Best recipe in the world

This is the secret recipe for one of the most amazing potato, onion, cabbage stews I have ever had.
Ingredients
- Onions
- Potatoes
- Garlic
- Cabbage
- A little water
- Olive or sesame oil
- Dutch oven
- Space to make a fire pit
- Wood to make a fire
- Someone you love to share it with
Directions
- First, quit your job. With the freedom you gain through unemployment, move out of the city.
- With the money you save by not paying big-city rent, take your time before finding your next job. Pick a job that makes you happy regardless of how much it pays - remember, most of the money you made in your big city job went to pay for the "opportunity" to have that big city job.
- Spend some time getting to know the locals - relationships are worth so much more than money, so don't view an hour chatting with the neighbor about how great the latest Tom Cruise movie was as "time wasted".
- Have a strong vision of the type of place you want to live, but don't be too stubborn. Flexibility pays and you will eventually find exactly what you are (or should have been) looking for.
- Once you have a place to crash, a job to pay some basic bills.. chill out and relax. If you happen to find the time, buy, borrow, or beg yourself a dutch oven.
- Wait for a cool night (knowing how hot it is in the city doubles the satisfaction of the experience). If the sky is clear enjoy the stars and moon. If it is hazy, enjoy the mystique. If its raining, take off all you clothes and dance a bit.
- Find some stones to make a fire pit and some old, unused wood to make a fire
- The easiest and most inconsequential part is cutting and mixing the veggies into the dutch oven. If everything else is in order, even raw potatoes will taste like heaven.


Comments
I like directions 1-4 the best, followed them already. Will introduce the dutch pan potatoes to newfound norwegian and japanese friends. Been using MfoP2 for a long while, never got round to say thanks for that - would like to do so now :)

@Chris

I read this interesting article which argues that living in cities is good for the environment. What do you think?
