Eh, I thought it was a good base... I added 1/2 a cup of milk to the "stew" part, because I like it creamy... I think I may have ruined it by using whole wheat bread flour... I'll try it next time with white flour & see if it comes out better. I'd give it a 3.5, but it won't let me, so 3 it is. - 1/8/10
