I made this up the other day and it turned out pretty darn good. Plus it’s reasonably priced with bison stew meat going for $7.49 a pound at Whole Foods. There’s very little precision to it, it’s “old school, your grandma has leftovers and she threw them all in the pot” stew but it’s tasty and healthy.
1 lb bison stew meat cubed
1 onion chopped
enough garlic to make you happy, chopped
1 large sweet potato rough chopped
1 can diced tomatoes (I used one with peppers and onions)
Any root veggies you want (I didn’t have any on hand but I bet rutabagas would be good)
1 can of diced green chilies
1 jar of Tikka Masala sauce (or cream of mushroom soup or whatever floats your boat)
saute the onions and garlic in olive oil for a couple of minutes until they are translucent. Add the stew meat and brown on medium high heat. Dump that into a slow cooker. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir it a couple of times. Cook on low for 5-6 hours.
The sweet potatoes are a nice contrast to the chilies and tikka sauce. This would probably work well with any game meat.
Not too long ago, I went out to my vegetable garden to fertilize all the plants. I have events on my phone’s calendar that reminds me when it is time to fertilizer particular things in our yard. After I was done, I left the bag of fertilizer on the grill shelf outside because I knew …

Frenchman Gregory Havret, in a consolation interview, was gracious and personable. He talked about playing well, about …

Lexington Green asks this question over at Chicago Boyz while providing his own answer. It’s a phrase you often hear but that rarely is explained. I wonder if it isn’t largely personal in nature and possibly dependent on your political proclivities. However, given the existence of the concept, I also feel that there are common …

A fascinating article at New Deal 2.0 details the steps we are taking towards a likely second Great Depression. At a time when economies are teetering on the edge of recovery and a second recession, governments are starting to make noises, particularly in Europe, about reducing deficits as a model for responsible financial health. Unfortunately, …

I have a confession to make: I’m a time waster. But worse than that, I hate it when other people waste time even though I have a strong tendency to do exactly the same thing whenever I sit down in front of the computer. Regardless of my hypocrisy, I’d prefer to not be a time …

Overreaching headlines aside, the Eurozone is a bit of trouble. Greece has been bailed out in an attempt to avoid a sovereign default. Those in the know think the Greeks are unlikely to be the last country in the Eurozone to require a bailout and the conditions the IMF are expecting Greece to conform with …

I sit on the Library Advisory Board for the City of Wylie and we had our monthly meeting last night. At one point in the discussions, it came up that a relatively minor technical problem had happened at the library and that it had taken almost a week to fix. In discussing this event, several …
