Guys! Food emergency! I have three cans of Guinness in my fridge. I don't like beer (oh, irony) and if I did, I still wouldn't like Guinness. I got it to bake into cupcakes with. I'm leaving town in about a week and a half. What can I cook with beer? Help!

Also: can you duplicate the effect of a slow cooker with a stock pot set real low? If not, why not?

I would say send them to me, but eh. Guinness in cupcakes? How did that work out?

As for crock pot and stock pot, I'm totally pulling this one. I think the only difference would be is that with a stock pot, you'd have to pay attention to the food more. Whereas with a crock pot, all you really have to do is set it and leave it.

water, beer, seasoning to boil short-ribs then broil?

Ooh, handy link.

I don't know. They were OK but not as excitingly different and good as I'd hoped. I have better cake recipes, you know? Well, one. And you really only need one good cake recipe.

Well hey. THAT's not a big deal. What's with all these recipes saying MUST HAVE CROCK POT? My interest in buying a crock pot = very small, my interest in stew = very large. I mean, it's not like people didn't make this stuff before we had crock pots, yanno?

Beer bread! Recipe goes:
3 cups of flour
4 teaspoons of baking powder
2 teaspoons of salt
330ml beer
1 tablespoon of honey

Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Mix everything together and then pour into a greased loaf tin. Bake for 45 minutes.

We made this a few times before we got a breadmaker and it's pretty decent bread - probably not something you'd want to make sandwiches out of, but definitely good on the side of casserole or curry. Also, it's dead easy.

Maybe I'll make beer bread and jessikast's Irish stew - could be a delish combination! Thanks. :D

Oooh, now I want to try the bread and stew combination! Because that bread sounds both delicious and easy.

Irish lamb stew!!

Absolutely delicious, and yummy and delicious - I don't like Guinness either, but I keep some in the pantry just for this recipe. Bonus - it's the kind of food you could make up in bulk, and then freeze for when you come back into town.

I posted the recipe in my journal here.

That sounds DELICIOUS. nom nom nom.

(Mind you, I won't be back in town til next Feb, so I'll have to OD on it over a week, but I think I could survive that.)

I don't know any recipes, so can't help you there, but...I do drink Guinness. I also live not ten minutes' drive away. Coincidence? I think not!

Well, two things:

they've been in the back of the fridge for MONTHS and at some point they were definitely partially frozen, so... they might be gross and/or poisonous (what? shut up.)

I kinda want to cook with them! Esp. now that I have all these recipes.

I'm 80% sure that I ALREADY OFFERED THEM to you MONTHS AGO and you didn't take them off my hands. WHAT'S THAT ABOUT, HUH.

Wait, that was three things. Um?
