My Irish Shindig

We celebrated St. Patrick’s Day early at our house, and celebrated it yesterday, instead of today, though we will be celebrating again today as well. I cooked up a big Irish feast, using a lot of recipes from my Irish cookbooks. Yes, I have quite a bit of Irish in me, as well as Scottish and Welsh and just about everything else Northern European too.

All of my recipes came from some of my many Irish cookbooks. The menu for the day was:

  1. Guinness Stew
  2. Smoked Corned Beef
  3. Cod in a cream sauce
  4. Roasted cabbage
  5. Mashed potatoes
  6. Roasted vegetable salad with a lemon vinaigrette
  7. Artichoke hearts and asparagus in a tarragon cream sauce
  8. Potato yeast rolls Irish Potato Yeast Rolls
  9. Cherry Chocolate Florentine fingers Chocolate Cherry Florentine Fingers
  10. Pineapple cake, made by Lauren

and a chocolate Guinness cake, made by Priscilla.

It was indeed a feast, shared with good friends, good food, good conversations and good laughs. I’d say we celebrated the day just how it was supposed to be celebrated. My Irish and Celtic ancestors would be proud.

Don’t worry. You will get all the recipes for everything. I just like to space things out a bit. You know, create a little anticipation. All in good time. 🙂

Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe, don’t drink too much green beer, and stay well. ‘Til next time.
