I got nothing against you all and I respect your choice but I'm just saying, this isn't going to be something you'll like, OK?

But for the carnivores:

So - the weathers getting colder; time for hearty, warming soups and stews, eh? Over the weekend at the market I bought some really fine looking venison chunks, and tonight I made a big ass chunky thick gorgeous rustic fucking stick to your goddamn ribs stew like you would not believe!

First, I washed the meat chunks and let me tell you - when I opened the packaging on those suckers the smell was so intense, you'd swear a goddamn elk had walked into the room. Serious wild animal musk. I could feel my teeth sharpening.

So I tossed the meat chunks in flour and browned them in hot oil, and put them aside.

I took one big onion and chopped it roughly, then softened that in a stock pot with a few cloves of minced garlic. Once they were nearly softened, I added a spoon or so (all the measurements for this are 'or so' - I cook by eye LOL) of dried time and a couple small branches of rosemary, then let that cook for another two minutes (ish). Added a tablespoon or so of flour, then added water a bit at a time so that it was nice and thick.

At this point I put in two carrots, a big parsnip, a swede/rutabega, and a big potato, all diced quite large. I added just enough water to cover the veg, chucked in a few bay leaves, a pinch of some dried chipotle chilies I had in the cabinet (just a bit, just to get the lovely smokey flavour but not the heat), and two boullion cubes. I brought all that to a boil, then turned it down and let that simmer for about a half hour.

Then I chucked in the meat, a handful of fresh parsley, another handful of fresh sage, some frozen green beans I had in the freezer, and some sliced mushrooms. Brought it to the boil again, then left it simmer another 20 minutes.

Finally, added a dash of soy sauce, a few drops of red wine vinegar and some pepper. Simmered five more minutes and done!

And it was fucking great. And there's some leftover for lunch tomorrow. Yay!
