Organization / reminders / to-do / project-planning web site?

[cjsmith]

I just signed up with Backpackit, and while setting up my pages I got goose bumps.

I had done this before. No, not at this site. At another one. There are to do lists and organizational tools there as well. I can remember putting some stuff on a to do list. I can remember thinking that it could one day become a very helpful setup for me.

Now I can't find it. It's orphaned, a free account on some random helpful web site somewhere.

Anyone know of web sites like that? Heck, how about good Google search terms?

edit: FOUND IT!!! Remember the Milk.

Well, you can do the above with the stew beef if you want.

or, here's a likely looking recipe from a random web site, and afterwards, how I would modify it for a crockpot:



Helen's Stout Stew
2 lbs stewing beef (1" cubes)
1 large onion, minced
5-6 carrots cut in 1" cubes
4-5 medium potatoes, quartered
salt, pepper, oregano, thyme to taste
6 oz. stout or dark beer
2 cans beef broth
(or 3 cups homemade beef broth)

In a fry pan or Dutch oven, gently brown stew beef in a little oil. Add onions and continue to cook 2-3 minutes more until they are slightly cooked. Add broth, spices, and stout. Bring to a boil then put in 350° oven to cook for about 1 hour. Add carrots and potatoes and cook for another 30-45 minutes until vegetables and meat pieces are tender.


I would follow the instructions through cooking the onions, then dump the contents of the pan into the crockpot along with the rest of the ingredients.

a note on browning meat: it took me way, way too long to learn that "brown" doesn't mean "cook until it turns gray on the surface, that's long enough". Brown really does mean brown, and it develops the flavor in ways that your crockpot can't. For extra geekiness, google "Maillard reaction" and enjoy. :-)

oregano and thyme "to taste". For 2 lbs of each, try a (measuring!) teaspoon of oregano, and half a teaspoon of thyme. Rosemary is also good with beef.

Obviously, you can skip the beer if it's not something you have lying around the house...

2 lbs of each

Er, make that 2 lbs of MEAT. Too much studying is bad for the brain.
