Or we can do some recipes....
Guinness cake
1/2 cup Butter
1 cup Brown sugar
3 Egg -- beaten
2 1/4 cups Flour -- self rising
1/2 teaspoon Apple pie spice
1 pinch Salt
2/3 cup Raisins -- soaked in Guinness
1 1/3 cups Golden raisins -- soaked
1/4 cup Candied cherries
8 fluid ounces Guinness or other dark beer
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream the butter and sugar until the sugar is dissolved; beat in the eggs.
Add the flour, salt, apple pie spice and the soaked dried fruit.
Mix in the Guinness, grease a deep 8 inch cake pan and pour
the mixture in. Bake for about 2 hours until firm in the center.
We can go savory too....
Beef and Guinness Stew
2 1/2 lb beef
2 large onions
6 medium carrots
2 tbsp seasoned flour
a little fat or beef dripping
1/2 cup dry cider
1 cup Guinness
sprig of parsley
Cut the beef into chunks and peel and slice the onions and carrots. Toss the beef in the flour and brown quickly in hot fat. Remove the beef and fry the onions gently until transparent. Return the beef and add the carrots and the liquid. Bring just to the boil, reduce the heat to a very gentle simmer, cover closely and cook for 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Check that the dish does not dry out, adding more liquid if necessary. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with plainly boiled potatoes.

Guinness is really at its best in Ireland and I have never had a good pint anywhere else...I've travelled the length and breadth of the world and it just aint the same unless you're standing in a pub with a half n half ( half cold, half room temperature) in your paw!!!
Am living in the South of France at the mo and the stuff they pass off as guinness would make Arth turn in his grave!!!

That's funny, my home in Ireland is about 5 miles from there!
It's a small cyber world!
Guinness is good in bunratty allright - as the guiness ads in Ireland go : All good things come to those who wait!
A good pint of guinness should take at least 4 - 5 minutes to pour.
I miss home!!!!!

If I could figure out how to do it, I'd be there again in a heartbeat. Forever. My family is originally from Cork, Limerick, and Cashel. I'm second generation American, and would love to go home. Maybe when I retire...
