• Today in History - 1929

    29 October 1929 - THE GREAT DEPRESSION BEGINS WITH A TERRIBLE CRASH:
    Panic has gripped Wall Street since October 24, and now the bottom has
    fallen out, as market losses rise to $30 billion. The unparalleled crash
    ends a bull market riding high on 1920s optimism and ushers in what
    will be a worldwide, and decade-long, Great Depression.

    Title: Poor Man's Stroganoff
    Categories: Beef, Wine, Dairy
    Yield: 4 Servings

    1 lb Ground beef
    1 sm Onion; chopped
    8 Fresh mushrooms; quartered
    10 3/4 oz Can cream of mushroom soup
    1/4 c Inexpensive dry white wine
    4 oz Dairy sour cream
    Salt & pepper

    Crumble the ground beef into a frying pan. Cook the beef
    over medium heat until about half done. Add the onion and
    mushrooms, and cook, stirring frequently, until the meat
    is done, and the onions are transparent. Stir in the
    mushroom soup and wine, and cook, stirring occasionally
    for about 30 minutes. Add the sour cream, stir to combine,
    and re-heat gently.

    Do NOT allow the mixture to boil after the sour cream has
    been added.

    Serve over cooked noodles or rice.

    This recipe should serve 4 people, but I wouldn't count on it.

    If you're making it just for you, it freezes successfully,
    if you don't add the sour cream to the portion you are
    freezing. Instead, defrost when needed, re-heat, and add
    the sour cream at the last minute.

    garage where they line up seven members of rival gangster Bugs Moran's
    "Irish Mafia" and kill them execution-style in a hail of bullets. The
    hit will become a press sensation and redouble efforts by authorities to
    bring Capone's crime reign to an end.
