hopefully, there will be enough to last a few days. started with browning beef, onions, garlic in olive oil, so aromatic. crockpot, so, it will take its time today.
Was that the winning location? What are you doing in Brno? One of the companies I worked for had a small group of developers there.RZehr wrote:Brno!
not like my mother did, or i did in the past .. diabetes says, "no." for me, each time, it's a little different. this time, 2# cubed beef, browned with onion+garlic, 2# baby carrots, 2 smallish red potatoes, lots of celery, later, i'll add cabbage, broccoli, peas. this time, i'm planning to use beef broth and diced tomatoes, to make it more soup than stew.Bootstrap wrote: I love veg-beef soup ... do you use potatoes in it?
I was trying to decide how to split three days between Bratislava and Vienna, when a hotel sale directed my attention to Brno. I'm glad it did, it's an interesting place. I would have liked at least one more day in each city, though.Bootstrap wrote:Was that the winning location? What are you doing in Brno?

And the question turtles ... so why Bratislava and Vienna? What were you doing? Did you hear any Gypsy bands in Bratislava or see the castle while you were there?

Are you aware of the Clinton Administration's efforts in this regard?ohio jones wrote:Brno has an interesting history as well, if I remember it correctly.

Grrroannn. That's almost too much to handle on a Saturday afternoon.ohio jones wrote:I was trying to decide how to split three days between Bratislava and Vienna, when a hotel sale directed my attention to Brno.

So does the answer. Extremely pokey.Bootstrap wrote:And the question turtles ...
I heard this place was quite popular, and reservations should be made very early. So a couple months ago when the November reservations were scheduled to become available, I set my alarm for 3:30 in the morning. By the time I propped my eyelids open and navigated their web site, it was 3:45 a.m. and I was able to get the very last slot for the date and time I wanted.
