If at first you don't succeed, try, try, again. Then quit. There's no use in being a damn fool about it.
Here's something different for today's photograph: an Irish stew I made a few weeks back.
Modesty prevents me from waxing too lyrical about it's excellent taste. I can, however, share with you a little secret in the cooking. Half the amount of water or stock you put in, and double the amount of stout! I use Cascade Stout, a fine, creamy brew with a hint of chocolate about it.
Just the tonic for a shocking winter.

Other stouts better than Guinness: Coopers Best Extra Stout; Black Bart Stout; Grumpy’s Heysen Scottish Oatmeal Stout; Mountain Goat Surefoot Stout; Paddy's Head Stout; Moo Brew Imperial Stout; and indeed Russian Imperial Stout.
Isn't there any way we could share food over the Internet? We need to find a way soon :-))
You should start a food blog as I have one ;)
An Irish stew from a Tasmanian (?) man!
I had a very disappointing pint of Guinness last week (it's usually my beer of choice, as I prefer stout to the rest and it's often the only stout on offer). I sent the first pint back as I thought they'd given me a pint of Coke, then the second one arrived with about a millimetre of head rapidly disappearing. Ugh.
Have no fear, I know what happens when you cook the alcohol off.
I however didn't know that you are quite the expert on all things stout. Sample one or two have we?
