My problem is I have a little head with a small face. Even my nose is small.

A few weeks ago, we went on an internet hunt for masks. We found a style I thought would work on my small head. Trouble is when we ordered them, we had to order a minimum of 200. I have plenty of masks all the same size. They are the disposable blue ones with elastic bands.

Here are my complaints...

Beef Stroganoff

Beef stroganoff is traditionally served over egg noodles. This beef stroganoff can also just be eaten out of a bowl like a thick soup or stew. Or you can serve it with a side of veggies.

Ingredients:

1 lb of beef tenderloin or sirloin steak. half-inch thick
4 Tbl of butter (divided)
½ pound of mushrooms washed, trimmed and sliced
1 cup of chopped onion (I use Vidalia)
1 cup of unsalted beef broth or stock
2 Tbl of organic catsup or tomato sauce
1 tsp of minced garlic (jar garlic will do)
Grated sea salt to taste. (I do 12 turns on my mill)
2 Tbl of white flour
1 cup of full fat sour cream

Instructions:

Cut the meat into strips half-inch wide and up to two inches long.

Melt two tablespoons of butter in your saute pan. Add the mushrooms and onion. Cook until wilted and onion is tender. Then remove those from the skillet. Add the other two tablespoons of butter and saute the meat. You just want to get it brown on both sides. It does not need to be cooked all the way through. Set aside a third cup of broth in a small bowl. Pour the rest of the broth in with the meat. Add catsup, garlic and salt. Let simmer on medium low for 15 minutes. (While this is cooking it will be a good time to cook your noodles if you are using them).

Blend the reserved broth with the flour. Pour that in with the meat mixture. Add the onions and mushrooms. Heat to boiling. Bubble and stir for one minute to thicken. Turn off heat. Add the sour cream. Stir it in the sauce until it all heats up.

Enjoy!
Cheers and Hang in,
