I find our eating habits as a small family to have changed radically since the older kids left for college. We have many simple, plain meals -- tasty -- but from leftovers and tidbits of meat and veggies. It works well. I like that mantra -- do not serve anyone a whole anything. Good advice on those days!<br /><br />As for the stew meat -- my beef stew recipe calls for me to flour the meat before browning, and to use water as well. And I love that recipe! I've made other recipes that do it differently. I'll have to compare, but I rarely make it these days!M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512869338404805014.post-52022425254984780452014-02-16T05:40:50.452-08:002014-02-16T05:40:50.452-08:00I have this book in my TBR stack.

I've never cooked with lamb before but would be willing to give it a shot.

Reading RFC's book opened my eyes to an understanding of grace through his discussion of wine, of all things!BajaMannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08874805186467347954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512869338404805014.post-54446359200814049112014-02-13T12:24:01.793-08:002014-02-13T12:24:01.793-08:00You know what you make me miss?

Ihavent had lunch yet so this just sounds wonderful. I can't wait to read more. I do know nothing smells better cooking than a leg of lamb.Farm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998621464797636686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512869338404805014.post-91941938645525394332014-02-13T06:53:32.743-08:002014-02-13T06:53:32.743-08:00Wow, what a trip to read the way he talks about fo...Wow, what a trip to read the way he talks about food -- it seems he truly feels he has a relationship with this food he is cooking. I only learned not to flour meat recently, myself; but I was always too lazy to do it before I learned it was bad. Phew!

I rarely cook with wine, but will have to experiment with this more...does it make the meat more tender or flavorful?Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03411789923271959623noreply@blogger.com
