Spending the night with Stu.
I'm having Stu tonight, Stu can be so hot, I love Stu, so yummy tasting... oops stupid spell check, I mean stew as in homemade chicken stew. It has been simmering all day and I was having day dreams about some homemade stew all week. Some of the vegetables are from my garden so I was looking forward to the fresh taste.
However (fffuck) I had to buy carrots and I didn't notice that they picked up a musty smell and taste from wherever they had been stored before reaching the supermarket. The cooking brought out the awful flavor and there is nothing I can do to save it. It tastes like the smell of an old damp basement. There is nothing more satisfying than having a good project ruined.
Well at least it looks good... :(
These are my purple potatoes and my regular potatoes. I like the purple ones slightly better, they have more flavor however I don't know what will happen now.
bitchin'! :(
ReplyDeleteI adore Stew in all his guises.
ReplyDeleteHuh, I got all excited for you until you mentioned it was the food kind of stew! Ick, but that's just me. I have never heard of purple potatoes. They look interesting. I figure, if everything else goes wrong in a meal you can always do something with potatoes.
ReplyDeleteIs it me, or does the set of top potatoes look like they are mooning us?
ReplyDeleteI don't like meat but I'm crazy for meat stews, I never met one I didn't like. Last week for guests I made carbonnade flammande (Belgian beef stew) for the first time in 30 years. I forgot how much I liked it and it brought back pleasant memories. Comfort food.
ReplyDeleteDarn! That’s the worst. And they it looks awesome and it tastes terrible? Ugh.
ReplyDeleteI have to confess I don’t really know how to cook but I may try making a stew.... I think there’s a crockpot somewhere in the kitchen. If I poison some poor bystander, it’ll be your fault.

Well, isn't that a sonovabitch. I'd be pissed off. Complain to the supermarket about how their carrots ruined the entire stew -- maybe they'll give you a gift card or something to make up for it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a disappointment. I'd be pissed as hell.
ReplyDeleteUgh...all that work too. If that had happened to me I would not have been a happy camper.
