That's a great site. You definitely want to cook it high at first to sear it. Add the liquids AFTER you lower the temperature (I just put water, but a little wine sounds good). Add a bit more every so often during the baking. The searing is what makes the juices, so not adding the liquid until after it's browned is important.

It sounds like you made a delicious meal. Your parents must have loved it. How's Mom feeling??
