Irish stew and beef stew?

I believe that Irish stew is made with mutton or perhaps lamb.

The best lime pie I've ever had...

Filling:
Juice of 5-6 limes (6 key limes if you want it tart, 5 regular limes if you want it sweeter)
3 teaspoons grated lime zest (zest from about 3-4 limes)
5 large egg yolks (or 6 small)
1 14oz can plus additional 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk

Crust:
1 1/2 cup finely crushed graham crackers
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
6 tablespoons butter at room temperature
1 teaspoon almond extract

Topping:
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar

Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 325 F.

Put yolks in a large bowl and whisk in zest - about 2-3 minutes (slightly frothy). Slowly stir in milk and then lime juice. Put aside.

In a smaller bowl, mix the graham crackers with the sugars. Cut in butter. Sprinkle in almond extract and combine well. Press into a 9" pie pan. Be sure to press up on the sides as well.

Bake the crust for 12 minutes. Cool slightly

Heat oven to 350 F.

Pour filling into pie shell. Bake at 350 F for 15 minutes.

Remove from oven. Cool. Refrigerate until chilled (3-4 hours).

Using an electric mixer (or just whisk really fast), whip heavy cream until it starts to solidify and slowly whip in sugar. Top pie and serve.

I've got a pie chilling right now where I added some cinnamon to the crust. I think that'll give it a nice edge but will report back after due tasting. To make it easy on yourself, just get the graham cracker crumbs predone. To really save time, just get a pre-made crust.

Im gonna have to try some of these!

Oh, about 2 teaspoons of cinnamon (I think... I usually don't measure stuff) added a nice complexity to the crust. That's now my ammended recipe. I'm guessing that switching lemon for lime would be pretty tasty as well.

I like your Mexican Pork Chops recipe Miss LaLa. Heres mine:

BBQ Baked Pork Chops

Place thick cut chop on foil.
Layer on 1 vidalia onion slice, 1 piece green pepper, 1 pineapple ring.
Add one pat of butter in center of pineapple ring and top with 1 teaspoon teriaki sauce.
Wrap foil tightly and place on hot grill for 8-10 minutes.

I usually do 4 chops, all wrapped individually. They cook fast. Its easy to overcook them. Its great the way the flavors blend together. Serve and top with the juices. I always try to get a picture, but they disappear way too fast.
