Christmas Eve: Beef Stew

Not being sticklers for tradition (and not having access to an oven in the flat in Avignon), we did "odd" things for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Christmas Eve was a beef stew with plenty of red wine (a Cotes du Rhone), smoked bacon, potato, celery root, onion, garlic, bay leaf.

We had a big salad and baguette with that and were not unhappy.
