The stew was amazing, with a lot of broth to give it a thick soup-like quality. I had mushrooms and chicken broth in the freezer to add to it and I poured in a lot of red wine, so it was almost like a stroganoff but without the sour cream. (You can add chicken or turkey broth to a beef dish and it still tastes like beef, but don't try to add beef broth to poultry dishes.)

I've found information about resetting the laptop power management for the screen, I'll do that in the morning. I spent time sewing this evening but stopped to clean lint out of the machine and since it has been a while it took me longer than usual to remember how to reassemble the bobbin housing. It's good to go now.
