Braise it in guiness. You can sub parsnips, radishes (awesome in a braise), and/or beets.
Thicken the braising liquid with a little roux, and serve with a wide noodle like tag.
I've done that once before...it was a long time ago. I braised it in a mixture of guiness and ground pretzels. I didn't care for it at all for some reason.
I haven't had parsnips in awhile, I love them. Excellent sub for potatoes.
Try it again without the pretzels. And punch whoever suggested the pretzels in the head. You'll love it.
You can also use turnips or rutebagas if you can't find nice parsnips.
Got the idea from Cuisine mag. They usually have devine recipes, but that one was subpar.
In theory the pretzels make sense. It's sort of a cheat to thicken the sauce. In practice, however, it doesn't usually give you a good end result. Pulverized ginger snaps work MUCH better.
Taste good, too.
Ginger snaps. Oooh. Now THERE'S an idea! Yummmmm.
My coffee grinder is one of my fave kitchen gadgets and I don't drink coffee.
Same here.
Well, okay, I do drink coffee. But it's shitty instant coffee.
My grinder is for spices only!

I really am an ingredient snob about pretty much everything.
Except coffee and beer. I generally think that people who get all worked up about french roasts and the seasonal Sam Adams or flavored beers are dipshits.
I mean really. I've only got so much energy to expend. Isn't it enough that I use only Serrano ham for my Carbonarra?

Because, beer should taste like beer. Not raspberry-honeysuckle sexually ambiguous crap.
No, you shouldn't drink Schafers, it sucks. But pounding back a Mickey's never killed anyone.

since it's passover, matzoh brie.
basically, scrambled eggs with matzoh crumbled and soaked in the beaten eggs a few minutes before you cook them. kind of like jewish migas.
use your regular scrambled egg recipe but add 1/2 to 1 sheet of matzoh per egg.
some people soak the matzoh in water before adding them to the eggs, but i think this makes for a soggier mix.

Would eggs n brains work for Passover?

corn tortillas are an excellent egg-stretcher......great out on river trips.......
Ok you know, I found myself wanting to give in to this rationalization. But then...
Your morning drink is so important. It's the warmth and taste that wakes you in the morning. My tea is imported at an extra expense so I can taste the tea I am most familiar and in love with when I wake up in the morning.
I just want caffeine in a cup of something that I can drink while smoking my morning cigarettes.
I'll be particular about things later in the day.
Well, you'd make a terrible Brit I'll tell you that right now! Ha.

Had a lovely red wine sauce while I was abroad, but haven't ever attempted my own. I can Google with the best of them, but I'm posting here for comments and recommendations. Thanks 
I don't drink wine but have Cabernet Sauvignon on hand, which I understand will work just fine.

No, I'm not an MG fan, but I'm still buying this cookbook www.alinea-book.com
