1/2 off bar menu, martinis and wine.

Trying to decide what to have before I get there....Beef Tenderloin Sliders or Prime Beef Carpaccio.

Believe it or not, I get seasick. It's a sick joke, I know.

So, maybe a small sandwich or some soup out of a box, but not much else.

How about you?

2 tablespoons butter (or lard or margarine)
2 small or one large onion, chopped.
3 tablespoons sweet Hungarian paprika (Hungarian really makes a difference here)
2 cloves finely chopped garlic
1-2 lbs stew or kabob meat
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground pepper
2-4 cups beef or chicken stock (water can be substituted-total volume ~4 cups)
3 small or 2 medium boiling potatoes, cubed (1 to 1 ½ inch)
1 lb tomatoes, peeled, seeded, diced (or one 28 oz can diced tomatoes—15 oz would probably do in a pinch)
2 medium sized green peppers, deseeded, deribbed and chopped
1 teaspoon marjoram

Heat the butter in a 5 qt heavy Dutch oven or saucepan, add onions and garlic. Cook until lightly colored. Add paprika and coat the onions. Add beef and brown it, then caraway seeds. Add stock, salt and pepper.

Bring to a boil and partially cover the pan and simmer gently for 45 min hour. Add tomatoes, peppers, potatoes and marjoram, and cook over medium heat partially for another hour until potatoes are done. Remove the lid for the last 30 min to let the sauce thicken.

Spent the last two days packing up my office and unpacking in a new one. Back and legs are sore so s simple grilled cheese sandwich made with Havarti is all I want. Too tire to do much more.

cream.

Had plenty of spinach from the garden and spinach goes well with bacon so there you have it.
Also having salad featuring baby greens from the yard.
