What are you cooking?

Stew is started but way too late for eating tonight. It contains 2 pounds of sirloin tips, pearl onions, red bell pepper, rainbow colored taters, green beans, diced fire roasted tomatoes and a lot of carrots. It will go for 3-4 hours tonight in my smaller, 5 quart, crock pot then to the fridge until tomorrow when it will cook on low for several more hours. Does not currently look much like a stew but will when cooked down. I MAY take a 15 minute round trip walk to a liqueur store to pick up some Burgundy which I normally add for richness but we shall see. It has been WAY too long since I've done a stew so I'm excited. Some may question the fire roasted tomatoes but I happen to like them in a stew as they add needed acid.

That made me remember chicken fried steak as 1 of the few school cafeteria foods I'd eat. I don't think I've had it as an adult.
