Retired. Gardening and bicycling are my favorite hobbies.
Enjoy making 1 pot meals and roasts most since its so easy to experiment with different flavors. Like making Portugeese (Azorian) foods, especially the ones I remember my mom making.

Hearty Vegetable Stew with BeefGood basic recipe for a hearty soup. Added up to 8 oz tomato paste and additional veggies... zucchini, sweet potato, fresh fava beans, and fresh stringbeans. Also spiced it up...more salt, red pepper, and Emeril's "BAM" or equivalent. By Portwine

Southern Oyster StewHad a can of (cooked) oysters on the shelf for a long time (originally for turkey dressing). I love seafood and had always wanted to try Oyster Stew. It was delicious! Easy to make. I added 2 dashes of cayenne and about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of left over mashed potatoes. Next time I wil try fresh Oysters. Portwine

MenudoLiked the receipe becuase it had pork knuckles and the seasonings I was looking for. Would not use the butter next time. Also did not use all the pans, etc. Just boiled the tripe alone for about 10 minutes, dumped water. Then boiled tripe and knuckles together for a while and then added seasonings and cooked till tripe was tender. Much simpler......Portwine
