Rainy night, Hearty meal

Stew(combo of irish and hunter's stew) and french bread



broccoli slaw



homemade french bread



fresh carrot and apple juice

It was raining since this morning, though it was not that cold we feel like having some kind of soup for dinner. I immediately thought of the Irish stew i used to cook when we were full pledged meat lovers... : ). But this time, i tweaked the recipe a little bit. I sort of combined two recipes in one. Hunter's stew and Irish stew. I decided to experiment simply because i love both. Hunter's stew has more tomato as base sauce while Irish stew has lots of vegetable in it. So why not combined both! Honestly, i have no clue if it's going to be good or not but it turns out to be a match made in heaven ......MMMMMMM.......
I served the stew with some homemade french bread, coz hubby and daughter love it, some salad on the side and our healthy drink carrot-apple juice(i know it looks nasty but trust me it really taste good). I had some rice on the table but, surprise, surprise we didn't have any. Gosh, Those big slice of bread? just a couple of them is more than enough to keep your belly full.
 Nothing beats a warm hearty meal on a rainy day like this!
