Oatmeal Stout Stew Named after legend Rube Waddell, the eccentric baseball pitcher with a wicked curveball and a blazing fastball, Waddell’s is a great South Hill destination for brews and award-winning food. Along with the outstanding beer selection, their food is also making a name for itself—the best burgers in town, Reuben sandwiches, handdipped fish-n-chips, and the list goes on. They invite you to come and try some of their mouthwatering specials.

Sachet d’épices:

1 8x8-inch piece of cheesecloth 1 cinnamon stick 3 whole cloves 6 whole black peppercorns 2 bay leaves 2 fresh sprigs of thyme

1. Place all the spices in the center of the cheesecloth and fold up to make a small pouch, twist and tie with a piece of butchers twine long enough to tie around the sachet and then to the handle of the pot. Set aside.

2. Cook bacon in an 8-qt. stew pot over medium heat until crispy, stirring often.

Stew:

4 slices of bacon, finely chopped 1 (2-lb.) flank steak or brisket, cut into ½-inch cubes 1⁄4 C. tomato paste 3⁄4 C. all-purpose flour 11 C. beef broth, warmed 3 C. of stout beer, at room temp 4 C. baby red potatoes, ½-inch dice 4 medium carrots, ½-inch dice 1 large white onion, ½-inch dice 3 stalks of celery, ½-inch dice 2 C. fresh sugar peas (or frozen) 4 garlic cloves, minced 2 Tbsp sugar 1 tsp red pepper flakes Tabasco sauce, to taste (optional) salt and pepper, to taste 2 C. grated havarti cheese

3. Add the beef and cook, stirring often, about 25 minutes.

4. Add tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Add flour to make a roux and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.

5. Slowly add the beef broth to the roux, stirring constantly; turn the heat to low and cook for about 10 minutes to cook off the starch in the flour.

6. Add the beer and simmer for 20 minutes.

7. Add the red potatoes and cook for 5 minutes. Add the carrots, cook for 5 minutes.

Add the onion, cook for 5 minutes. Add the celery, cook for 5 minutes, and add the fresh peas, cook for 5 minutes (if using frozen peas, add at the end of cooking). Finally, add the minced garlic.

8. Place the sachet d’épices into the pot and tie the twine to the handle of the pot.

Simmer the stew uncovered, for 30–45 minutes, until all vegetables and meat are tender and stew is thickened. (Add frozen peas at this point, if using.)

9. Season the stew with the sugar, red pepper flakes, Tabasco sauce (optional), and salt and pepper. Ladle stew into bowls, sprinkle with grated havarti cheese and serve with warm rustic bread.

Waddell’s Pub & Grill is located in the South Hill of Spokane at 4318 South Regal Street www.waddellspubandgrill.com 4

Business

SPOTLIGHT Get that Sun Kissed Glow of Summer

here is just nothing more exciting T when a local woman takes over an existing business and infuses it with

new and exciting energy!

At Metro Woman we cannot help getting excited to see young women entrepreneurs and love helping them grow. We recently met Ileia Perry of Tropical Tan, a young woman who grew up in the Hillyard area of Spokane and is proud of her roots. Desiring to support her local community, Ileia purchased Tropical Tan and is transforming it with new machines, new products, and a sincere focus on her customer’s individual needs.

Tanning is so much more than just tanning beds these days. One of the features she has is sunless tanning and Ileia is happy to share her wealth of knowledge with us.

She uses Norvell Sunless products in her salon. “It’s not just a tan, it’s a healthy skin treatment that firms the skin and reduces the appearance of find lines and wrinkles. The antioxidant blend in the Norvell solutions combats daily skin damage.” Made in the USA, Novell formulas are paraben free, gluten free, nut allergen free, vegan, and use only Eco-Cert DHA. Sounds pretty healthy to us!

Sunless tanning is a beautiful cosmetic effect created from a simple carbohydrate derived from plant sources like sugar beets and sugar cane, and by fermenting glycerin. It does not make skin darker in pigmentation but rather interacts with the proteins and amino acids along with oxygen found 6

SMW Jan14.indd 6

in the top layer of the skin to create a darkening effect. The action is similar to an apple turning brown once it has been cut open and exposed to the air.

It is important to note that it does not contain any SPF and therefore does not protect against UV rays.

Spraying on by hand, Ileia follows the recommended guidelines for application of externally applied cosmetics. There are several steps involved in getting the best result and longest life from your sunless tan, and Ileia works closely with you to achieve the best result. To learn more about the steps involved, visit our web page where we outline the details provided by Ileia to get a beautiful spray tan.

Ileia Perry is newly married and raising two children, Tristan 17 (step-son) and Gavin 5. A lifelong resident of Spokane, she is happy to raise her family here. Prior to opening the salon, she had worked in the medical industry for 12 years.

Tropical Tan is located at 1225 E. Francis, Spokane. Please visit their website for more information www.tropicaltanspokane.com.

Control the Clutter with Drop Zones After returning home from a long day at work, a weekend soccer tournament or an all-day shopping excursion, it’s natural to want to drop everything and relax.

However, literally dropping everything can cause a tremendous amount of clutter in the home, leading to stress, misplaced items and wasted time. To eliminate the clutter that busy lifestyles create, try establishing designated drop zones throughout your house to regain a sense of order.

Don’t worry, you can still drop everything and relax when you come home – just drop everything in the right spot.

Entryway

Living Room

As the first and last access point of your home, a lot of activity occurs here. Coats, scarves, hats and bags are dropped everywhere, while dirty shoes are kicked off and left behind. Basically, the entrance to your home can become a minefield.

To control unruly entryway clutter, try creating a drop zone near the door. The addition of a coat rack or hooks make it easy to hang up outerwear, while a storage bench, like ClosetMaid’s 3-Cube Bench, is a convenient place to take off shoes and neatly stow them away.

Don’t let relaxation be delayed because of disorganization. Depending on the size of your living room and how you use the space, you may need to establish several drop zones. For example, a coffee table tray or basket is ideal for storing remotes and chargers. Add storage cubes with bins as a convenient place to store and hide laptop cords, tablets, gaming equipment and children’s toys. Consider labeling a bin for each family member to “drop” or stow their stuff.

Kitchen Since the kitchen is the heart of the home, many family members congregate here. Establish a corner of the kitchen counter to drop lunch boxes, bottles and coffee mugs used throughout the day. To prevent a pile-up of papers and misplaced items, set up a command center with enough space to file mail and bills and store your keys and other small essentials.

Bedroom To clear clothing clutter, use a valet rod to hang up tomorrow’s outfit or clothes that need to be taken to the tailor or dry cleaner. Additionally, try designating a dresser drawer as a drop zone for jewelry, watches, your wallet or other valuables.

Make it a habit to use your strategically placed drop zones and your house will be organized and clutter free in no time.
