Caribbean Chicken Stew with Black Beans & Rice

a staple of Caribbean cuisine — a rich stew of boneless chicken thighs and potatoes infused with dark brown sugar, coconut milk, and plenty of aromatics. A side of basmati rice with black beans completes this comforting classic.

3. Wegmans Supermarket Prepared Beef Stew

in a sealed bag. You cook it in the oven for 2 hours and 30 minutes, then it has to rest for 10 minutes. Cooking time almost up. It smells delicious. It's good for a somewhat cold night. It has a slow cooker option but that took 4 hours.

13. It's apparently Thanksgiving dry run night...

Son insisted on making a dinner that grew out of control—mashed tatties and two kinds of gravy (he knew I wouldn’t eat the actual chicken gravy), mixed veg, Gardein turk’y cutlets for me, and a ridiculously giant cast iron skillet with some kind of sausage and stuffing (from a box). I figured it was fine because I didn’t have to lift a finger and I’d only had a PB sandwich and a granola bar for lunch.

As I’m chuckling over his over-the-top efforts, a part of me is kind of sad there’s no pumpkin pie… This weekend may include pie day, or at least pumpkin muffins.
