All is Quiet as we cuddle up with Goulash and a Book for the 10th Day of Christmas

This easy, one-pot meal is perfect for those busy nights as life returns to normal and we welcome in 2024.  It is pure comfort on a cold winter's night.

I was inspired to make this goulash after reading The Spy Coast by Tess Gerritsen.

Now that I am a woman of a certain age, middle age in my mind but a senior citizen in other's minds LOL, I enjoy reading books with protagonists in my age group that are still active, vibrant, and smart.  If genetics plays a part, I still have another 30 years to live and I DO plan to live them.  There are places to go and things to do.

This novel by Tess Gerritsen follows a group of retired CIA agents who thought they were living under the radar in a small rural town in Maine.  When Maggie suddenly has an unexpected visitor who shows up dead in her driveway the following day, she turns to her fellow retired spooks who live in the area for help.  

This is quite the conglomeration of people, all very likeable.  They normally get together to enjoy food, drinks, and good company but now they find themselves pulled back into an investigation and a mission to save Maggie's young neighbor who has been taken by the bad guys who want to get to Maggie.

In one of the scenes,  a goat goulash is served to the group who call themselves The Martini Club.  I didn't have any goat in the freezer but I did have venison and was inspired to use some to make this Goulash that I am sharing with you today......
