I like to make this for jewish holidays. 1 cup dry red wine 1 cup canned beef or chicken broth 1/2 cup frozen cranberry juice cocktail concentrate, thawed 1/4 cup all purpose flour 1 large onion, sliced 4 garlic cloves, chopped 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary 1 4-pound trimmed flat-cut brisket 12 ounces medium portobello mushrooms, dark gills scraped away, caps thinly sliced 1 cup dried cranberries (about 4 ounces) Preheat oven to 300°F. Whisk wine, broth, cranberry concentrate and flour to blend in medium bowl; pour into 15 x 10 x 2-inch roasting pan. Mix in onion, garlic and rosemary. Sprinkle brisket on all sides with salt and pepper. Place brisket, fat side up, in roasting pan. Spoon some of wine mixture over. Cover pan tightly with heavy-duty foil. Bake brisket until very tender, basting with pan juices every hour, about 3 1/2 hours. Transfer brisket to plate; cool 1 hour at room temperature. Thinly slice brisket across grain. Arrange slices in pan with sauce, overlapping slices slightly. (Brisket can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.) Preheat oven to 350°F. Place mushrooms and cranberries in sauce around brisket. Cover pan with foil. Bake until mushrooms are tender and brisket is heated through, about 30 minutes (40 minutes if brisket has been refrigerated). Transfer sliced brisket and sauce to platter and serve. Serves 8.

#4 is my first choice followed by #2. i think the layout is very classy but fun and modern. #1 has great colors but is wayyy too busy and i don't love the layout.

i want to vote!!! but i can't see #4

Sorry for all the questions. i got about 200-300 pictures ina leather photoalbum...they weren't proofs but printed pics...then he gave me all the high resolution pics to me on a disk so i could print pics on my own (this is huge becuase usually photog charge alot to print copies) and do what i want with them...i made my own slideshow...i had alot of fun working on the projects.

It has chiles, cocoa, and of all things peanut butter in it as I recall. where'd you get that? this guy who was the bar back made it from scratch with some beans and rice and he made strawberry aqua fresca for us and we were in heaven.

does anyone have a good recipe for this...steve was playing a show and they feed us before and the bar servedthis to us and it was ssoooooo good...i tried to find the recipe online but couldnot find one that was good.

one of my concerns is it gets really busy and crowded at those parks.

He also does them for an extra fee....but i wanted a project.

What are you having her do for you so far? sarah, sorry to but in but if you have ideas what you want, you can send her a pic and see what she prices back...EMAIL IS THE BEST way to contact her and keeps a record for you.
