In Chi-town our winters have at all times reminded me of Russia.  Lot’s of snowy days with frosted home windows and red noses.  One day final 12 months as I walked down my driveway and the snow crunched underneath my feet, I was reminded of chilly winters as slightly girl. I was at all times comforted to odor the savory scents of a stew slowly cooking away at the range upper as I bumped into the residence after gambling all day within the snow.  My mom, made the greatest stews and pot roasts.  She used recent meals and easy flavors.  And was at all times capable to make an exceptional dish out of practically nothing.

On considered one of those very snowy days final year, throughout a actually lengthy and dreary winter, hubs decided to offer me the activity of a mushroom stew.  I simply so occurred to have offered some actually good mushrooms that I had no plans for.  I went out and offered my favourite piece of pork cut, a good cut of chuck that has plenty of marbling.  And went to work.
