Tomorrow's Dinner

I'm no beer connoisseur, but I like Guinness more than most.

I’ve never really liked Guinness. Tastes very bland. There was one time that I had a pint with an Irish breakfast that it tasted pretty good, but I don’t know which of the 73 versions it was. For an Irish beer I prefer Smithwick’s.

I've never really liked Guinness, however in Ireland it tasted way better. Whether that was because they knew how to serve it, or it was because it was local, or it was just psychological I don't know.

A guy here who visits the same playground as me with his kids is Irish, and works at an Irish inn about an hour away. He explained that there were plenty of superficial differences but about 8 made a huge difference in taste. Since he dispensed the stuff both there and here I took his word for it.

(He explained them all to me but I was too busy trying to keep my daughter from leaving with another family to remember.)

@George-K you can substitute Jameson.

The whiskey? Instead of the beer?

Hmmm...Would you use 1 ¼ cups?

[LuFins Dad]

I’ve seen recipes that call for both. I think I would use a mushroom broth for half the Guinness amount and half 1/2-3/4 C of whiskey.

I like Guinness Draught. Last fall they came out with Guinness 0. Best near beer I have ever tasted. Had a couple while preparing and having dinner this evening.

[George K]

Cooking right now.

I had some "Goose Island" Lager that I used instead of the Guinness. Spiced it up with some Jameson's. Tasty so far. I'll let you know in a couple of hours.

How is it? I make chicken cooked in Caesar dressing tonight. Meh.

Came out good!

Could have used a bit more salt, but that's easily added. Didn't taste particularly "beer-ey" but it was still flavorful.

Was it anything special? Nah.

One interesting twist, if you watch the video, is that you let the meat brown as it's cooking in the oven. The trick is not to cover it all the way in liquid, and cook in an uncovered Dutch oven.

I make chicken cooked in Caesar dressing tonight. Meh.

Mrs. George would probably approve, LOL. She's the queen of bland.

Had a stressful day today. Dinner will be rack of lamb and asparagus picked today. Wine will flow freely.

Thankfully stressful days have always been few and far between for me.

[LuFins Dad]

Leftovers… Rotisserie chicken and buffalo salmon. Salad, rice.

[Jolly]

Spinach lasagna, green salad and cheese-garlic biscuits.

[Mik]

Omg. This lamb has been in the freezer four years and it still might have been the best I’ve ever had.
