share it with you. Unfortunately, I do not understand the part about
the "purchase."

Those who might want to make it a little more complex could look up
"Carbonnades a la Flamande" or something close to that. Belgian beef
stew with beer. This link goes to a typical recipe, which is quite
good. There's also a classic version in one of Julia Child's early
books. Delicious stuff, especially when the weather gets a little
cooler. -aem

I make a very good pot roast a lot like this--only I use 1 can tomato
soup, one bottle of beer (fosters is my favorite), and a couple of cans
of whole tomatoes. Throw in garlic and a couple bay leaves--and have
about 3 or 4 big vadalia onions and carrots.

Great stuff!!
