You Win Some, You Lose Some

An historic college basketball game tonight as the 90 game winning streak by Connecticut - best all time since John Wooden's UCLA men's team in the 70's - was eclipsed by the Stanford women. Great ball game. I am an avid fan of girl's basketball because all 3 of my girls have played basketball.

It happens with food, too. You might have made, say, a great beef Bourguignonne - which means beef " as prepared in Burgundy," which is braised w/ onions and mushrooms in red wine, Burgundy, I suppose, which equates with our California Pinot Noir( same grape).

You make it the best 90 times and the next time you screw up and lose and then you might make it great many times thereafter. It will probably make you better after you lose because you don't want to lose again.

I bought a beef chuck roast today and intend to prepare it in the beef Bourguignonne manner tomorrow - a simple adaptation - and will report on the results tomorrow after it is done.
