No bread, because I realized I must use up my stew beef today

[conuly]

and I'm wary about running the slow cooker at the same time as the oven. Our breakers do not like it if we try to run too many heat-drawing appliances at once, and yes, "call an electrician" is on my list.

This beef stew recipe calls for parsnips and carrots. I do not have parsnips, and am torn between going to the store or just subbing in more carrots and then perhaps subbing in a sweet potato for some of the original carrots.

Speaking of a to-do list, I have to call the doctor a million times today about a million things. Sigh. AND call the gas company and pay a bill. That's even worse, their phone tree is worse now since they fixed it than it was before! (And it was god-awful before. If ever they ask why I wait until I get a shut-off notice to pay, let me assure you, that's the whole reason. It's not quite that dire yet, but all the same, I need to pay up.)
