St. Patrick's Day

Savory Irish Cheddar Shortbread Bars

March 14, 2021 by The Runaway Spoon 1 Comment

I’m posting these delicious cheddar shortbread bars in time for St. Patrick’s Day, because I think the parsley has a festive look of shamrocks. The frilly leaves bake right onto the top of the shortbread. Also, they are really good with a glass of beer! In fact, these crumbly cheese bites are a perfect pre-dinner snack or a side for any cocktail. They would also be perfect … [Read more...] about Savory Irish Cheddar Shortbread Bars

Beef and Stout Stew with Blue Cheese Dumplings

March 7, 2021 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

We are in that in between time weatherwise right now. We’ve just had historic snow here in Memphis, but the first signs of spring are popping up. All the sweaters and coats I wore just a week ago are ready to go back in the closet. I have been socially distancing on my patio all winter, but now it’s time for a spring clean and I am looking forward to lazy cocktails and light … [Read more...] about Beef and Stout Stew with Blue Cheese Dumplings

Irish Bangers and Mash with Guinness Onion Gravy

March 8, 2020 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

The mash part is pretty obvious (mashed potatoes). Bangers are sausages, and the term supposedly comes from a time when cheap sausages would explode in a hot pan making a bang. I love a good plate of bangers and … [Read more...] about Irish Bangers and Mash with Guinness Onion Gravy

Dublin Lawyer (Shrimp in Irish Whiskey Cream Sauce)

I absolutely discovered this dish because of the name. I first saw it on a pub menu in London and had to ask. After it was described, my dining companion switched his order to it and we both relished bites. But I had to know where the name came from, so I soon set out to do some research. This was many years ago and the internet was not quite so helpful, but eventually I … [Read more...] about Dublin Lawyer (Shrimp in Irish Whiskey Cream Sauce)

Guinness Caramel Sauce or Caramel Chews

March 11, 2018 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

This starts as a tale of failure. I set out to make a rich, Guinness-laced caramel sauce to drizzle over ice cream. In my first attempt, I dropped the ball, got distracted and cooked the caramel little longer than needed. But as the caramel was setting up, I thought perhaps I could save the day by pouring the thick caramel into a pan to see what happened. What happened was … [Read more...] about Guinness Caramel Sauce or Caramel Chews

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
