Holy mother of god.
My mom came over yesterday and I had ingredients for a beef stew lying around, so while I was off to University she cooked up some beef stew. Well I have no idea what she slipped into that stew, but it's amazing. Words cannot express how loving good it is. It's perfectness reminded me of the entire reason why I'm constantly cooking for myself instead of being a cheap bastard and buying out, which is so I can maybe, just maybe be good enough at cooking to make that stew myself one day.
I figured out the secret ingredient for it (yes there is a secret ingredient), but that alone isn't enough. I swear to god she sprinkles some magic on that stew, somehow, and it becomes intoxicating. I would eat some more right now but I want it to last, just for a bit longer, maybe until Sunday.
Oh well once it's all gone I'll be stuck with plain old hash browns and scrambled eggs with ham and mushrooms and a dash of chilli pepper and savory. Actually that sounds pretty good right now maybe I'm just getting hungry again.
tl;dr my mom makes the best beef stew in the universe. Discuss meals and food in general, maybe there are some cooking experts on this forum willing to share some advice
