[Guest guest]

This cookbook I ordered was just *now* delivered, and I quickly formatted this

recipe. This book is coming up as a cookbook of the week soon. Glancing

through it, it looks pretty good, so far!

NOTES : Author's Note: I sometimes serve this stew on Saint Patrick's Day, over

spinach noodles accompanied by Irish soda bread. Since Saint Patrick himself

wasn't Irish, I don't think he'd mind that this stew isn't exactly authentic,

since it uses beans in place of the traditional meat. You can peel the potatoes

if you like, but I usually leave them unpeeled for added nutrition.
