a friend of ours started a st patty's day tradition way back in the day; every year he cooks up a traditional corned beef dinner and invites his buddy's over to celebrate with a few Irish lagers
as we all know life happens- this friend of ours found an amazing girl, fell in love and moved in
the tradition was set aside but not forgotten; i was just saying to Justin how i missed the traditional st patty's day dinner when i received a message from our friend - the dinner is back on this year
i cannot tell you how super excited i was - i mean so excited that i committed to the dinner even before asking Justin if we had plans....well regardless, i had my plan -
i was heading to celebrate the holiday with or without him
this friend of ours is super sweet - he knows that we are vegan/vegetarian, the first thing he wanted to know is what he could cook for us. i know how much work he puts into the dinner so i volunteered to bring a few dishes to share. he loves to cook and explore different ways of cooking so i am sure he will have something fabulous for us all well.
one of my contribution's to the st patty's day potluck will be this very cottage pie
cottage pie is a traditional Irish dish made of lamb & potatoes;
in England it is made with beef and called Shepard's pie.
let me share with you my version of cottage pie
