Annual get-together with friends tonight. Baby brother did a pork rib roast with a port and mushroom sauce. Friend did homemade gnocchi with mushroom and spinach. I did bourbon and maple glazed carrots. Didn’t get photos of appetizers and dessert but it was cheese crisps before and chocolate poke cake after. 

My brother cut those huge chops. I couldn’t finish mine.

Then it was out to the garage where the other dudes fired up their stogies. They’re always considerate of the non-smokers. 😀

Once I learned I was 1% Jewish, I thought I should explore my culinary heritage. So, I schlepped a box of Manischewitz matzo ball & shoop mix home to try. 

I was sure an ancient ancestor was looking down from above crying, ‘Oy Vey, he’s meshuggenah!’, but I soldiered on. 

I followed the directions on the box to the letter, but found it nish keet. I knew I wanted something better to nosh on. 

Tiring of going back and forth to the website ‘32 Yiddish Words You Should Know’, I decided to just post a picture of my shooped up shoop:

Made a Guinness Stew out of some venison roast. Should have taken a picture before the group started eating because is all gone. I cut the roast up in one inch cubes and seasoned and floured them and browned them in a large pan. I added one chopped onion, 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms, chopped celery, 3 bay leaves, a couple sprigs of rosemary, couple table spoons of tomato paste, a table spoon of brown sugar, table spoon of worcestershire sauce, 32 ounces of beef stock and 12 ounces of Guinness Extra Stout and cooked until the meat was tinder. Then I added chunks of potatoes, carrots, green beans and coarse chopped cabbage and cooked until the potatoes are done. I was great. I will try to add a picture next time

Nice!
I’ve never done it with venison, but Guinness beef stew is a favorite around here.

Add a few pickled walnuts (quartered) and enjoy the contrast with the Guinness flavors.
