Stewed Meat

Last night I made a delicious carne guisada from Robb Walsh's The Tex-Mex Cookbook, which is something every person who can cook and who professes to like Tex-Mex should own.

Anyway, while it was cooking, I called my friends Omid and Amy in Austin. I mentioned to Amy that I was cooking up some carne guisada, and she asked me whether I thought it was possible that I was the only person in Canada cooking carne guisada at that exact moment. I thought for a second and agreed that this was indeed a possibility. It's a pretty regional dish, which means there probably aren't that many people in Canada who even know what it is much less would make it at home.
