There is nothing better, but the Moody Blues are not too bad either. Mrs. Translator and I named the two youngest sons after them. Warmest regards, Doc. Tomorrow is the lesson for plain pastry crust. Get your lard ready. I am listening to The Who at a high volume. There is nothing better, but the Moody Blues are not too bad either. Mrs. Translator and I named the two youngest sons after them.

Do you ever listen to the Prarie Home Companion? That is an excellent show. Our friend Keilor writes very well.

It really makes a huge difference in the stew! My favorite stews have LOTS of onion and potatoes (my mother is first-generation Irish!), and I like to put the carrots in almost last so that they still retain some crunch. My secret ingredient in stews is masa harina - I make a slurry of it and then add it to help thicken the stew.
