Gone All Day Stew

For a very long time, I had been contemplating what I'd call this little project of mine.  From time to time it'd come up in conversation...like when we were in San Francisco with our wine drinking buddies having martini's and liquior after a long weekend of wine tasting in Napa.  I think that weekend I'd decided that it would be called "Mile-high Mirepiox" (thanks to T-Bills.)  To be honest, I had my blog page made many, many months before I finally decided on a name. 

But "TheStewDenver" came about when I was sitting at home, staring at this page all by myself.  I started thinking about the recipes I loved the most from my childhood and the ones I missed the most...Gone All Day Stew was the first recipe that came to mind.  This recipe is my Grandmother's recipe; one that she made so many times when we'd all get together. 

So this one is for her....
