Winter Food on a Cold Spring Evening

Good morning,

Since Mother Nature hasn't figured out what season it is and it was so cold outside yesterday, I made beef stew in the crock pot.  It still had about four hours to go when I took this picture.  When it was ready the sauce had thickened and the meat was marvelously tender and tasty.

Now I'm waiting for Mother Nature to provide a day for a Spring Salad.
