stew

Yesterday was beef stew. Just like the soups, it was passable but not great. I think the problem is that when I make stew or soup, I tend to clean out the refrigerator. All of those little darlings that have been waiting on the shelves, so patiently for so long, get a chance to strut their stuff. The remains of the relish jar, beard and all, made it into the bean soup, those poor innocent beans, but I don't think it was the relish, maybe it was the Hershey bar. I have to remember K.I.S.S.. The corn bread was good. I feel guilty because I used canned beef broth for the stew instead of making it. I can't get meaty beef bones out here. I don't understand why as there are a lot of French people out here. Another disadvantage of living away from the poor part of a city. You should see what they do to a poor fish out here. Two things are in the near future, the new recipe for macaroni and cheese and the garlic shrimp recipe. There will be a problem with the seafood. I got spoiled by living close to New Bedford. I haven't seen a monkfish tail anywhere around here. I wonder who is raising the boneless cows.
