Consumer confidence well below consensus.Consumer Confidence – LevelPrior: 49.3Consensus: 50.0Consensus Range: 47.0 to 54.0Actual: 46.6I personally think this has a lot to do with the ‘real’ economy and not the economy that is being reported by the MSM. I’m sure if they interviewed only employees from any of the bailed out Wall Street firms, their consumer confidence would be significantly higher.
Mary, I simply love a good Boeuf Bourguignon but have never prepared Julia's. I have prepared Ina Garten's recipe and really do like it. I'll have to give Julia's a try to see which I like better and I liked the changes you made. I will put that in my notes.I think this Boeuf Bourguignon recipe will be on my menu very soon.Carolyn/A Southerners Notebook
