Actually, it was another kind, because the liquor store wouldn't let me buy just one bottle of Guinness, so I found a pint bottle of another kind in the coldcase...I don't care for it to drink. I only used a cup of it and have lots left over...since it cost about 4 bucks for that one pint, I'm thinking I should be thrifty and use it somehow...as a hair rinse maybe! Any ideas for other recipes???

I haven't tried it yet but folks here speak highly of it. Tue Mar 04 05:26:19 -0800 2008 3457703 127625 fern 2 3458374 I second the Gramercy Tavern Gingerbread. I made it NYE and it's the best I've ever had! http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/105881 There's also a chow.com story about cooking with Guiness that you may want to check out http://www.chow.com/stories/10971 ....with St. Pat's coming up soon there's bound to be lots of beer related recipes floating around. If you do try any of these (or others) please post an update. :) Tue Mar 04 08:52:39 -0800 2008 3457718 138472 maplesugar 3 3459534 In the same vein I've made a terrific gingerbread cake with cream cheese frosting and candied pistachios using stout that makes quite the visual impact.

And do check out the guiness story maplesugar mentioned, it's a decent list.

You have to check it out! http://www.karott.com/guinness_recipes.htm Tue Mar 04 11:30:30 -0800 2008 3457703 132749 porceluna 1 3459173 Thanks all..my hair didn't need such an expensive rinse! Tue Mar 04 11:46:57 -0800 2008 3457703 109812 crosby_p 2 3459343 There is always steak and guiness pie. I'd avoid the hair rinse, though. BTDT, and you smell like you've started the day off w/ a beer because the smell doesn't rinse out completely. Tue Mar 04 12:22:50 -0800 2008 3459173 39874 chowser
