Being one who is just so lazy to cook, but now am forced (albeit very willingly) to make home-cooked food for Bobby and the cats, I thought it would only be fair that I cook for the humans as well! Here’s today recipe for a simple dump-everything-in-and-boil vegetarian stew which we had as our Christmas…

Now, I hear it is still popular and it is called, more sophistically, the “Paleolithic Diet”.
