Dear rfc:ers,
 I'm writing this on behalf of the wife. She has thought deeply and come to the conclusion that I should use my participation in this group for something good, and therefore asked me to ask you for a dinner recommendation for the current weather conditions.
 It is about 3 degrees C, windy, dark, and occasionally some light rain.
 What easy and cozy dish would you choose to light up such an autumn evening?

 Beef barley soup.

 Ingredients
2 (907 grams) pounds beef chuck - cubed
3 (41 grams) tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion - diced
2 ribs celery - diced
4 medium carrots - diced
3 cloves garlic minced
¾ (175 grams) cup dry red wine
6 (1440 grams) cups low-sodium beef broth
1 (17 grams) tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3 sprigs thyme
1 (180 grams) cup pearl barley
salt and pepper - to taste
¼ cup parsley - minced
 Deceptively simple but it's the barley that adds a special nuttiness to it.
 Kiddo has a bland pallet.
 Easily a 9!

It has been decided! The wife liked the recipe, so tomorrow we'll have beef barley soup. Hooray! And the wife says "thank you very much".

It has been done! Delicious, nutritious and perfect for a cold and rainy day!
