Snow White's Venison Stew

Last night I made venison stew for dinner. The girls were less than enthusiastic until I explained that the recipe was given to me by Snow White. Remember when she makes stew for the dwarfs? Well, she passed her delicious recipe along to me...and Eleanor and Josephine gobbled up every last bite.

That's not really lying is it?
