Peach Beer Blueberry Shortcakes

Peach Beer Blueberry Shortcakes are made with peach lambic beer and served on Raspberry Chocolate Stout Biscuits for a tart and sweet treatI did it.  Two times.  All by myself.

I successfully road (rowed?) my kayak alone.  Two times!  It’s crazy, right?Last weekend Chris went camping and four wheeling in the Georgia woods with some friends.  If you have spent any time visiting this here website, you know that I absolutely did not go with them.  Everyone had a better time.

I went to the lake.  My first couple of times out kayaking was touch and go, but I was bound and determined that I could do it myself.  I grabbed my shades, life jacket, and my trusty whistle and headed down to the pier.

I took a few deep breaths and set my kayak in the water and climbed in. Well, truth be told, it wasn’t as graceful as that sounds.  Also, Chris knows me well enough to think ahead and bought this contraption that connects my paddle to my boat.  Let’s just give a collective sigh of relief there because otherwise I’d still be floating around out there.

About 30 seconds after I pushed away from the dock, I realized that my kayak had been sitting on the pier and I didn’t think to look all the way inside where my feet were and it occurred to me that a snake could come slithering out of there and then I’d have a heart attack and drown.  I told myself that if there had been any creatures in my kayak, all the commotion of boarding it would have scared them to kingdom come.

I was concerned about how I was going to extract myself from the kayak and get back up on the dock, but all was well and I was able to use the ladder.  Oddly, the first time went better than the second time.  I managed to get out without falling in, but there was quite a bit of water that needed to be drained from my vessel.

I rowed (road?) around the lake and all was well, but for one incident.  All the safety information tells you to stay close to the shore line.  That way you can get to land if you need to and you stay out of the way of the boats with motors that may run you over.  I was sailing along nicely until I passed a neighboring dock and right about the time I was behind his boat the neighbor fired it up.  I nearly had a heart attack and started rowing as fast as I could.  Fortunately, the guy was safety-minded and looked behind him before backing out.

I thought I was going to have to use my whistle!

St. Patrick’s Day is my birthday.

Having said that, besides my 21st birthday, I don’t usually get too hyped up about the green beer, Guinness, and corned beef.  The reality is, when it comes to beer and corned beef, we pretty much celebrate my Irish heritage all year ’round.  And I never met a potato I didn’t like.

But this year I’m doing something a little bit different.  I’m celebrating my birthday and all things St. Patrick’s Day with a bunch of fantastic blogger friends.  It’s a virtual St. Patrick’s Day party! Woot!  Do what you like to do to celebrate.  Whether you like beer or pretend to like beer on this particular day (and color it green), whether you are Irish or pretend to be on this day, or if you just like awesome food – check out this amazing collection of recipes that will have you covered from head to leprechaun toe with all things that celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.

And my birthday.  Cheers!

Raspberry Chocolate Milk Porter Pudding Shooters

Ingredients

  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup beer
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 ounces chocolate chips, melts, etc., whatever you like
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch
  2. Heat milk, heavy cream, and beer until steamy
  3. Add 1/2 cup of the warm milk mixture to the egg yolks and whisk until combined
  4. Continue adding milk and whisking 1/2 cup at a time until most all milk is combined in the eggs
  5. Add egg/milk mixture back to the pan and heat to just before a boil, stirring or whisking constantly until thick and coats the back of a spoon
  6. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and chocolate until chocolate is melted
  7. Stir in butter until completely melted
  8. Pass through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl to remove any egg solids
  9. Cover with plastic wrap with the plastic touching the pudding to prevent a skin from forming
  10. Refrigerate about 4 hours or overnight
  11. Pipe into small glasses and top with whipped cream, grated chocolate, and mint leaves

NOTES:

  1. I added the chocolate at the end for color more so than flavor because without it the pudding didn’t have a very chocolate-y appearance
  2. Use whatever serving dishes you want.  I used beer festival tasting glasses because that’s what I have a ton of and it adds to the fun St. Patrick’s Day beer fun.
  3. I used Love Ninja from Asheville Brewing Company, but most any chocolate stout or porter would be fine – a touch of raspberry or cherry flavor would be ideal.
