kick.

For sure. Beef shanks, veal shanks, short rib, chuck roast. All good.
Agree. I typically do a Greek or Northern Africa style lamb shank. Today it’s more of a Tuscan style.
You got it, pal. Naperville or Rt. 59 station?
Whatever is easier for you. I’ll bring the Sencha.
Brewed a big batch this AM. Plenty of sencha iced tea this weekend. Helps with Dry January. So does this:
