    Hi all,

    Seems the Stew was overboiled last night and things stopped working for a few hours. Not too worry though, I have turned down the temperature, mopped up the mess and things are simmering away nicely again :)

    Was that enough metaphor for you? :)

    Well done Frank, both the metaphor and getting the Stew down from the rolling boil.
    Got so lonely on here and nothing on TV, we went shopping at Half Price Books. Should have stayed home, I really love Half Price Books stores. :rolleyes:

    Thank you Frank.... I wondered what was up. I'm glad it wasn't anything too terrible and all is well again.

    As long as the stew tastes the same. Some stews get ingredients added of subtracted accidentally.

    I noticed it wasn't working last night, so I just went to bed early :rolleyes: I'm well rested today.
    Thanks for fixing everything Frank.

    I'm glad the Stew is back to normal. With all the snow there is nothing better than a warm plate of Stew.

    I'm glad it wasn't to serious and it is back on again.

    Frank, you are a superb stew chef! This is the first time there's been any problem since I joined, and you fixed it fast. Thank you--I'd sure hate to go without my daily dish of Stew.

    I've never played so much online solitaire as last night. I'm sick of it now so happily my favourite website is up and running smoothly again. :D

    Oh dear, I had no idea so much of the secret addictive ingredient was added to the initial Stew recipe!

    I made beef stew for supper last night. But, it was no way as great as GardenStew. I've been here since close to the beginning and look in a couple times a day at least. Thanks for getting it back so quick!
