stewing
my second attempt at beef stew went better than the first. nothing exciting, though. at least this time the power didn't go out, leaving me with crunchy soup.
i'm hoping the third time's a charm. anyone have a good slow cooker recipe for beef stew? sarah f, i'm sure you have tons of 'em.

Well, perhaps your power didn't go out last night, but ours did. Something about you making beef stew causes a disruption in the nation's power supply.
My mom makes great beef stew. She uses a packet of onion soup mix and a packet of gravy seasoning...I think a lot of recipes only call for one or the other.
Mmmmmm...beef stew.
Is there irony in that I never used to eat beef stew because I didn't like the vegetables?
meegs - i always suspected i had superpowers. i just assumed they'd be less useless.
sarah - i am filing that under irony, definition of.
