                        2 large        garlic cloves, peeled, minced
                        1 med.        onion
                        2 tsp.         rosemary, crumbled
                        8 Tbs.        butter
                        4 Tbs.        flour
                        1-1/2 C.      broth
                        Salt

                        6 C.            potatoes

Preheat oven to 375. Combine meat, garlic, onion and rosemary. Put thru grinder twice. Melt butter in skillet and stir in flour - cook until smooth and blended. Slowly add broth. Stir and cook until gravy is thickened, cooking at least 5 minutes to get rid of raw flour taste. Add meat mixture - stir to blend and add salt and pepper to taste. Spoon into 3- quart casserole.
Make a criss-cross design with a fork. Bake 35-40 minutes or until meat is bubbling hot and the potatoes are browned.

Is deacair ambran a radh gan gloine.
( It's hard to sing with an emplty glass. )

Don't praise the bread until it is baked
An egg without salt is like a kiss from a beardless man.
Hunger is the best sauce.
Never sell your hens on a wet day.
Laughter is gayest where the food is best

And we leave you all with this familiar Irish blessing:
May the road rise to meet you.
And the wind be ever at your back.
And may the Lord hold you in the
hollow of His hand.
