Last night's dinner was an Irish favorite - beef braised in Guinness. (Signora V. is Irish-American) You'll find this on the menu in just about any Irish restaurant or pub that serves food. I have to say that ours is a bit better (IMO) because I more than doubled the Guinness. Otherwise I think it comes off tasting too close to a traditional American beef stew. This way, you really taste the Guinness.

And to hoodlum or anyone else who would like our recipes, if I have it on file I'll be glad to provide it. My files and notes are pretty extensive, though I have been known to improvise when the mood strikes. smile

Thanks, folks, for the kind words!
