BRUNSWICK STEW

I love chicken and could eat it almost exclusively. This yummy stew is delish! And cooks in no time at all ;-)

As usual, I cooked it in my small sized crockpot because I was busy all day and couldn’t … and didn’t want to  … spend time hunched over the kitchen stove slaving away. LOL

While this meal cooked, I worked on finishing our little prince’s home education curriculum. I have themed the Units around farm and forest animals with my own concocted and printed cute little animal stories (https://jeastofeden.blogspot.com/2017/07/mod-booklets-for-my-little-prince.html) with added hands-on activities, worksheets (not too many, but gotta have ‘em if mama is going to put him back into public school at some point: I wish she wouldn’t, but she will), and field-trip adventure ideas that fit the stories I wrote for him.

It rained and poured here all day long and this meal was refreshing and revitalizing, the smell wafting from the kitchen area stimulated our senses and kept us awake during the sleep-inducing deluge; and the eating of the meal stimulated our taste buds, picking up where the aroma left off :-D
