With Halloween only days away at the end of October and the first three weeks in November is local deer hunting, winter (21st or 22nd of December) is fast approaching.
There was frost on the cars and roofs of the buildings this morning, not many boats in the marina either.
It is still dark at 07:00 hrs and it was minus five (5) Celsius.
Tonight it will be minus seven (7) Celsius.
We seldom eat a stew during the summer but after the first Autumn/Fall Frost out comes the old girls stew pot or slow cooker.
She has it in the slow cooker where it will remain overnight.
Just like a helicopter, a million parts all flying in unison looking for a place to have an accident, her stews are chuck full of just about every vegetable one can think of just waiting to be eaten.
This one has:
-cubed beef
-onions
-turnip
-parsnips
-carrots
-potatoes
-celery
-bay leaf, rosemary, garlic, sea salt, black peppercorns
-beef stock
Tomorrow we will taste our first Autumn Stew with a French Stick and cold salted butter...
....!
Puts me in the mood for lamb stew.
