Last night I was watching the Red Sox kick the crap out of the Rockies and I realized that I had forgotten to eat dinner. I didn't feel like ordering a pizza, and I'd had Chinese for lunch. My refrigerator is a typical bachelor 'fridge, with more condiments and beverages than actual food in it. So I opened my pantry and began to go through the cans. Tuna was too depressing, and beans/chili would wreak havoc on my stomach. My eyes alighted on the perfect meal in a can: Dinty Moore Beef Stew. I love this stuff. With a slice of white bread to mop up the gravy, it is truly sublime. I washed it down with a cream soda, and was eminently satisfied at the end of my meal. Thursday, October 25, 2007

This is great information to have. I am the laziest cook so I will most certainly give this a try. I wonder why I haven't yet?
I think you had to grow up with it. My dad would feed me this when I was a kid and my mom was gone.
Well, I was at Target today on lunch and I knew I wouldn't have time to stop anywhere else to get food. So I walked by the soup aisle and there it was. I decided to go for it. I heated it up once I got back to work and since I didn't have any bread I ate it with crackers. Confirmed! It was pretty darn delicious and suprisingly filling.
Glad I didn't let you down Jamm-o! Next recipe: Frito Pie (my lunch on Saturday). . .
