As I am posting my Mom is in the kitchen getting tea ready ......yes, it is early , but we are having a home made stew and really the slower and longer that you can cook a stew the better. There is also pearl barley in there which I love. Later, she will make some dumplings are put those in the stew too ....my favourite. Do you like a home made stew .....

Once in a while Pretty will ask me to cut up veggies for a stew and she'll throw everything into the slow cooker. We both enjoy it but I usually have to add some salt to mine before it tastes "right" to me.

I love home-made stew but I don't like pearl barley. Long, slow cooking is the best for stews and casseroles.

Stew is one of my favorites and I agree that the longer it cooks the better it tastes. I make mine in the crockpot so it cooks all day long and your mouth waters as you smell it for hours and hours

Moms are real blessings. Aren't they? My mom is here with me for my post surgery recovery. I am just enjoying the love, care and attention that I am getting. And not to forget the home made delicacies . Nothing beats mom's cooking.

You and me would get on well because what you just described is my idea of a proper tea Home made stew. Staple of ours in the 60,s and still is. Dumplings expanding , soaking up the gravy, Nothing better. When we have mince and tatties we always have dumplings with it. I love a home made stew. Reminds me of my childhood, my youth, early adult hood, late adult hood and last week
