Last night I made a beef stew that would make you slap yo mama. Richard liked it so much that he said, dare I say, it was better than his mother's. I did not do anything fancy or use any exotic ingredients. The one thing I did differently was to cook and season in layers.
Typically I brown the meat, pour in the liquid, dump in all of the veggies, and season. This time I browned my meat with the onions and garlic, salt and peppered, poured in the liquid and brought to a boil, added more spice, and finally added the veggies with more spices. I do have to give Rachael Ray props because I stole the "season in layers" from a show the other day. What a difference that made! Richard did not even add salt; he never does that.
Another great thing about last night was leftover cornbread. Do you know what the greatest thing in the world to do with leftover cornbread is? Have cornbread covered in milk! Before you gag at the thought, you must try it. If you consider yourself to be a true southerner, then this is a requirement.

Glad that you had a stew... we had some today. In fact, there's enough left for at least a week! The nice part is the weather to go along with it!
I made some sort of chili thing... and I seasoned in layers! Hope it turns out as good as your stew did. Have a great day!
