With the fast-approaching St Paddy's Day holiday, wuff is prepping recipes for friends and office-workers alike.
Author hasn't decided yet if he'll be dyed and greened again this year as he was for last ( See here: http://www.furaffinity.net/full/22921737/ ), though he'll certainly have the hat and shirt on again.
But even without "going green" for work, the office folks should be in for a nice treat. Vrghr's going to be whipping up some "Irish Pub Food", consisting of "Bangers" braised in stock and Guinness, "Colcannon" style mashed potatoes with lots of butter & chopped cabbage fried in bacon fat (with the bacon bits mixed in too, of course!), and some robust onion Guinness and brown sugar gravy drizzled atop. Coworkers are bringing in Soda Bread (with some Irish Butter) and desserts to round out the meal.
Ought to be a great lunch! Since this is a new creation for Vrghr, there'll be photos and recipes posted in FA to follow.
Then the following day, on Saturday, wuff will be cooking again for another gathering of friends. These are becoming quite the routine thing, and Vrghr is loving it! Wuff heads out to a local friend's house and "takes over" her kitchen. She invites folks to come share the nom noms, and we have a nice social night of conversation and comestibles.
Not only are these gatherings become a cherished routine - we seem to be doing them every other week now - but they also seem to be growing. Wuff initially started with just feeding the hostess, wuff's roomie, and Vrghr. Then a couple friends were over when wuff arrived, and we fed them too. That was such fun that the hostess started looking for others to invite, and it's taken off from that.
Saturday, Vrghr will be feeding 10 folks on Dublin Coddle. Quite a party from such humble origins. Since Vrghr has already posted this recipe (see here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/22924373/ ), don't expect new recipe entries for that. But wuff may try making some traditional Irish Soda Bread ( the simple 'peasant' version, not the 'gussied up' type with Currants and Honey, etc. (as the proponents of the "traditional Irish breads" would call it)) to side with the Coddle. If so, and if it works, that'll have a posting, as will any new creations that might come along with it.
Wuffy wishes all you reading this a fun celebratory day! Whether you celebrate the holiday, or "just because", may you enjoy the day and find a reason to smile! And, if your celebration should include a good meal or a good drink, whether you make it yourself, buy it at a restaurant, or share it with friends, give thanks for the having of it and enjoy the event.
Wuffy will be doing the same! Bon Appetite!

Next time, snap a photo if you can, and you'll be able to add it to the recipes on
Wuff's hoping it will be!
Going to be making up the Colcannon tonight, and just bring it and warm it tomorrow (mashed 'taters warm up pretty nicely). The braised sausages and the gravy will be made "in house" in our little kitchen at work. Those fair better when freshly-made. And the aroma of the frying sausages and the boiling gravy ought to really get folks in an eating mood. *GRINS*
Wuff has to pity the poor folks in this building who aren't part of our crew! Vrghr has walked off the elevator on our floor and known immediately that good cookin' was was going on in module all the way at the far end of the building. In fact, some days when wuff is REALLY going nuts, the smell greets you when you get on the 'vator at ground floor.
Folks here are very understanding and tolerant of all the good smells. But Vrghr's still surprised we haven't opened the doors to find a line outside in the hallway, holding plates! *LAUGHS*

I might have celebrated last year's holiday with bangers & mash, so I might either do that again or cabbage & beef.
Keep up the good work!
And you really can't go wrong with a good cabbage and beef.
Thank you, and Bon Appetite!
