I think I know what went wrong, Walk... you said you added the noodles the last fifteen or twenty minutes (the first time you made the stew)... and they tasted fine. That surprises me actually as one should only cook noodles prox 7 minutes or so...depending on the thickness.
How long did you cook them the second time around??
