Curried Chicken with Onions
Ingredients
1 lb Boneless Skinless Chicken breasts
1 Large Onion, diced
3 Cloves of Garlic (minced)
1 can of Chicken Stock (14oz ish)
1 stick of Butter (1/4 lb)
6 Tablespoons of Flour
2 Tablespoons of curry powder
Olive Oil

Cut the chicken into 1/2inch to 1 inch pieces. Dredge in flour (not the Tbs listed that's for later), fry in hot oil till golden ish on all sides.  If they don't brown up quite right its not the end of the world.  The don't need to be fully cooked, just mostly.  Pull the chicken pieces as they finish and hold them aside on a plate, you will probably need to do them in a couple of batches so as not to crowd the pan.

When the chicken is done make sure there is still enough oil in the pan to sautee the onions and garlic in, if not add more.  When the onions are translucent pull them out (you can pile them on the chicken).  In the now empty pan melt the stick of butter and build a rue with the flour and curry powder.  Once the rue is ready add the chicken stock and however much water you need to make it up to 2 cups.  Once the sauce has come to a rolling boil turn it down to a simmer and add the chicken and onions back in.  Simmer till the chicken is fully cooked.  Serve over "Grandma Mullins' Red Beans and Rice" (recipe pending)

I've got a recipe for Mandarin Cake that has been a huge hit with the family - I'll post it later when I'm home and have the recipe as it was from a friend and I don't see this variation of it online.

I'll be making my pasta and chicken this weekend.  Maybe I'll post the simple recipe and pics for shits and giggles if I'm not feeling lazy.

The Dark Tartan
-1 measure of black coffee
-1 measure of Drambuie
-1 measure of MacPherson Irish Whiskey (Bushmills may be substituted)
-1 measure of Single Malt Scotch (your choice, I'd go with the Macallan or the Glenfiddich)
-combine, shake and pour over ice.

Classic Rob Roy
-3 measures of Single Malt Scotch (again, the Glenfiddich or the Macallan are choice)
-1 measure of sweet vermouth
-2 dashes of Agnostura bitters
-combine, shake and pour over ice (actually 'neat' is more 'classic', but ice is acceptable).

Gaelic Christmas Cake
-1 measure of Single Malt Scotch (see above)/ or Irish Whisky (Bushmills/MacPhersons)
-2 measures of Drambuie
-5 measures of Guinness Stout
-Pour the Scotch in a tall glass first, followed by the Drambuie.  Chill.  Pour the Guinness slowly into the glass, allowing the stout to separate into layers.  Drink.

...and one of my personal favorites ;)

The Warm Fuzzy Sheep
-1 measure of Single Malt Scotch (see above above)
-2 measures of Drambuie
-2 measures of warm milk or cream.
-Pour the Scotch and Drambuie into the glass together.  Mix.
-Slowly add the warm milk or cream. Do not stir.  Drink.
*Note:  I've seen this recipe but with eggnog substituted for the milk, and called the Warm Christmas Goose.

** for anybody who has never served as a bartender, a "measure" is simply a term used for an equal measure.  So, substitute cup, gallon, pint, ounce.  As long as the measures of each are equal, (I.E.  1 measure is one ounce, 2 measures is 2 ounces), the drink will come out correct.  Enjoy!
