The Italian Stew was wonderful. The vegetables were nice and tender and the herbs cooked throughout everything made it unlike anything I'd had before. I will definately make it again. The only problem I had with it was the time it took to make it. From start to finish was 1 hour and 45 minutes. It was a good Sunday meal to make since I don't have much time on weeknights to make something like this. I would like to try to make it in the crockpot sometime and see if it turns out the same. Take the time to try it, it's worth the time.

What's for Dinner?
My Mom found this recipe in one of my new cookbooks. It is cooking right now and smells very good. Here is it:
Italian Sausage Stew
From: Taste of Home Dinner on a Dime
1-1/2 lbs Italian sausage links, cut into 1-inch pieces (I used Jenni-O)
3 cups water
4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
2 medium carrots, cut into chunks
2 celery ribs, cut into chunks
2 small onions, cut into wedges
1/4 cup Worchestershire sauce
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. each dried basil, thyme and rosemary, crushed
1 bay leaf
Salt & Pepper to taste
3/4 cup ketchup
1/2 large green or sweet red pepper, cut into chunks (I used red)
1 Tbsp. minced fresh parsley, or 1 tsp. dried parsley
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 Tbsp. cold water
In a Dutch over over medium heat, brown sausage; drain. Add water, potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, Worchestershire sauce and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook over low heat for 1 hour or until vegetables are tender.
Add ketchup, green/red pepper and parsley; cook 12-15 minutes longer or until pepper is tender. Discard bay leaf
Combine cornstarch and cold water until smooth; stir into stew. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
Yield: 6 servings.
I'll let you know how it tastes later. It's time for me to go add the rest of the ingredients and make some garlic bread to go with it! Have a great evening!

Five ? Friday
1. If you had the opportunity to bungee jump, would you? Never!!!
2. Would you rather go to the movie theater or to the drive-in? I love the drive-in, but I haven't been to either in years!
3. Do you have your groceries delivered? We don't have delivery service where I live... besides what would I do with myself if I couldn't hit people with my cart!
4. Eyebrows: Do you wax, thread, pluck, or stay au naturel? I pluck the strays to keep myself from getting the dreaded uni-brow!
5. Would the people you went to high school with be surprised by your life today? Hard to say. I know I'm not where I planned to be, but I'm happy and I think that's all people will see.
