SGF: Do you have a favorite "Go to" dish you love to eat or cook.
EF: It would have to be Irish stew. Perfect on a cold, foggy day in the Richmond District where I live. It couldn't be easier to make. Cooking for two:
Buy a pound of stewing lamb (usually the shoulder),
some carrots, potatoes, onions, and a sprig of parsley.
The lamb should be cut into one-inch pieces or thereabouts.
Season and brown the lamb first
then make some layers in a big pot: sliced potatoes, lamb, chopped carrots, sliced onions, and repeat.
Cover it all up with water, bring to a boil and simmer for two hours.
If it's too brothy at the end, mix in a bit of flour.
Throw some parsley on top before serving in bowls with some buttered brown bread if you can make it : this is a recipe I recommend: https://parade.com/26731/rachelallen/brown-soda-bread/
and maybe some bottled Guinness.
To really complete the experience, download my new album 'Anywhere But Home' from Bandcamp https://eamonnflynn.bandcamp.com/ and luxuriate in the deep Dublin grooves while digging into your lamb stew (yes, I am shameless)!
SGF: Do you have any gigs coming up you want me to tell people about?
If you want to hear some good traditional Irish music on St. Patrick's Day (the 17th) itself I have two good gigs going on.
At 1.30 PM, March 17th I will be at the San Francisco United Irish Cultural Center at 2700 45th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94116. I'll be playing with Kathleen Smith on accordion and Kevin Roche on banjo and we will also have dancers performing with us. The Cultural Center will have non-stop music, food, and libations all day with multiple bands, so it's a great destination.
That evening at 7 pm I will be performing at the Plough and the Stars at 116 Clement St, San Francisco, CA 94118 with Darcy Noonan on fiddle and Hector Bragado on banjo. The Plough and the Stars is a great Irish pub, a real San Francisco institution for Irish music and it'll be a great night.
