Most of you have heard of New England Boiled Dinner. It's a feast in a pot, with potatoes, carrots, beef or venison (at least in our house), onion, cabbage, garlic, and salt and pepper, all swimming in a perfectly seasoned broth. It resembles a soup, but I think is classified as a stew. In any case, it's a staple east of the Mississippi. But what if you take all of those same ingredients, and cook them in a saute' pan, then mix together with some butter, and serve it on a plate instead of a bowl. Then it's more like a hash, but tastes too good to be called that. So, if you enjoy creating a bit of good-natured mischief with your family, just call it dinner. When they ask, "What's for dinner?" Answer them correctly and just say dinner. After all, it is boiled dinner without the boiling part. They'll pester you for a little time while you smile at your private joke. After you've got them going just a bit crazy, you can explain it if you wish. Who knows, they just might like the idea of calling this particular dish "dinner". Then they can use it to confuse their friends and future families. And besides, this meal tastes great.
