yesterday since both mc61 and i had taken the day off, we picked a recipe and went to town. irish beef stew. alterations: recipe calls for lamb we just used beef cuz that's what we had available...and even though it called for one can of guinness, mc61 decided what it really meant was a big, huge, more than a measly can, bottle of G! either way it was quite delish.
tonight we're making sheppard's pie. i'm not sure if we'll be following the exact recipe only because i don't think we have breadcrumbs or parmesan for the bread crumb topping. and seeing that we made this a few weeks ago, before i even got the book, we know that cream corn might be a nicer addition than just regula' ole corn.
(and notice it sorta matches my tablecloth!)
if you aren't a fan of beef or lamb there's a chicken with sweet potato topping version of the sheppard's pie.
as for other inspirations i spied: shrimp etoufee, jamaican jerk chicken (no way can ja'mak-a-mistake with that!), cajun cassoulet, pulled pork...why even the smoked salmon mousse looks sooo gouda!
