Looks like I won't be able to make it after all. . . some TCA event that I thought didn't include me, turns out it does!

Well, I'm bringing a main dish, as the post says, but just to clarify, it will be Guinness Beef Stew. (There are no potatoes in it, and the recipe suggests mashed potatoes as a side, so perhaps someone who can't come up with an idea could volunteer to bring champ, colcannon, or boxty--all Irish names for potato dishes!)

I really want to try the Irish chocolate whiskey cake. See you Saturday!

I think Michelle is going to bring a side dish involving potatoes.
To clarify, the bread I will bring will either be soda bread to go with the meal, or a sweet bread to take home since Rachel's covering the dessert.

Dave and I will bring "Toad in the Hole", which is sort of like pigs in a blanket--it's sausages cooked in a pan of Yorkshire pudding.

Heather will be bringing a few friends and some extra food, I assume side dishes.
I've settled on soda bread for my part.
See everyone tomorrow!

Below is the recipe for watercress soup. I included the measurement conversions.
Watercress Soup
Britain's native watercress is still grown, particularly in Hampshire. It has a tangy peppery flavour which works beautifully in soup.
INGREDIENTS:
Butter - 50 g (2 oz), 3.844174 Tablespoon (US)
Watercress - 2 bunches - approx. 110 g (4 oz), washed, coarse stalks removed, chopped,
Onion - 1 medium, chopped,
Plain flour - 25 g (1 oz), 1/8 cup
Milk - 600 ml (1 pint), 2.4 cups
Chicken or vegetable stock - 450 ml (* pint), 1.9 cups
Single cream - 6 tbsp.
COOKING: 1. Melt the butter in a large pan, gently fry the watercress and onion for a few minutes until softened. Stir in the flour and cook for a minute.
2. Stir in the milk slowly, and then the stock. Bring to the boil, stir until thickened. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
3. Liquidize then add the cream and reheat gently without boiling.
