STEW OF EPIC FEASTING (a.k.a. throw a bunch of stuff in a pot and hope for the best).
So, I decided to cook again. Yeah, let that sink in.
Here's the recipe: STEW OF EPIC FEASTING!(aka. throw a bunch of things in a pot) 1 really big pot/dutch oven/crock. I think this thing is a gallon. Maybe two. 6 lbs of stew meat cut up into large cubes (holy shit was that a pain in the ass! But no pain no gain!)
1 package bacon, thick cut.
2 whole (cloves?) garlic ball thingies (broken up and stuff so the yucky part isn't in there)
1 bay leaf Fill the pot halfway with water, throw all that stuff above in there and boil it for 10 mins. Once it's done boiling turn down the heat to a slow roll (med-hi, a little less than Hi) and add this 1 whole thing of celery chopped up into bite size pieces
2 yellow onions chopped up into fairly large chunks (if you weren't sure about nicking your hand cutting the meat you'll find out here)
2 tomatoes, chopped into nice bite sized chunks
1 package (1/2 lb?) of chopped mushrooms
2 handfuls of cracked black pepper
2 handfuls of table salt
1 tiny palm-pile of ground sage
1 tiny palm-pile of ground thyme
1 big palm-pile of rosemary
1 big palm-pile of paprika
For faster eating leave on med-hi heat (bubbling cauldron style) and cover for 3 hours (I think). Otherwise put it on low for 12 (that oughta do it).
It's not done yet so I either made something really yummy or a gallon of garbage. And I think "tiny palm-pile" = ¼ teaspoon and "big palm-pile" = teaspoon. And "handful" = tablespoon.
