Sunday Stroganoff - A request from G

It's Sunday.....the day of rest........LOL

I learned a little about myself this week, I'm too old to stay up until 3am, three days in a row.  A four day girls weekend was just what my soul needed; time to regroup without judgement or care, I came home whole again ready to face the world head-on for another 6 months before the next getaway.  It's 7 days later and I am just now starting to feel like myself again, I guess it's true, no rest for the wicked.

Anyhow, it's Sunday the day I cherish. The day I know the four of us will be together at the dinner table talking about the week to come.  The day I make a meal that takes more than 30 minute, may contain butter or cream or some other ingredient we try to avoid most days. 

 I always ask for requests and more often than not get none, leaving me perusing my collection of books or the Internet for ideas.  Today was different! G requested beef strogenoff. I don't think I've made that in more than a decade... I'm not a fan of white food of any kind.   I didn't care, I was ecstatic someone had a suggestion, any suggestion, so off to the store I went.  After making a batch of healthy pumpkin muffins which turned out pretty darn bad, I turned my attention to dinner.  Here is how it went.  Overall pretty darn tasty.  I expected lots of leftovers but as I worked on the dishes, which should have been done by the kids but weren't as they were sent to their rooms for being so obnoxious I just couldn't take it anymore, G kept eating and eating until there was only a small amount left, so much for a second meal for four.  Enjoy!
