Got the first (of many) cups of coffee for the week right next to me. Plus I had a cinnamon raisin English Muffin earlier.

Today I'm making a beef stew with Guinness Extra Stout, potatoes, carrots, celery, parsnips, celery root, diced Italian tomatoes, and rosemary.

I also just think that the combination of Guiness and Rosemary to me equals a sort of soapy metalic taste?
Interesting to hear how it turns out!

Speaking of root vegetables, any salsify fans? Somehow I had never had it, but recently have been served it at many restaurants, so maybe it's gaining popularity. I like it

Nothing wrong with root veg and tomatoes though ... eg Spanish Potatos and many stews and loads of curries use toms to sweeten. But tomatoes with wine .. yes ....... but doesn't sound right with Guinness.

I like a root stew to be earthy and hearty in taste,the tomatoes simply makes this too acidic.
But taste,of course,is subjective.
Guiness and beef stew with rosemary dumplings would appear to be a fairly common recipe - even with tomato puree !

I'm on a bit of a low-carb gig at the moment in order to fit into my budgie-smugglers on an upcoming beach holiday so lunch has been cauliflower,spinach,scallions,garlic,chicken stock and oyster sauce blitzed into a soup with garlic roasted chicken added. Not bad,but horrendously green and there's a big pot of the bugger to plough through now !

Have been craving chicken piccata, so this what's for dinner. Cauliflower in yogurt with garlic and cilantro, salad and fruits to end. Et voila dinner.

I've made it without the rosemary in the past and I find it tastes better with it. I add a little bit of brown sugar to reduce some the bitterness of the Guinness. It's been an awful winter so I've been making it just about every week! I usually eat it with some fresh sourdough bread from the Italian bakery next door.
