Tim is half Irish, thanks to his mom. For the last 30 years, I have tried to make a nice Irish meal for the family on On St. Patrick's Day. Luckily for Tim, he'll get two Irish meals this year because St. Patty's day will be celebrated on Saturday and on Monday, at least in this house. On Saturday night we started out with a nice salad followed by Maggie Kerrigan's Beef Stew with a slice of Irish soda bread. For dessert we had Dicey Reilly's Apple cake sprinkled with some Irish whiskey. All these recipes were found in the cookbook, Elegant Irish Cooking, a collection of recipes by the world's foremost Irish chefs. Oops, can't forget our beverage was Guinness. Monday's menu will be a corn beef roast cooked in Guinness, cooked all day in the slow cooker. The last hour we will add the traditional potatoes and cabbage. Dessert this meal with be a Irish Whiskey cake.
All recipes can be found on my recipe blog.

Oh Jackie - No fair that you get two Irish meals!!! We celebrated here on Monday with friends and neighbors. I made two corned beefs in Guiness that I baked for three hours - so tender and delicious! I depart every year from making the meat with potatoes and cabbage - I make Fried Cabbage with bacon and onions - to die for, that's for sure!! Just not the healthiest option. Oh well, once a year can't be that bad! ~Toby~
