Last week I was over to a friends house to have a meal and to visit. I was looking forward to having some vegetarian cuisine because my friend is on a strict, no meat, dairy, sugar or gluten diet. Many people would think she must eat only rice and veggies but to be truthful its not that hard to make food that complements her dietary needs - you just have to think outside the box a little!
When I arrived, amongst the greetings and hugs I could smell wonderful things coming fromt he kitchen. After following our host into her dining room she went up to her stove have lifted the lid wafting drool worthy smell towards us and exclaimed I've made Irish Stew!
Now of course a good home made stew is good anytime I was really curious to try hers and my slight disappointment of not trying a new vegetarian dish was replaced by excitement of finally tasting her infamous Irish Stew. My friend has a blog here: and many tims she has mentioned her stew along with various other friends and loved one.... so of course I wanted to try it as well!
Needless to say the stew was fantastic! You can tell the food is good when a satisfied silence descends upon the table while your house guests hapily eat away at thier meal. Another good sign is when all the food dissapears, eventhough you made much more than the amount of guests that had been invited.
I did however get a small taste of the vegetarian dish my friend had made for herself ... I think was an Etiopean lentil stew called Berbere. - In any event YUM
