MENU FOR THE WEEK OF MARCH 11, 2013

My arm continues to be a problem, although it is a hell of a lot better than last week.  Warner continues to do the cooking.  Ergo, I’m looking for simple foods – especially dishes we can “dump” in the slow cooker and let them do their thing.

Sunday is St. Patrick’s Day, but we did the corned beef and cabbage bit  (New England Boiled Dinner) this week. So Warner is going to do his wonderful Irish Stew which is always a most satisfying hearty treat.  The first time he made it for me was before we were married. At the time I was a rather thin being – weighing in at less than 110.  Generally I had a small appetite – but I dug into this wonderful dish and had four helpings.  Must have been the Irish ancestry calling out.
