A little while ago, we had the most delicious dinner with our dear friends (and uber-talented people) Erin and Justin. Not only can Justin cook – and cook really well (he made this amazing stew), he is also a talented Montreal artist. Oh, and my friend Erin, well she’s in a band called Nightwood. She sings and plays guitar. Need I say more? By association alone, I feel just a little bit cooler. You should check them both out. And you should make this stew. Comfort food at it’s very best.
Did I mention the two sticks of butter?
