I'm 100% certain that someone's editing your posts Jans, lol. And it's not me.

Boiled russet potatoes run through a mouli, incorporate creme fraiche and just enough flour to have it form a dough. Don't knead it, as this produces gluten which will further make it tough. Roll into 1 1/2 ft. logs at about the thickness of a quarter and cut into 1 inch gnocchi. Boil until tender, about 45-55 seconds.

Cool, might give it a go. Thanks. I like gnocchi but I've only ever attempted making pumpkin gnocchi and it was pretty disastrous.

I've started getting back into cooking in a big way, but I've pretty much run through all the recipes I know and am looking for some new things to try cooking. With the change in weather approaching I was thinking a beef stew served in a bread bowl. Now the bread bowls are easy enough, but I've never actually made a stew before, but the recipes I find online seem simple enough. Does anybody have any tips or secret ingredients they like to add?

Pete, I cooked this recipe for friends awhile back. Knocked it outta the park. I used a Stone IPA for the beer however, Budweiser would have been sacrilege.

Red wine (cabernet sauv)
carrot, onion, celery, parsnip, golden beet, leek
butter
beef stock
s + p
fresh thyme, rosemary, sage
dried oregano

Sear the beef before you add it to the pot, deglaze the pan with sherry/cab sauv and a small bit of tomato paste, then braise it for as long as you can stand if you want a rustic stew.

Sounds pretty damn good. Watch out for the fresh oregano though Pete its pretty over powering to a palate.

That recipe looks great, I'll have to save it for a Saturday or Sunday when I have the time to slow cook something like that. Thanks!

This sounds like a lot of the recipes I've read, although none of them have mentioned the use of oregano. Also thanks for clarifying what type of wine to use, I appreciate it!

I've just started on an experimental batch of green tea wine featuring strawberries, blueberries, and granola.

I'll post pics in three weeks when it's finished.
