These goldenrod eggs are a generational French family tradition for Easter morning. I have searched the entire internet for a recipe and I've never heard of anyone having it but our family. Everyone likes it so much that we have it more often than just Easter.

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and stir, constantly, until the mixture becomes paste-like, about 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk, and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.

Braised Short Ribs
These sherry braised short ribs are pretty much foolproof. As long as two things happen when you make this recipe, you are in for some very fine eats. First, the beef must be well browned— I'm talking deep, dark, crusty, and caramelized. The other key step is easier. Just braise them until they're fork-tender. To paraphrase an expression, "stick a fork in them, they're done." After browning properly, the only way to mess these up is to undercook them, so don't.
