ProPoints 17th times a charm!!!

Lovely day. I'm thinking I'll have stew tomorrow too. Must be the miserable weather :rolleyes:

Ya-stuck it on menu last Friday (menu done for week). Cos I knew I was on, it was something different and I make it healthy. But coming in today, I was delighted. It was perfect for rotten day outside.
Two of my service users looked for seconds aswel so well happy. :D

No. Never had dumplings growing up. Not a huge Irish thing really. But my stew is my mammys recipe-just onions, carrots, turnips if they're there, meat, potatoes, beef stock cube and water, salt and pepper. Done. :D
Because it's so simple I used to find it great when my tummy is sore-cos nothing artificial. :D x

Ya I do keep meaning to mix it up by doing something like that but always just end up sticking to same old same old.
Maybe when I make it at home next. But my freezer is jam packed full of food I really need to use up. Only buying fruit and salad stuff this month. Gona get thru Some of meals I already have! :D
Then I can start all over and fill it up again. :D x

It's really interesting the differences between here and there, I could never imagine having stew without dumplings!!! I've allocated 8pp tonight for dumplings lol x

In theory yes I will save money. But my garden needs to be completely gutted and fences put up etc which is gona cost alot! So every penny is goin in there. But ya-its great that even saving money on food will help my garden fund. That's why I fill the freezer I guess-to use it when I'm stuck. :D
 
Girls girls girls.... Where's the oxtail soup in the stew???? U hav to hav oxtail soup.....

Hehe.... ya one of the girls at work makes hers with oxtail soup and I must say its yum. :D But it ends up being a completely different kind of stew. Mine is super light.
But I must say that it's one of the great things about work-you get to sample other dishes that people love and are their specialities. (Our service users can't cook-some houses they do).

Its funny that way-you just walk in and say oh lasagna on menu-Charlottes cooking then, curry is Michael etc.
 
I'm just in the process of cooking my stew :) x
 
Yum. What you put in yours then? x

I've got Red Onion, Green Beans, Carrots, Swede, Pearl Barley & Vegetable Stock! And of course Herby Dumplings :) x
 
Stew has to be my favourite dinner EVER!!! I love love love love it.. But Jonathan doesn't so I never get to make it :(
Had it at my friends the other day and it was such a treat that I had TWO bowls... Good job we went for a walk after.. lol
She made it with just stock and it was nice n light.. But she put mushrooms in???? That I do not recommend!!!

My aunt makes THE nicest stew IN THE WORLD... Dunno what she does but I can never get it the way she does... She's told me all she adds but I can't get it right...

Ya I don't like the idea of mushrooms in a stew. :(

Serena-yours sounds really good. Yum. :D

Ya its funny that's its a dish that's so so different with everyone making it. My mam makes a gorgeous lamb Stew aswel. Not as often anymore-since price of lamb went thru roof few years ago but she knows I love it so she makes it for me for special occasions. And that's even lighter again-but lamb is way fattier than beef so I loose out there on points but I have it so rarely that I don't care. :D x

Yea they weren't nice at all.. I was looking thinking "WHY is there mushrooms in here!" But kinda had to force them so as not to be rude.. So I cut as small as I cud, and swallowed them.. without chewing.. lol
 
I always put mushrooms in stews. I put mushrooms in everything. I put celery in stew too.
