Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat your oven to 300 degrees. Place a large heavy bottomed pot on the stove top (like a Le Creuset pot). Over medium heat cook 4 strips of Bacon in the large heavy bottomed pot until crisp. Remove from the heat and allow to drain on paper towels. Later you will crumble the Bacon into the finished Sauce. Reserve the Bacon Fat in the pot. Dry off any moisture on your Beef Short Ribs using paper towel. The meat will brown better and caramelize instead of steam if it is dry. This browning will produce a lot of flavor in the finished dish. Cut the Short Ribs into 3-4 inch sections. Trim some of the excess outer fat, leaving some for flavor. Season the Short Ribs with Sea Salt and Black Pepper. Over medium high add 3 T of Olive Oil to the Bacon Fat and brown all sides of the Short Ribs until they get a good dark brown sear. Give the Short Ribs room between each other so they do not steam and brown properly. You will have to do this in 2 to 3 batches to brown all the Short Ribs well. You will not be cooking through all the way, just browning at this stage. The Short Ribs will be raw in the middle. Place the first batch after browning in a bowl to catch any drippings. After all the Short Ribs are browned well, remove them from the pot and set aside in the large bowl to collect any drippings as they sit. Next remove the used Bacon Fat and Olive Oil from the pot leaving any of the cooked on bits stuck to the bottom of the pot. Reduce the heat to medium and add 3 T of fresh Olive Oil and saute the sliced Mushrooms until browned and crisp. 7-10 minutes. Then over medium heat add the diced Onions and Carrot and saute until soft, 5-7 minutes. Add the minced Garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Deglaze the pot by adding 2 cups of Cabernet Sauvignon. As soon as you add the Wine increase the heat to high and stir rapidly, scraping the bottom of the pot releasing the cooked on brown bits stuck to the bottom. Bring to the boil then add 2 cups of Beef Stock and the Tomato Paste, Beef Base, Thyme, Bay Leaves, Sea Salt and Black Pepper. Allow to boil, stirring continuously for 3 minutes. Add the Beef Short Ribs and any juices that collected in the bowl to the boiling pot. Put them in snugly against each other and boil for 2 minutes. Then place the lid on the pot and place in the center of the oven and cook for 3 hours at 300 degrees undisturbed. Don't peek and release the moist heat that will make these Short Ribs fall of the bone. After 3 hours remove from the oven and take off the lid. Prepare for a steam facial! Remove the Cooked Beef Short Ribs to a large bowl. Be gentle, it will be falling off the bone. Allow the Sauce to sit for 3 minutes so the fat rises to the top. Skim off the fat using a large spoon and discard it. Remove as much as you can. Remove the Bay Leaves and stems from the Thyme if you used fresh Thyme. Remember, the pot is HOT, it just came from the oven!!! Use pot holders and place the pot of defatted Sauce over medium high heat and bring to a boil, stirring frequently, and reduce by a third. This will concentrate the Sauce into a rich incredible Sauce. Taste the Sauce and add Sea Salt and or Black Pepper is needed at this point. Crumble the Bacon and add to the Sauce stirring in well. Add the Beef Short Ribs back to the pot of reduced Sauce and remove from the heat. Coat the Short Ribs in the Sauce well. Serve Immediately over Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes or Polenta.

Food Joke

Calling in Sick... A Cat Owner's Story Calling in sick to work makes me uncomfortable because no matter how legitimate my illness, I always sense my boss thinks I am lying. On one occasion, I had a valid reason but lied anyway because the truth was too humiliating to reveal. I simply mentioned that I had sustained a head injury and I hoped I would feel up to coming in the next day. By then, I could think up a doozy to explain the bandage on my crown. In this case, the truth hurt. I mean it really hurt in the place men feel the most pain. The accident occurred mainly because I conceded to my wife's wishes to adopt a cute little kitty. As the daily routine prescribes, I was taking my shower after breakfast when I heard my wife call out to me from the kitchen. "Ed!" she hearkened. "The garbage disposal is dead. Come reset it." "You know where the button is." I protested through the shower . "Reset it yourself!" "I am scared!" She pleaded. "What if it starts going and sucks me in?" Pause. "C'mon, it'll only take a second." No logical assurance about how a disposal can't start itself will calm the fears of a person who suffers from "Big-ol-scary-machinephobia," a condition brought on by watching too many Stephen King movies. It is futile to argue or explain, kind of like Lloyd Bentsen telling Americans they are over-taxed. And if a poltergeist did, in fact, possess the disposal, and she was ground into round, I'd have to live with that the rest of my life. So out I came, dripping wet and buck naked, hoping to make a statement about how her cowardly behavior was not without consequence but it was I who would suffer. I crouched down and stuck my head under the sink to find the button. It is the last action I remember performing. It struck without warning. Nay, it wasn't a hexed disposal drawing me into its gnashing metal teeth. It was our new kitty, clawing playfully at the dangling objects she spied between my legs. She ("Buttons" aka "the Grater") had been poised around the corner and stalked me as I took the bait under the sink. At precisely the second I was most vulnerable, she leapt at the toys I unwittingly offered and snagged them with her needle-like claws. Now when men feel pain or even sense danger anywhere close to their masculine region, they lose all rational thought to control orderly bodily movements. Instinctively, their nerves compel the body to contort inwardly, while rising upwardly at a violent rate of speed. Not even a well-trained monk could calmly stand with his groin supporting the full weight of a kitten and rectify the situation in a step-by-step procedure. Wild animals are sometimes faced with a "fight or flight" syndrome; men, in this predicament, choose only the "flight" option. Fleeing straight up, I knew at that moment how a cat feels when it is alarmed. It was a dismal irony. But, whereas cats seek great heights to escape, I never made it that far. The sink and cabinet bluntly impeded my ascent; the impact knocked me out cold. When I awoke, my wife and the paramedics stood over me. Having been fully briefed by my wife, the paramedics snorted as they tried to conduct their work while suppressing their hysterical laughter. My wife told me I should be flattered. At the office, colleagues tried to coax an explanation out of me. I kept silent, claiming it was too painful to talk. "What's the matter, cat got your tongue?" If they had only known.
