A Face Only A Mother Could Love: Non-Trad, Trad Irish Stew

I thought I’d share one of my favourite dishes since my husband has been nagging me to document it.   The problem with a lot of my dishes are that they are thrown together, on taste, and when I come to itemise it, I can’t remember amounts!  Needless to say, everything is subject to what you [...]
