stewed

• today I cooked up a big pot of stew meat with a sauce made with
• chicken broth( I was out of beef) and tomato soup( and equal water )
• plus our
• favorite spices
• then I made a small stew for supper and enough leftover
• for tomorrow's dinner and
• I froze the rest of the stew and sauce=
• this way we can make up different stews as we feel like
• this will take care of many meals for the kid and I
• I find this works better than making the whole stew
• and freezing and seems to keep fresher-
• I have done this with chicken also and then have
• been able to make quick chicken dinners but all different
• I cannot tell any difference using the chicken broth
• in place of beef broth
• I did toss in a teaspoon of instant coffee to darken the color
• it was an adventure and turned out well
• I hope that I am helping Miss Ashley learn some things
• for her future-
• I know that I can handle a recession as I know how to live
• in a recession- the young folk don't understand that you can
• change your life style and still enjoy life----and sometimes
• a little work beyond a can-opener is fun and a good thing
