[Northkeep] Feast recipes

[Miriam Cook]

The stew and the Salad didn't exaclty follow the
tightest of recipes... The stew, well-- coat come stew
beef in a light layer of flower and brown in olive
oil. Then chop up a couple of onions and a couple of
cloves of garlic. Throw it all into a big pot with
some salt and some pepper and water to cover and bring
it to a boil, then simmer for 2 or so hours, the
longer the better, till the meat falls apart. It was a
REAL BASIC stew.

The salad was pretty basic too-- The dresing consisted
of olive oil and red-wine-vinigar and bit of lemmon
juice, garlic, pepper and a bit of salt and parsley
all whipped up together.  Shred up some romain
lettuce, and chop cuecumbers and add some crumbled
feta. I had some pepperocini's (you can get a really
big jar for $10 at Kabani;s at Admiral and Harvard)
and some olives in there too. I eliminated these, but
you can also have green peppers and tomatoes. It's a
real fun salad to play with, maybe with a bit of
grilled chicken cut into strips or something like
that--
