    …okay, but for real though. It’d be nice if the Texas power grid kept hangin’ in there.

      I made a big batch of potato soup last night for this exact reason! Got some thick bread to go with it too!

      Your stew looks awesome af, and I’m saving that recipe.

      Let’s hope that we’re enjoying these from warm houses with functioning pipes throughout tomorrow!

      There’s no power grid to blame, but our condensate line froze, so no furnace heat for a while, yay.

    Have to say, making beer beef stew is a very old Scottish tradition, and Guinness is definitely one of the worst beers you could use. It’s a stout and too heavy with the beef. An IPA works perfectly though!

    Edit - also, modern Scottish trick - add a splash of dry red wine too!

          I tasted lots of great brew in Europe, all the IPA is the same imo. Junk.

      This recipe not only calls for Guinness, but also chocolate and espresso! I almost want to make it, but I’m scared it’s gonna cost like $50 and not taste good.

    Fucking hell. I don’t even eat make stews and this is exactly what I need.

    Edit: I absolutely eat stew when offered. It’s been a while.

      That bowl is doing it’s absolute best.

      Edit: Removed the “fuck off” because it came across as serious.
