Beef Stew
Sure, you can buy your stew in a can;
along with other ingredients that one can't pronounce. But when you cook and render
your stew during the afternoon, your home fills with the inviting mouth-watering aroma of
a dinner to be savored.
I thank Joann Gardner from Cape Breton
Farm in Nova Scotia for this recipe. Enjoy!
