Kettle Goulash - A Brian L. Porter Dish

4 tablespoons Bacon Fat
Green Onions sliced thin with tops
1 Green Pepper, cut into strips
3 cloves Garlic, minced
1 1/2 tablespoon Hungarian Paprika
3 pounds Stewing Beef, cut up a rump roast or any boneless roast
Pepper to taste
Salt to taste
6 ounces can Tomato Paste
1 cup Sour Cream

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Heat fat in deep heavy pot. Cook onions, peppers and garlic until onions are limp and transparent. Add paprika and continue cooking until paprika has lost it's raw taste, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add beef and remaining ingredients except sour cream. Stir well to combine. Simmer in preheated oven for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until meat is very tender. Adjust oven temperature during cooking time so contents of pot remain simmering. Serve in shallow bowls over hot buttered noodles with a dollop of sour cream on top. Serve remaining sour cream at table for people who want more.

NOTE: do not use regular paprika. Be sure and buy Sweet Paprika or Hungarian Paprika. Regular paprika is hot and would make this dish taste bad.

Dracula Doesn’t Live Here Anymore – Review by Martha A. Cheves, Author of Stir, Laugh, Repeat
 
“Look at me Dexter, look at my eyes.”  He did as she asked, and for the first time, he noticed the redness.  Her eyes were like two ruby red pools and they were growing deeper with every passing second.  She moved closer to him, took his hand in hers for the first time, and he was aware instantly of an energy, a sort of electricity flowing between them.
Brian L. Porter has done it again and I have to admit that he really messed with my mind in his short story Dracula Doesn’t Live Here Anymore.  The two main characters, Dexter and Christina are both investigative reporters, attempting to uncover  the truth regarding the deaths of five people in Dracula country.  All victims have been completely drained of their blood.   Vampires?  A “Crazy” at large?  I think you will be as surprised as I was when you discover the answer to that question.
