I was going to make a joke, wondering if "beef stew" was the new code word and nobody bothered to inform me, which would explain a lot. But I'm going to take the high road and not do that.
Rather, the combination of car and beef stew makes me remember a time when my delicate bride got mad at me for no good reason, got in her car, threw it in reverse, and smashed full on into my car which was parked behind her. After I saw the damage, kissed her, and told her I still loved her, I drove off in my smashed up car. I came home to the smell of my favorite beef stew and asked her where she got the red wine. She told me she felt so bad about the fight and smashing my car she spent the day cleaning every nook and cranny of the house as a surprise and found "an old bottle someone stuck in the back of the top cupboard." I could only laugh as I thought about the $150 bottle of wine I'd stuck back there as a surprise. Good stew, though.
No.
Beef Stew actually means stew... with beef and carrots and taters and stuff.
If there is a toss up between beef stew and the other, I am at the age now where I really would have to stop and consider each option.
My wife and I have a real healthy ‘other’. But dangit she makes a mean beef stew too.
