Amazingly Easy Irish Soda Bread
Okay recipe, but doesn't quite capture the essence of a true Irish Soda Bread. Tasted a lot like a Bisquick loaf to me, although it looked nice. I'm going to keep looking for a more authentic recipe.

Original Irish Cream
YUM! I used 2 cups of whole milk, 1 can sweetened condensed milk, cut the almond extract in half, a touch more whiskey, doubled the chocolate, vanilla and coffee, and it came out great! Easy to tweak if you prefer a little more of less of any of the flavors. I'll never buy Bailey's in the bottle again!

Irish Lamb Stew
Wow -- delicious! I modified slightly -- substituted a bottle of Guinness Extra Stout for the wine, decreased meat to 4 lbs., used only 1 lb. of bacon, and doubled the carrots and potatoes. I could not find boneless lamb shoulder, so bought 7 lbs. of bone-in, then trimmed the meat off the bone and also trimmed off the fat. Let the stew simmer for an extra hour on low heat, then thickende with 2 Tablespoons of cornstarch. Came out great! Nice consistency. The lamb was melt-in-your-mouth tender -- I will definitely stick with the shoulder meat. The veggies softened but still held their shape well. A definite winner!
