Irish Stew

If you'll recall, I was going to make Irish Stew for St. Patrick's Day but with the summer like temps, I decided not to.  This weekend, however, I dove in using this recipe from Martha Stewart.

I used the low-sodium chicken stock and beef instead of lamb.

All in all, it wasn't bad.  We got two meals out of it adding some rolls for dipping.

Mr. felt the broth was more soup than stew but I thought it was just fine.

The only downside in the whole business was that I took off a nice chunk of my finger nail when I tried to peel the potatoes.  Sigh...

And I also realized, I don't care much for thyme.
