Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Looking to put a little Irish on your menu? Me, too. I'm thinking of incorporating a recipe from this fine Boyle's Famous Corned Beef Recipe Book [a KC staple] into my day:Will I whip up their fine 'last-minute corned beef spaghetti supper,' or 'luncheon salad mold' [oh the horror] or the 'corned beef and corn casserole'? Maybe not. I'm leaning towards this tummy-turner:

Corned Beef Party Strips
Cut cooked Boyle's Famous Corned Beef [or whatever's on hand] into finger length strips about half an inch thick. Dip in batter made of 1 cup prepared pancake mix, 3/4 cup beer and 1/4 tsp salt. [I'm pretty sure they'll come right up and co-mingle with your beer later in the day, but until then, what the hey?!]

To all of you who will belly up to the bar into the wee hours, I offer a toast to raise your green brew - and your party strips - to:

May you have all the happiness
and luck that life can hold—
And at the end of all your rainbows
may you find a pot of gold!
