Well its cold as Hell in ND again today. The wife had to work so I took her out to the plant and came home to make stew. I have lots of deer meat since I just poped a hugh doe with the muzzle loader. 105 lbs of boned out meat. I took a beef neck bone and simmered it with some deer stew meat while I cut up my veggies.. I added a quart of our tomatoes that we canned and about half a large head of cabbage. Then carrots ,spuds, turnips rhudabages. celery. onions , garlic, corn and peas. I usually add some tomato or V8 juice if I need more juice. My wife loves stew and I will have supper and sdeveral days of her lunch done by supper time. Oh and I washed all the dishes and cleaned up my cooking mess.
