Not stew but there is definitely a mix of stuff. But you're on the right trail, in a way.

The Gua makes me want to say its the makings of guacamole, but if so, it's not like any I've had, and someones' already been down that road anyway.

for some reason we always thing that we are different today. Images like what you guys have posted certainly proves that line of thinking wrong. Daphne is stunning with her glowing smile! Great grandfather is fiery. Old Tam was evidently quite a character. He claimed to be too old to fight for the ...

I hear three ways is more fun. I wouldn't know. I'll leave that for the younger generation.
