Answers!

G-dawg has revealed herself to me!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I shall keep her anonymous to you all :o)
So now I shall answer her question about the Stroganoff.....

It does always come out a bit soupy. But the flavor is so wonderful that I never care. If you do want the sauce thicker you can do what Rebecca suggested to do int he comments..... she added flour and cut back on the beef broth. Or you can mix 1 TBL. of cornstarch with a bit of cold water and mix well. Add this to the bubbly broth mixture ,BEFORE you add the sour cream, and let it simmer a bit. Then add the sour cream and you should be good to go.

By the way, Rebecca also noted in the comments on the Stroganoff some other changes she used. She did say "red wine vinegar" and I want to note that it is just Red wine that was used, not red wine vinegar.

I will be out of town for the rest of the week so I shall chat with you all again next week!!!!!!!!!

Happy Cooking!

Question....

G-Dawg asked a question about the Stroganoff.....

"Okay, so I tried this recipe the other day and it was very, very delicious. But I have a question: Is it supposed to be of a soup consistency? It was very yummy, but I felt like I was eating beef soup with noodles. Did I miss something or is that just the way Stroganoff is? If so, that's okay with me because it was really good!"

G-Dawg~ I will give you an answer as soon as you tell us who you really are :o) No more undercoverness.

An answer and a tag.....

First an answer to a comment on freezing potatoes.....The answers is "Yes, they do turn a little brown". But only a little and once they are cooked they look normal again. I freeze uncooked potatoes often and have always had them turn out great.

Second, I have been tagged by my dear friend Rebecca!

Here is the game: If you are tagged, you have to post a "Would you rather" on YOUR blog and then tag 5 people.

"Would you rather get a manicure/pedicure or an hour massage?"

That is a tough one for me because I love to be pampered. Don't do it much but enjoy it to the fullest when I do. I am also the kind of girl who meticulously justifies every decision I make, it's an annoying habit, but at times a good one. So I would have to say the mani/pedi because technically it will last longer. Yes the massage will feel completely wonderful but I can't show it off when I am done. Now a fresh coat of paint on my toes and nails can be seen by all! Yes, I am a weirdo!

Now I will tag some people....
