Oh my computer is wonkie, so I have to work off my iPad; my Christmas present that I haven't fully mastered yet. Kind of like a blog. Yes, I'm a blog virgin and that's ok. I still love to learn. It's the time factor that never seems to be on my side. The life of a stay at home mom.
Well I thought I should ketch everyone up. Today is Friday, the day two older children come to stay with us. The day my baby looks forward to seeing her big sissy! Thursday I made a wonderful venison stew in the crock pot. I cut up a decent sized cut of venison roast, seared it and dropped into the crock. Deglazed the pan with a cup of water and added 2 more to the crock, 2 cloves of chopped garlic 1 tbs of Worcestershire sauce, 1 bay leaf and 1 tbs kosher salt. I let it cook about 2 hours until i cut up red potatoes and added those to my crock pot.
I then chopped onion and sliced some mushrooms to sauté in butter with a tbs of chopped garlic. Yum.
I love sautéed mushrooms and onions in garlic! Think I could eat them all by themselves! Well I put these in my crock pot and deglazed that pan with a cup of water with beef bullion. The reason I had to do this is because I had shattered my crock pot lid a month ago and have been trying to use it by covering it with foil. Moisture leaked out from the pot so I didn't want to loose more. I allowed another half an hour on low and made a rue of 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup flour, to thicken slightly. Though very hot, as my crock runs quite intensely, my venison stew was flavorful and tender.
