Daylight Savings Stew

Daylight Savings Time. Why does it exist? I don't like it. It always takes me like a week to get around to resetting clocks, so several times a day I get temporally disoriented.

The above photo doesn't look particularly appetizing, does it? The stew tastes pretty good, though, promise. I should have let the vegetables simmer a bit before adding the lentils.

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 Satina potatoes, cubed
