The best thing since sliced bread...and other adventures in cooking



Well, Jacks and I have attempted cooking, using limited tools in our kitchen, and random stuff the English have in their grocery stores. We first thought it would be a great idea to make a stew...because it is always rainy and cold....which would be fabulous, if we knew how to do it, what meat to use, have spices, and a crock pot. We improvised....and put a bunch of stuff in a pot, and went with it. the result was....pretty good, especially when you know there is nothing else warm to eat. We will just say, the meat was a bit...chewy. It was called "casserole beef," whatever that means. Here is the picture of it...
It was pretty good, for amateurs. We also bought lovely looking bread from the store....and found out it wasn't sliced when we brought it home. It also happens to be really crusty and doesn't slice well, with our knives here...so, when we make pb and j, it get's interesting. I just thought I would share this because Jacks and I were cracking up at this idea of a "sandwhich" seen below.....we couldn't slice the bread and so, we just used the last hunk of it for her sandwhich...it was a mega peanut butter and jelly, for sure. Also, eaten with leftover stew.....
well, more later....miss everyone!
love you!
