Good to go. Or dine-in.

Sometimes, the intuition works. The other day I had a – feeling – that it was going to be busy for lunch, so I prepped up extra stew and made sure that everything was in its place and ready. Well. It turned out to be a slower than usual day. I was ready, regardless.

This morning, I cruised in extra-early for carrot chopping duties, along with a session of potato peeling, dicing, stirring, mixing, and mashing. My hope was that I would get everything accomplished and have a little time to tackle other chores that have been pushed down the need-to-do list. That didn’t happen. But I was ready for lunchtime.

The little premonition worked out today. Some to-go orders before 11:30. Several tables occupied before noon, and I was rarin’ to go. I like it when things work out for smooth sailing.

As is the case sometimes, a lot of orders for the same thing, and that thing today being Irish Stew – I’ll be back at it shortly, manning the potato and carrot peeling station and ready to whip up another batch of stew for Thursday.

You’re invited to come by for lunch!

Fresh and tasty…

It must have been a case of the ‘hungries’ (as my Dad used to say) that made today’s batch of Irish Stew wind up as a photo. If it wasn’t so early in the morning, more than likely I’d be sampling a bowlful instead of writing about it.

Fresh russet potatoes, carrots, celery, roast beef, onions and spices – ready to ladle into a bowl and serve up with slices of bread.

Breakfast of champions. The Irish ones, anyway.
