Tuesday Night: Baked Fennel

To go along with the leftover pork and cauliflower from Monday, I baked a fennel bulb (with beef stock and cheese) following a recipe in Bittman. I had made this before (pre-food blog), and we really liked it. This time the recipe just didn't work at all. I don't know if the fennel wasn't great or if I overcooked it or what, but the stock didn't get absorbed and we just had a soupy mess in the gratin dish.

It didn't taste bad, but it wasn't what either Andrea or I had been looking forward to.
