Beef Stroganoff Revelation

Okay, so I haven't had beef stroganoff since staying overnight at Laura and Ed's place when I was 14 years old and they took me to The X.... Probably because Mom and Dad guilted them into doing it for some reason. In any case, I got sick and threw it up all over their spare bedroom bed, rug, hallway, hallway rug, bathroom, and all fixtures in said bathroom. It was nasty. No, I'm serious.

Anyway, I feel that 22 years later, I'm finally ready to go down that road, but do it right. I made the beef stroganoff we ate on that fateful vomit fueled evening, but I think I'd choose to do my take on the classic again, instead of following that recipe that has long been blocked out for obvious reasons.

I'm going to revisit the stroganoff. I feel I'm ready. I'll report back when I take the plunge.

Comments with recipe suggestions welcome. Yes sisters, I'm talking to you.

  1. If anyone can help you get past your stroganophobia, it's Jamie. Although venison may be a bit much for your first foray, you could conjure up a variation of this:

    Hey, maybe you could make it with lamb! :-D
