Nice.
I recently got me a french oven from Costco and have been making all sorts of meat dishes. Throw together some stew beef, onions, carrots, and a couple of garlic heads. Bake for 2 hours and let it stand around and cool for another hour. Very tender and delicious. You can add a splash of wine for taste too.
