Food Fairy

For those of you that know me well, you know that I just can't cook. I don't like it and I'm always trying to rush it. Tonight I defied my disastrous culinary history and made the most delicious goulash!! I can't believe it either but it's true. Rich bought some beef and cooked it yesterday. It was nearly inedible. Very, very, chewy. What do you do with tough meat? Stew it! I said. He was sceptical, but while he was away today I poured a goulash spice mix into the pot and let it simmer for hours. I even threw in potatoes from the fridge. The vegetables escaped me, but the flavor was fabulous. I only wish I had thought to take a before instead of after picture!
