	Hello My Friends, Since St. Patrick's Day is fast approaching, it seems only fitting that we should have a Pot of Irish Stew, and I figured that it might as well be a Crockpot... Irish Stew Ingredients: 1 pound lamb or lean mutton cubes 1 pound carrots, diced 1 pound onions, chopped 1 pound potatoes, diced salt and pepper 1/4 teaspoon thyme Preparation: Place lamb with thyme in saucepan and add cold water to cover. Bring slowly to the boil and simmer for one hour. Add onions, potatoes, carrots. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue cooking until vegetables are tender. Adjust seasoning. May be served alone or with cooked green cabbage or sprouts. Have A Happy St Patick's Day, Phil

	Irish Soda Bread with a Citrus Twist ~ Traditionally served on St. Patrick's Day alongside corned beef and cabbage, Irish soda bread is great any time of the year. Enjoy this version toasted and served with jam for breakfast, or as a side for hearty soups and stews at lunch or dinner. rated by 22 members average rating great what do you think? rate it Total Time : 1 hour 5 minutes Prep Time : 15 minutes Cook Time : 40 minutes Servings : 10 ingredients 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup whole-wheat flour 1/3 cup sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 Tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup butter or margarine, chilled and cut into 1/4-inch pieces 1/2 cup chopped walnuts 1/4 cup golden raisins 1/4 cup dark raisins 2 teaspoons grated orange zest 1 1/2 cups plus 2 Tablespoons low-fat buttermilk 1 egg, beaten directions step 1Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. step 2In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose and whole-wheat flours, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt until evenly combined. Add the butter pieces. Using clean fingertips or a pastry cutter, rub the butter pieces into the mixture until it forms coarse crumbs. Then add in the walnuts, both types of raisins and the orange zest; mix to distribute evenly. step 3Gradually stir in 1 1/2 cups of buttermilk and the beaten egg. With your hands, knead the dough in the bowl until it just comes together and all ingredients are evenly combined. Form the dough into a round (see Chef’s Note) and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the round all over with the remaining 2 Tablespoons of buttermilk. Use a sharp knife to cut an "x" into the top of the round. step 4Bake in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until nicely browned and a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, plain or with a bit of jam or butter. chef's notes To form the dough into a round, gather it into a ball, place it in the center of the baking sheet, and press down to flatten the top slightly into a thick disk. Zest is the grated peel of a citrus fruit. The fragrant oil in the zest adds flavor to your recipes. To grate orange zest, remove any stickers from your orange and then wash and dry it. Using a medium-fine kitchen grater, grate just the colored peel of the orange, using a bowl or piece of wax paper to catch the zest. Avoid grating the white pith of the orange because this part tastes bitter.

	Hello My Friends, Well, Linda, I'm going to blame this one on you. You mentioned Pumpkin over at Donna's Forum, and the fact that you liked it all year round and not just at Thanksgiving. Well, so do I, so here's a little something you can whip up in your Crockpot any old time. Pumpkin Cranberry Custard Ingredients: 1 can (30 ounces) pumpkin pie filling 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk 1 cup dried cranberries 4 eggs, beaten 1 cup crushed or whole ginger snap cookies (optional) Whipped cream (optional) Combine pumpkin, evaporated milk, cranberries and eggs in crock pot slow cooker; mix thoroughly. Cover, cook on HIGH for 4 to 4 1/2 hours or until done. Serve with crushed or whole ginger snaps and whipped cream. Have A Terrific Evening My Friends, Phil
