Wild dog stew

Did anyone else think Rover and Rex looked a little tough, dry, and gamey last night?

Here's my recipe for wild dog stew

Shoulder or flank of one wild dog, skinned and all bullets removed *
4 cloves fresh garlic, peeled
1 large onion or leek, diced
2-3 stalks celery, chopped
2 tblspn olive oil
2 cups small young potatoes ("Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew")
1 cup diced sweet potato, yam, or butternut squash
6-8 large mushrooms, sliced
1 peeled diced parsnip
2-3 peeled chopped carrots
1 large can stewed tomatoes
1 cup red wine
1 beef or vegetable bouillion cube
Italian herbs: basil, oregano, thyme, sage, black pepper, rosemary
1 cup green kale, chopped fine
1 tsp cornstarch dissolved in a little water.

Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot. Saute the garlic, onion, mushrooms, and celery until soft and fragrant. Add the wild dog roast and sear for a few minutes, then immediately add the wine, tomatoes, and enough water just to cover it. Simmer covered on medium-low for 2 hours.

Add the "root" vegetables, bouillion and herbs. Simmer for another hour until the potatoes and meat are fork-tender. Add the kale and cornstarch for the last 15 minutes; the sauce will thicken.

Good the first day, but better on the second. Serve with warm crusty bread or over whole wheat pasta.

* If you're fresh out of wild dog, you can substitute a 2-3 lb beef chuck roast, or a pork or lamb shoulder roast.

Ya, I was so cold and thirsty after this one.

He has a Terminus vibe to him for sure. Creeped me the hell out!!

Hah! What show are you watching?

Admiral I watch like this, I'm pretty sure it's walking dead I'm watching,
Skeletal dead behind the eyes creatures,
Quick to attack, driven by greed.
- Meh - could have been real housewives of New Jersey.

Lol at the roasted dog. Speaking of that, do you guys watch Talking Dead? I loved the disclaimer. I can't remember exactly, but it was something like, "no dogs were harmed in the making of this show about people being eaten." And I think a later one that said something similar, sorry if eating dogs offends you when eating people doesn't. Lol!

Lol those disclaimers are funny.

Yup! At this point it'll hurt more to find a community of good people that can be a home, and then have that taken away again.

Please. Please. Please be a sanctuary.
My wish is that Morgan is behind those doors, & they have a nursery for Judith , & Michonne finds love. - but I'm not holding out hope.

I was hoping Rick would shave his beard. Looks like there is a plan B if things don't work out. Carl has a potential love interest?

I was also glad that Rick cleaned up. And that Glenn shut up that idiot! I am tired of our regulars dying though. Kill someone else if they must for a change! I think Daryl is ready to move out already. Or at least go on a hunt for dinner. Strange that they let him and Michonne keep their weapons. And I laughed outloud at the way Carol was putting on the helpless act. The way she struggled removing her weapons even.

so, I'm wondering if the guy Deanna banished was Morgan??
and, I'm with you guys on rioting if Daryl dies!
to play devil's advocate, there are a lot of 'regular' characters now, more than half of them don't have any lines it seems.

I think they're showing us that in this situation, Rick is the evil person. But it's more likely that the "wolves" that wiped out Noah's community are on their way, and that teenage girl is their scout.

(I don't read the comics, I only watch the show)

I like how they ended it with Rick saying that basically if it doesn't work out, they will just take the place. Another thing to think about is that this group found this place by following the signs. Did they take the signs down advertising the "luxury community"??? This can attract some evil people. Can't wait to see what happens but they better leave Daryl alone!!

Hmmmm, I may be finding a new favorite show to watch. I also watch Grimm.
