I am makin' stew

For those of you that are curious, the stew is VERY good... I let it cook a long time and it was very good and tender. GOOD idea about drinking the broth before then eating meat and veggies! I will have to do that after WLS.

As for the bean and crock pot story (I know left everyone wondering). I had beans on the stove top and didn't put enough water in at all and then put them on high heat and not low ( I don't know what I was thinking) I then went to the back bedroom and about 45 minutes later my smoke detectors were going off like crazy and BURNT bean smell was in the house for a week.. BUT I have learned. As for the crock pot (I didn't break it T.) the heating element stopped working in it. I don't know exactly how, but it is kind of old. DON'T Worry though, I asked Santa for a new one!

Anyone else asking Santa for anything good, besides wonderful model like bodies??LOL!

Have a wonderful evening everyone!
