The fact that David won't eat corned beef (or other things) was just an aside, NOT a complaint. Clearly, a lot of you folks have nothing better to do than criticize habits and personal lifestyles. Too bad I can't just erase the whole damned thread.

I'm losing all the flavor of the cooking water and a lot of nutrients. I like beef soups and stews to taste like beef. The richer the better. I also like the vegetables and barley to be done to my liking without adding assorted items to the beef stock at assorted times. So I cook vegetables and barley individually. If noodles are involved, I do toss them in the beef stock without precooking. As is normal with all this type of stuff. The meal is better the second day. leo |
