Salivation Stew

Nothing like the smell of a tasty stew to warm up a house on a cool autumn evening.

I really should have taken a picture before showing Mr. K what we were having for dinner... I wasn't aware the man could eat so fast! I promise a photo for next time.

Tonight's fine dining experience was provided for us via the pallet of home-canned goods from my Mother-in-Law. She's a fine lady, bestowing upon us such delights!

We found within the preserves a jar of beef brisket... now, I don't eat beef very often, but this? Home cooked brisket? I can make an exception for such divinity on a plate. I shall consider it an endeavor to strengthen my intestinal fortitude.

One pint Beef Brisket + two pints of potato cubes + 2 carrots from the 'fridge + a teensy bit of pepper* and corn starch = BEEF STEW! I sliced up a loaf of Jimmy John's day old bread (50 cents per loaf!! Avaliable at a Jimmy John's near you.) Mr. K took one look at the tray and says "That's not going to be enough bread". If I had let him, we'd have gone through another loaf!

TLDR: I made beef stew for dinner. Scroll up a bit for the recipe if you're so inclined.

Ta ta for now!

PS: For those of you who are wondering, one pint = two cups. And yes, you can substitute fresh ingredients (just turn your Crock Pot/slow cooker/dutch oven over high heat!)

*Those who know me would most certainly expect a pepper-laden stew. I like Pepper.
