Normally I only think of making Beef Strogenoff in the winter---there is something that marries well with cold weather. The first time I had Beef Strogenoff was on a weekend ski trip to Mt Snow in Vermont in 1963. The dinner paired perfectly with the day.
But---these are strange times we live in and I decided a dose of comfort food was in order.

"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity, an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty” ---Sir Winston Churchill "Political extremism involves two prime ingredients: an excessively simple diagnosis of the world's ills, and a conviction that there are identifiable villains back of it all." ---John W. Gardner “You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” ---C. S. Lewis
