Verbal's No Worries Stew
1 lb of stew beef
Can of diced tomatoes
3 cubed potatoes
2-3 sliced carrots
1 minced onion
1 minced green pepper
4-5 cubes beef bullion
whatever else that is in the fridge that you think might be good in stew
Cut up the stew beef pieces so they are smaller. Dredge the beef in flour. Brown it. Dump everything in the crock pot, along with 2-3 cups of water, on low for 4-5 hours. When cooked, drain the liquid into a sauce pan, add pepper and bullion to taste, add a tablespoon or so flour and whisk until it is boiling to thicken it. Dump everything back together. Serve with good crunchy bread of some kind.
You guys are busy telling jokes, laughing. Laughing like a bunch of school girls. What you should be doing is asking what happened to this poor man. Why is he in so much pain while making nachos for 3-6 people? Why?
The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.
