What you need: 


  • 1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    • 1 pound of beef that’s cut into bite-sizes
    • 1 onion chopped
    • 1 garlic clove, minced
    • 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 packet of Lipton onion mix
    • 1 cup of carrots chopped
    • 2 potatoes that’s cut into bite-sizes
    • 4 cups of water
    • 2 tablespoon of water for mixing Lipton onion mix

    In a large pot, sauté onion and garlic with the olive oil. Next add in the beef and continue to sauté. In a bowl, mix in a packet of Lipton onion mix with 2 tablespoon of water and 1 table spoon of Worcestershire sauce. Then pour the mixture into the pot with the beef and continue to sauté so that it is mixed in with the meat. Add in the carrots and potatoes next and stir it so it’s combined with the rest of the meat and sauce in the pot. Finally, add 4 cups of water and bring it to a simmer. Simmer until beef and potatoes are tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper if needed, then serve.

    Of all the -isms ...

      Of all the -isms in our culture today, this one is often ignored and up there with the most nefarious. I’m talking about nepotism. This is because it is so stealthy. It is not obvious. You never know who is related to whom, either by blood or by marriage.  Unfortunately, you don’t get to choose who your family are. The treachery within family is stuff of legends and timeless novels. At the same time, the benefits of some families just keep on giving, bootstraps not needed at all, just look for the red carpet treatment. When it comes to nepotism, there are tell-tale signs over time, emphasis on time. There are certain people who seem to get away with everything. Rules for you but not for them.

Then there are some people who haven't done much and yet they’re bestowed with awards and recognitions nonstop just for showing up. Meanwhile, the rest of us are...

The amount of butter varies depending on the bread and how much parmesan you’d like. Mix the butter with garlic seasoning and the shredded parmesan cheese. Spread it on the bread and put it in the oven or toaster oven. Baking time will vary depending on how toasted you like your bread. Bake until the butter is melted into the bread or until the parmesan cheese is slightly toasted.  There are many garlic seasonings out there, but this Weber one is my favorite, not salty, just herbs and garlic. The same goes for the s...
