This weekend I very intentionally flipped through several of my recipe books to find a new recipe to make. After a couple books, I found things that I would want to make some day but not right now. While I don’t have a million cookbooks, I certainly have enough that it would be great to…
The name of this recipe might lead you to believe there is Guinness in it. And boy is there ever. Normally when a recipe calls for liquor or beer, it’s just a part of the ingredient list. But there is more beer in this stew than there is beef stock! There is a whole lot…
Oh wow. Things that will NEVER disappoint you? Slow braising meat. I remember when I made this short rib dish for Valentine’s Day last year, I was really pleased… and I feel the same for this gem. It’s seriously heavenly – especially on a frigid winter day. I was feeling a bit under the weather…
I didn’t really do an excessive amount of things today – but I did get a few things off my to-do list. Reorganizing some of my pictures. Watched a Hallmark movie (or two). Ate leftover pizza … and took a walk through the Hoyt-Hall trails in Marshfield. I rarely find a trail that I am…
I get a lot of magazines. Like more than a dozen. And perhaps more than that. I really like getting mail. But sometimes I just can’t keep up with all the mail and it piles up big time. Normally, I will just grab an issue or two for the commute but thanks to a terrible…
Sometimes I make better decisions than others. But, if the most questionable decision I made this weekend was attempting beef bourginon at 8 pm on a Sunday … then my decisions were a million times more responsible than the passed out drunks on the street this weekend. Holidays like St. Patrick’s Day were never really…
So, when I decided to make Irish Stew I honestly wondered what was different about this as compared to my previous beef stew. But I didn’t really think too much about it. I had beef stew to make and a long walk to take by the harbor. Must get to work. I’m of Irish heritage…
It’s 10:30 PM on a Sunday and I’m tired. I’m tired but the amazing beef stew that I made today is too hot to jam into tupperware. I know this because I already melted one of my containers just a minute ago. Lesson learned. I’m working on my patience.
