Stew ... Ewww

The first meal I made for my husband was chicken curry crepes. The first meal he made me was a pot with cubed beef and cubed potatoes in it (ummm.. yes...that was all that was in the pot). I am so far from a meat and potatoes girl it isn't funny. What is funny is that we are married... Mr. Meat and Potatoes and Me. Well, my darling husband has a woman after his own heart. My husband is working from home these days and I encouraged him to start dinner for me in the crock pot. Last week went well. I made the grocery list and laid out the recipes for him. This week he took the pot into his own hands so to speak. And guess what? We got meat and potatoes again! Well, it was dressed up far more than the original. This was a recipe for beef stew, but it still had the same results with me. EWWWWWW.
Ariana on the other hand is eating bowl after bowl. Ian is sure he is going to have 3 more pounds on her before his stint as at home working dad is over. Go dad! And, more power to Ariana for rescuing me from the fate of stew.

So a couple of comments here. First her first meal was chicken crepes. Then the second meal rolled around and hum chicken crepes...then chocolate crepes..then chicken crepes again...you get the idea.
Second, the stew was really, really good. It was called Texas Stew and it was pure beef goodness. Ana and I munched on it.

I am afraid I would have to side with you both. I love crepes and I love a good old bowl of Texas stew too!Ava said she would have to follow Ana lead. She too is a carnivour! Maybe it is a Russian thing?

I'm glad I finally got a second to catch up on your blog. I've been thinking of you all lately. We may be coming your way again soon (mid-March). Sounds like things are settling into a somewhat normal family life (I hope).
