One of the things I can cook is stew, and that's what I made for dinner tonight. I promise it actually was more appetizing than it looks in a black and white picture. I experimented with potato sizing on this batch and ended up with a thick potato sludge, which means that I cut them too small. I'm still trying to hunt down a happy medium.<br /><br />However, I hate stew in the very end stages, when it's boiling through all that thickness. At that point, it turns into a mudpot of the sort they have in Yellowstone or Lassen. The nasty thing about it is that it spits boiling hot stew goop onto the unfortunate hand stirring the pot. I have to wear an oven mitt to stir. It's crazy.<br /><br />But it was good. We have leftovers!<br /><br />Prior posts in this series:<br /><br /><ul><br /> <li><a href="http://retstak.org/2017/12/08/black-white-1-my-buddy/">B&W 1: My buddy</a>.</li><br /></ul><br /><br />(Note to LJ and Dreamwidth users: The crossposter I'm using does not allow featured images to come through.
