I like making beef stew. It makes the kitchen feel very homely, with the big pot on the stove, slowly bubbling, and the scent of onions and garlic, oregano and wine (I use wine, and also Guinness if we’ve got some). Plus it’s hard to screw up. The worst that can happen is you end up with beef soup instead, and how bad can that be, right?

(Parenthetical to Braden: hey, you remember that time we tried to make beef stew and got soup instead? And it was okay, but there was waaaay too much, and it sat in the fridge for too many days and became completely disgusting?)

(Okay, I guess you CAN screw it up pretty bad if you’re not paying attention.)

Sorry, what was I talking about? Oh yeah! I just got the issue two cover from Braden, so we’ll be posting it on Friday! Then just one week ’til chapter two begins in earnest! I’m liking how chapter two is coming out, a little peppier than chapter one. I think you’ll like it. (Yes, I know this has nothing to do with beef stew. I just like sharing with you guys sometimes.)
