I think I'm weird. Why is it that so often I am much more productive when I've gotten barely any sleep? Maybe I'm running on adrenaline. Seriously. Most folks can barely function with just a few hours of sleep. I, on the other hand, am slow-moving, groggy and fatigued-feeling when I've gotten a long night's sleep. However, it never fails that when I've only slept for three or four hours, I'm running around the house in the morning like a crazy person ... all hyped up and full of energy.
It happened today. I was up until almost three in the morning working on the blog and cleaning around the house. I swore I'd go back to bed once the kids got on the bus for school at seven this morning. Nope. Instead, I stayed up doing laundry, making homemade egg noodles, watching t.v. and editing blog photos. I'm sure I'll pay for it later. Sigh.
But, this recipe is certainly worth spending a little time on. It's nothing overly complicated, but the result is a total COMFORT FOOD dinner that your family will greatly appreciate. You'll, basically, be braising beef until ultra tender on the stove top in a rich broth, making my two-ingredient egg noodles while the meat cooks and then bringing the two components together to simmer to perfection.
NOTE: You'll need to go HERE for my post on making your own egg noodles from scratch.
Serves 4 - 6.
