In this article I taste an inexpensive California wine from the recently deceased wine giant Robert Mondavi who to a large extent put California on the international wine map. If you really want to become a wine professional consider the Robert Mondavi Institute (RMI) for Wine and Food Science at the University of California, Davis. We are too old for that sort of thing but not too old to enjoy his wine, at least in this price range. One day we may taste one of his $100 Cabernet Sauvignons, but we won't be reporting on it here. For the time being let's see how is beef stroganoff french the company's wine does. By the way, you may be able to find this wine in the United States for considerably less than $10.
Which leaves us with this: glaciers aren't fun, and impending extinction ranks somewhere between the last Transformer movie and the U.S. Congress on the Suck-A-Tron scale. So all you can do is grab your parka, stock up on packages of freeze-dried beef stroganoff slow cooker, and hope that you'll see the Thaw.
Russia follows the old Julian calendar. On this calendar, Christmas falls thirteen days after the Western holiday. January 7th is the russian stew date to celebrate Christmas. The Russian Advent season lasts for forty days - from November 28 to January 6.
beef stew - Stew meat can run five dollars or more a pack. Commonly it is just the scraps from cutting your pot roast and round steaks. So take that leftover roast and chop it into cubes. Toss this in a stew pot with two cans of tomato sauce, a can of corn, a can of greenbeans, a can of peas, a packet of stew seasoning, four peeled/chopped potatos and two cans of water. Bring to a boil, stirring occassionally. Then let simmer another hour or so, continuing to stir on occassion. Alternatively, if you are going to work, throw the ingredients into the crockpot on low all day. This is a great meal for those winter months to heat your bones.
The meals only require a small amount of hot water to reconstitute them into a delicious, satisfying meal. The reconstitution process takes anywhere from fifteen to thirty minutes. Meals that have meat chunks tend to take longer than the pastas and stews. Because of the flash freeze process, the food does not shrink. Once the water is added, the food will return to its original state before the process began. Water is a valuable commodity during times of emergency. This is another reason these meals are a great addition to any emergency kit.
