NOPE for me!

I brown the meat first coated with flour - then I add the broth and water onions, paprika, black pepper and 3 or 4 bullion cubes - and let that simmer for about 1 hour or so - then I add in the potatoes and celery because they take longer to cook - at that point I add 2 bay leaves and season a little bit more to taste - after about another hour I do add the frozen mixed veggies and frozen stew veggies - after an hour I add in fresh carrots and fresh green beans. over all I cook the stew for about 7 or 8 hours before I have any so the flavors are better.

After all other fresh veggies added

Perfect on a cold day - Good Old Stew

One of these days you will have to come over the bridge to assist me with this twitter thing - besides I am still waiting for my bagel ;)

That look really good - how did it come out - I am sure it was great! Today I am making stew all day for football later - my house smells like home as a child - love me some stew!! Post a pic later after everything is added and ready to go!

What a great day - Football, Stew and NOPE - does it get any better??

Congrats on 2 months Rosie - that is just awesome - it does get easier each day - hang in there and reach out or vent as often as you need to that's why everyone is here. Everyday without a puff is a huge victory so reward yourself and be proud so are doing so well.

Hey Scooby - sorry to hear ye is having to deal with this - my brother had bad anxiety about certain things and my father has bouts once in a bit as well. I agree that medication is not always the path to take but sometimes it can help initially while you find other coping methods - one of the things besides meditation or to go along with meditation is ujjayi breathing - now that you are a non-smoker it will be even more effective. It is an incredible exercise to help relax your mind and your inner body. Can't promise it will be the end all cure but it may help. Sorry to hear about the car thing too that is ridiculous - I hate sales creeps. Hang in there - you have all of us praying for ye. If all else fails hope on a plane to the states - find your way to Savannah airport in Georgia and DD and I will be here to make you smile :) XXXX
