When women are depressed, they either eat or go shopping. Men invade another country. It's a whole different way of thinking. |

"Americans, more than any other culture on earth, are cookbook cooks; we learn to make our meals not from any oral tradition, but from a text. The just-wed cook brings to the new household no carefully copied collection of the family's cherished recipes, but a spanking new edition of ‘Fannie Farmer’ or ‘The Joy of Cooking’." |
| John Thorne, American food writer |

Thinly slice cooked, roast beef and place in a Dutch oven (or put it
back into the same pan in which the beef was roasted). Add enough water
to cover. Add remaining ingredients and bring to simmer. After the beef
has cooked for awhile, taste and adjust seasonings. Cook about 1 hour.
Serve on sliced Italian bread with grilled green peppers. Don't forget to
put a little gravy on bread! Onolicious!
NOTE If you fix a large roast for dinner, take the leftovers, sliced
thinly, and put your Italian Beef on the stove to cook, while you're
cleaning up the kitchen. You can cook the Italian Beef in the same pan
used for roasting. IF you make brown gravy for your roast beef, remove
some of the drippings before you make the gravy and save them for the
Italian Beef.
You won't be sorry! <G> Me ke aloha, Mary
