Today’s
Recipe and Location: Sunday Night Stew
Found
in: The Pioneer Woman blog
I figured out that there are
216 calories per serving, if 10 servings are made. (Please note that the calorie
counts vary depending on the specific brands of ingredients that you choose to use.)
This
stew is dark and rich and a definite winter food. I am happy I made it now
while the weather is fluctuating between 40 and 50 degrees. I learned all about
a new food for me. I had never cut up a turnip before. It is definitely in the
root family. In fact, I learned they are in the cabbage family. They are not what
I would call an attractive veggie. I had to peel them before I chopped them up.
I
also found out they are good food for livestock. Why I found this important to
share – we will never know. I did like the fact that a medium turnip is only 34

Random Reflections
For the past few years we have
seen a pair of cardinals in our neighborhood. He is bright red, as you can see
in the picture, extremely loud while she is a dull brownish color, quiet and
calm. He has a very distinct call and makes himself heard throughout the day.
I
love cardinals and learned long ago that is the state bird of Illinois. I
researched it and found that the cardinal was selected in 1929. Apparently the
cardinal is a favorite bird as seven states made it their symbol.
Helpful Home Hints
I
have a great idea for extra cords or cables. My Mom always used paper towel or
toilet paper rolls to keep cords from becoming tangled or being thrown into a
drawer. Considering the sheer number of mechanical devices and chargers
everyone has today, organizing your cords could really help out. You can even
decorate the rolls with the name of the device.
