St. Patrick's Day

We have already agreed on the menu with the Corned Beef and Cabbage. But, what about something for an Irish toast. Green beer? Or maybe an Irish Kiss.

For this delightful beverage you will need:

• A 12oz. glass
• Ice
• Orange Juice
• Blue Curacao

Pour a shot of Blue Curacao in the glass filled with ice. Add orange juice and you will have an Emerald Green Irish Kiss. Very tastey.

There is also the Shamrock Cocktail for those wanting something not quite as sweet.

• 2 oz. Irish Whiskey
• 1/2 oz. Dry Vermouth
• 1 tsp. Creme De Menthe (green)

Pour over crushed ice, stir, and strain into martini glass. Garnish with an olive.

Prime Rib

A 30z. seasoning packet of Patty's Prime Seasoning is designed to coat a 15 to 18lb. loin. Whatever size loin or roast you choose to cook, the procedure is the same. The only difference is the amount of seasoning needed.

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 2 1/2 to 3 hours
Rest time: 30 minutes (for the loin, not the cook)

Wash thawed loin thoroughly under cold tap water. Put on sheet pan or roasting pan. Coat the entire loin; top, bottom and ends.

Place in pan fat side up. DO NOT COVER. Bake in oven at 325*. After 2 1/2 hours using your meat thermometer, check the temperature of the center of the loin. It needs to temp. 110* to 115* for Medium Rare, 130* to 135* for Medium, and 145* for Medium Well. Anything beyond that and you are on your own. When you pull it out of the oven, as it rests, it will continue to cook.

While the Prime Rib is baking you will have time to prepare the Au Jus. One quart of water and 2 heaping T. of beef base in sauce pan. Bring to a boil. Add sliced onions and simmer on medium low until time to serve. Don't forget to saute mushrooms and make some horseradish and sourcream sauce to top off the Prime Rib.

Calico Beans

• 1/4 lb. bacon
• 1 diced onion
• 1 lb. hamburger

• 1 can lima beans
• 1 can kidney beans
• 1 large can pork and beans

Brown bacon, hamburger and onion in pan and drain. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Bake in 9 x 13 greased pan at 300* for 1 1/2 hours.
