Sometime there is too much with the world and one needs some comfort. After a trying week with a stolen debit card, unexpected car repairs and frustrations, this soul needed some comfort. Turning on some iTunes and listening to my collection of 106.1 Music CD's , mixing flour, yeast, water, & oil to make some bread along with a big pot of Gypsy Stew, I found some serious soul comfort. I hope you enjoy this variation of Molly Katzen's Gypsy Stew from the Moosewood Cookbook . It's a long time favorite of mine and gets better with every bowl.
