    I started out following Annie on twitter because she runs the depths of wikipedia novelty account, and I've been watching the saga of the perpetual stew unfolding.

    it's grown into having its own website with a mailing list and an FAQ and a day-by-day log of its cooking.

    Oh, this is absolutely delightful! It makes me so sorry I'm on the other side of the country and can't participate in Stew Night.

    I do this on a much smaller timescale (3-4 days max) and my wife thinks I'm a crazy caveman.. but it's just the two of us and sometimes we can't finish what we made for dinner, so I add liquid, simmer it and add some more stuff to extend it for a few days until I can finish it off (she won't touch it, even though I tell her it's being simmered and can't spoil). It's almost always more delicious the longer it goes!

    To be honest I don't keep it boiling the entire time.. but I ensure it's boiled for 15 minutes or so at least 3 times per day and the cover stays on during, and whenever it's not being actively simmered. It's a routine in the morning, lunch and evening if that pot has 'stuff' in it I need to finish. I've never gotten sick for the past 5 years or so since I started, so I figure it's OK... (if I miss a re-simmer or it doesn't pass the visual or smell test, yes I compost it.)

    I always think of the big suspended pots in homes and inns in Skyrim :)

      Does it go back into the fridge after you heat it up to have some?

      I also do this! It all started with a pork bone from some ham hocks I ate, boiled it and various spices for hours and just kept adding. A bit of leftover burger here, a handful of rotisserie chicken there, and a steady influx of various veggies.

      Wife won't go near it, but its one of the richest and flavorful things I ever ate, next to pot-au-feu I once had.
