leftover stew & salad

I was planning on making lentil soup last night.  But since we still had Bloody Mary Vegetable Stew leftovers in the refrigerator it just didn't make any sense.

I liked the taste of the stew, but there was something about it I didn't like.  I thought maybe it was the sliced potatoes, so I used my potato masher to mash the potatoes a bit before we ate the stew.  I liked it better that way, but I'm not sure that I'll be making this stew again.  Or if I do, I'll half the recipe so that we don't have leftovers.

To go along with the leftover stew I made a quick broccoli salad.  I like to steam the broccoli just a little bit before making the salad.  For the dressing I mix equal parts mayo and plain yogurt, a bit of finely chopped onion (tonight it was one green onion, white and green parts), small cubes of cheddar cheese, raisins, a bit of sugar, salt, and pepper.  It's a salad that I've always liked and began making it myself not too long ago.
