Happy St. Patrick's Day

*Voltron* · 03-16-2004, 02:31 PM

St. Patrick's Day is a day when everyone is Irish. This is well and good but what of the people of the world who aren't Irish at all and have to go back to their mundane unIrish lives after that sweet twenty-four hour period?

I think we should have off the whole week, no the []iyear[/i] off for St. Patrick's Day in honor of the Irish everywhere (because we're just that great). Instead, I can celebrate my heritage by purchasing a mint milkshake at McDonald's. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go prove to my friend Seamus that I can down a whole keg in half an hour.

Too ra loo ra loo ra!

St Patrick's Day is to hooligans, as Halloween is to... creepy anemic goth kids. My day has come!

I'm trying to procure the Holy Trinity of Stouts (Guinness, Beamish and Murphy's) for this auspicious occasion, but I'm sh*te out of luck. Hell, I went on a Beer Run of Epic Proportions™ to Luxembourg/Belgium/France, just for some decent lambics. Alas.

I'm Irish with a splash of french.

Does anyone else have plans for tomorrow? Do you make something special on that day or do ya just wing it?

Myself, every year on St. Patrick's day I make my annual Irish Chicken and Dumpling stew. It's been a hit with the hubby and friends/guests. They (and I) have daydreamed about it since and look forward to it every year.
The recipe is simple really, I found it on the internet and after I ate it, I decided it was so damn good, it would be a tradition for me to make it every St Paddy's day.
It's the ultimate comfort food.
Here's the stew recipe:

2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
3 cups water
1 cup chopped celery
2 onions, quartered
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
5 carrots, sliced
1 (10 ounce) package frozen green peas
4 potatoes, quartered
3 cups baking mix
1 1/3 cups milk

1. In large, heavy pot, combine soup, water, chicken, celery, onion, salt, poultry seasoning, and pepper. Cover and cook over low heat about 1 1/2 hours.

2. Add potatoes and carrots; cover and cook another 30 minutes.

3. Remove chicken from pot, shred it, and return to pot. Add peas and cook only 5 minutes longer.

4. Add dumplings. To make dumplings: Mix baking mix and milk until a soft dough forms. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto BOILING stew. Simmer covered for 10 minutes, then uncover and simmer an additional 10 minutes.
Makes 4-6 servings

I highly recommend people try making it!
It's really simple and sooooo yummy. Makes the house smell like heaven!
