It's Friday! What's for Dinner?

So before I left for work this morning I threw some ingredients into the crock pot:

Stew Meat
Diced Red Potatos
Chopped Celery
Diced White Onion
1 Can Beef Broth
1 Mini Bottle Red Wine
Water
Mrs Dash Table Blend
Low Sodium Salt (I think this is an oxymoron)
Water

I'll throw in some herbs and a little cornstarch slurry to thicken it up if it needs it when I get home to finish it off.

I also have a Pilsbury French Loaf to stick in the oven for some hot n' fresh bread for soaking up the stewy goodness.

true.. then I could work part time... just enough to get by... Just a matter of talking Dana into something like that... she'll have a hard time leaving CA...

i'm good wherever, as long as the weather isn;t too extreme...

I tell ya, if you are looking for a great place to raise kids with great schools you could do a lot worse then the Triad.

The first one is actually closer to our house, and both of them are in really great areas!

For our place last year it was a little over $1800 - but that is because of where our house is located since it is in the Incorporated part of the city.

so what is that.. a little over 1% ?
