Well, it’s time for me to write something here. Normally it’d be something geeky and/or dorky, but as I’m sitting down to write this all I can think about is food. Food, glorious food.

So I’ve decided to share with you all the recipe for Mookie’s World Famous Stew.

Here are the ingredients you’ll need:
Olive Oil
3/4 cup White Cooking Wine
4-5 cloves of Garlic
3 Potatoes
1 container of Mushrooms
3 Tomatoes
1 can of Black Beans

First coat the bottom of a cooking pot with a very generous amount of olive oil. Dice the cloves of garlic and put them in the olive oil, and set the stove to simmer. While the oil and garlic are getting warm, cut the potatoes into small triangles. Peel them if you want, but I prefer to keep the skins on. Add them to the garlic and oil and turn the heat up to about medium. Stir the potatoes so they get nice and coated in the garlic and olive oil. Next, cut the mushrooms into triangles and add them to the potatoes. I prefer to leave the stems on, but you can remove them if you like. Once all the mushrooms are added, stir them generously into the garlic, olive oil and potatoes. Add more olive oil if you need to keep the cooking pot nice and slick. Let the mixture soak into the potatoes and mushrooms for about 2-3 minutes, then add the 3/4 cup of White Cooking Wine. If you prefer a less salty taste, any cheap white wine will also suffice. Stir the stew after you add the wine and let it cook while you cut your tomatoes into large, long triangles. Do not dice them into small squares. Add them to the stew and stir. Let it sit and cook while you drain and rinse your can of Black Beans. Then you add the beans and stir them in. Now that all of the ingredients are in the stew it’s important to keep stirring so the olive oil, white cooking wine, mushroom and tomato juices all blend together into a sauce. Adjust the heat as necessary. The stew will be done when the potatoes have reached your desired softness. Take it off the heat, let it cool for about five to ten minutes, then serve. It’s going to be hot, but it’s a thick, hearty stew that will keep you warm on a cold day.

And there you have it. Mookie’s World Famous Stew.
Enjoy!
