Personal Notes:
This is my dad's (William Atwell) famous
stew recipe. He placed an advertisement for it in the
classified section of Popular Mechanics Magazine hoping
to make his fortune selling the recipe for $1. He received
one inquiry. His fortune was realized, however, in how
much his family loves this stew. Well worth the time to
make it on a cold winter day.
