Hmmm...let's see.....

1)  I always long for warm, rich stews of a winter evening...either a 
beef stew with chunks of turnip, carrot, onion, celery) or a Virginia 
Brunswick stew (only I can't figure out what to substitute for the corn 
so I can have it on my diet)...with a crusty loaf of multi-grain or 
sourdough bread from my favorite bakery at the local farmer's market....or
2)  The creamed chipped beef on toast that my husband makes.  The 
recipe, which I don't have, but he carries around in his head, is one 
his mother got from a Marine mess seargeant who cooked for the Officers' 
Club.  It uses both ground beef and chipped beef...and is a tradition on 
Christmas morning.. or....
3)  the standing rib pork roast I make with a stuffing of granny smith 
apples, bread, and seasonings...oh, the aroma it leaves in the kitchen!!!!
