Being it is VERY cold out this morning, I figured what's the best way to stay warm? ....In a kitchen
while the stove is on. This is a work in progress...I just thought it up (never made it before).
Actually it is the result of Veggie Beef Soup Recipe reading. I'm still considering adding sour
cream or not. Also this will be a test of the ground bay leaf that was in my Penzeys Order that
arrived on Friday.
As a true experiment, I'm going to cut the round steak into suitable size after I Saute it.
