HIHCookin3

I learned to make this stew the first year we were married, when we were living in Rhode Island. I knew next to nothing about cooking. When it was my night to cook at home, I usually talked Daddy into going out for pizza. Of course, I had learned to make Tuna/Potatoe Chip casserole in Home Ec, which I proceeded to make twice a week. Then my sweet hubby finally broke down and told me he couldn't stand tuna. So I went out and bought a cookbook, made multiple emergency phone calls to my mother and Richard started teaching me to cook.
