- Season the short ribs with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over high heat. Sear ribs, in batches, on all sides until well browned. Remove ribs and set aside.
- Add a couple of cups of wine into the Dutch oven to deglaze pan, scraping all the brown bits that my have stuck to the pan. Pour out and reserve.
- Preheat oven to 350°F Wipe out pan and add 5 tablespoons oil and the onions, leeks, carrots, turnips, celery root, celery, and garlic. Brown over medium heat, then add tomato paste and cook 5 minutes more. Add the herbs and return the short ribs. Also add the deglazing liquid, the rest of the wine, the port, peppercorns, and 1 tablespoon salt. Add enough water to cover contents by at least 1 inch.
- Cover pot with aluminum foil and place in oven for 4 to 5 hours, until the meat easily separates from the bone. Remove meat and cover tightly with the foil. Over high heat, reduce the braising liquid by about 80%, it will be dark and syrupy. Strain.

<p>We may live without poetry, music and art;</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We may live without conscience and live without heart;</p>
<p>We may live without friends; we may live without books,</p>
<p>But civilized man cannot live without cooks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He may live without books -- what is knowledge but grieving?</p>
<p>He may live without hope-- what is hope but deceiving?</p>
<p>He may live without love -- what is passion but pining?</p>
<p>But where is the man that can live without dining?</p>

I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years. One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s. Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s. So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic. Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!</p>
