Stovies a simple but classic Scottish dish that you cannot live without if you are a true Scot which apparently I am because I will not longer be able to live without it. Basically stovies consists of tatties (potatoes for the non Scots out there), onions, and meat. The meat that was traditionally used in the old days was whatever you had leftover from your Sunday dinner, such as lamb, beef or mutton.Scottish Stovies are/is (it really isn't plural) amazing. The pot roast on Saturday was mediocre at best. I tried to rush it as I did not get home until 4 pm. You can not rush pot roast. Maybe that should be my tip of the week LOL. It was turned into this wonderful mouth watering tender, flavorful, I'm sure it's not illegal dish. The aroma was out of this world. It did not look like would have enough to fill up my two hungry men (well 1 man and 1 teenager). Seconds were not needed though. It is very satisfying. This was four thumbs up (there are only 4 of us or I would give it more). It is one of the simplest meals that I have ever made and one of the most scrumptious.  I linked a video on facebook Around The World With Food – http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=333008371450

 

 

Ingredients:

4 tablespoons butter or lard (I used butter –  REAL butter)

2 medium to large onions finely chopped

2 pounds potatoes (which should peeled and cut into slices of various sizes no need to be neat)

Carrots chopped

Leftover pot roast (I used 5 good size slices but whatever you have will work)

Salt and black pepper (generous amount – I did a half a palm full)

Beef stock and 1/2 cup or water or what I did was add
Jar of chicken gravy (I don't care for the beef flavored ones) with a packet of beef bullion mixed in and I added the water so that it could boil

Directions:

You will need a large heavy based pan with lid.

Put the butter into the pan and allow to become smoking hot and add the onions until translucent.

Add the sliced potatoes and carrots Cover the pot and cook for approximately 10 minutes, stirring regulary to prevent sticking.

Add the gravy, meat, salt & pepper and mix well. Again, cover the pot and cook SLOWLY until the thin potatoes are mushy and the thicker ones soft…approx. 30 – 60 minutes should be sufficient  Mine was 45 minutes. You should only stir it once or twice during this time – don't let out the flavors.

The dish can be garnished with parsley and served with oatcakes and a glass of milk.

  38. There are no averages. People are secard. The same panic to buy is driving a panic to sell.Many people paid way too much for properties. Others financed the properties to the hilt. If they sell, today, they will save the holding cost of the property.The problem is that people need to sell for high prices or short sale the property.That’s much different than a normal buyer or seller market place. Who’s going to over pay for a property today?Those high priced properties, in a declining market, are just wishful thinking. In a shrinking buyer pool the real inventory of properties, or choices a buyer has, is much smaller.Calling absorbation rate is assuming all things are equal, there not, or we wouldn’t be here.

  39. Thanks for using the condo data for downtown Tim. I still think that there is more than dlobue what is shown due to the fact that the numbers are derived from MLS data and doesn’t include the ungodly amount of units that are under construction but need to be sold or turned into rentals after the flippers bail out, realizing that the loss of their deposit would be much less than the carrying costs while trying to get their overpriced faux luxury box in the sky sold.I’d say that holds true for condos most anywhere in the city as far as I am concerned.
