My thoughts:
Growing upward my grandpop ever made beef stew. The ingredients ever varied because I intend he was trying to purpose upward odds in addition to ends in addition to but it was ever tasty! He was his hardest critic though because every fourth dimension he made it he'd nation it was ameliorate unopen to fourth dimension earlier in addition to and thence tweak it again. I'm variety of the same way, I guess. Stews I've made inward the by accept ever been quite tasty thence I'm non trying to improve on them equally much equally I similar to brand something novel each time. I similar multifariousness in addition to honestly, developing in addition to posting recipes for (over 1,450 to date) tin hold upward a daunting in addition to somewhat grueling task. If I kept making the same affair over in addition to over again, I'd never accept anything post!

For this beef stew I took a page from Grandpop in addition to used what nosotros had inward the household for the well-nigh part. I had rosemary in addition to thyme leftover from other recipes, I ever accept potatoes, carrots, garlic in addition to celery in addition to I had an enormous box of mushrooms I bought at Costco that had to hold upward used. So I added lots of mushrooms in addition to exclusively had to alternative upward the beef to circular it out. I was careful to cutting everything roughly the same size equally the beef thence it cooked evenly. I was a petty worried the rosemary mightiness overwhelm equally it is wont to create but it mellowed during cooking in addition to gave a pleasant herbal greenback to the hearty, rich stew.
