Honestly, I have to stop working. It's startling to note how I go from full of ideas and energy through the weekend to zero when I have to return to work on Monday.
Of course, the time change Sunday helped not at all.
So on this longest Monday of the year, I leave you with an adorable solution to living in a small space. Even though I live in the land of bigger is better I've always been intrigued by space saving concepts. I used to own a VW Westfalia which managed to fit beds for four adults plus a small fridge, a sink, a two burner stove and a closet within a not very big van. One of the reasons I'm looking forward to having an Ikea locally is because they've long been catering to a population with space issues.

Cincinnati Burgoo
I created this dish one day when I was thinking about making something using only ingredients native to the Americas. I thought it was quite original at the time, but later I found it had more than a passing resemblance to both Kentucky Burgoo and Brunswick Stew. I still quite like my version however and have taken to calling it Cincinnati Burgoo:
1 pound ground turkey
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 whole red chilies, minced
1 large zucchini, sliced
1 pound sweet corn, fresh or frozen
1 pound lima beans, fresh or frozen
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes OR
1 pound fresh tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced
1 cup beef, chicken or vegetable broth
salt and pepper, to taste
Sauté onion and ground turkey in a small amount of vegetable oil until turkey is browned and crumbled. Add the zucchini, garlic and chilies and sauté for about five minutes.
Add the remaining ingredients, cover and simmer until all the vegetables are tender, about 40 minutes.
I realize the onions and garlic aren't native to the Americas, but they add a nice flavor to the dish. Serve up some cornbread on the side.
