Irish Fish Pie with Green Delight and Easy Asparagus


Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs cod fish fillet
1/2 stick butter
1/4 cup flour
2 cups milk
3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese

Scone topping ingredients:
1 cup flour
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/2 stick butter
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
1 egg yolk

Directions:

Turn on U2 or any Irish music to get you in the mood.

Place fish filets in the bottom of a 9x5 pan.

Make a cheese sauce with the butter, flour, milk and grated cheese and pour over fish.
While this is sitting, make scone dough by mixing the flour with baking powder and pinch of salt and then work in butter as much as possible.

Add grated cheese and drop egg yolk into the mixture and add enough milk (it is a few tablespoons, add a little at a time) to make a workable dough.

Roll out to a thickness of 1/2 inch and cut into small rounds with a cup. Gather and reroll dough repeatedly until you get about 8 rounds.

Place these rounds on top of the fish mixture so that they just about cover the surface and then glaze them with a little milk.

Sprinkle some more grated cheese over them and bake at 450F degrees for 25-30 minutes or until the scones are golden brown.

Serve with Frank’s Red Hot if you are Mexican Irish

Green Delight:
Mix 1 pint small curd cottage cheese, 1 cup marshmallows, one small can of pineapple and 1 small can of mandarin oranges, a package of sugar free lime jello, and a few dollops of whipped cream to reach your desired consistency and chill.

Easy Yummy Asparagus:
Place asparagus on a plate with a little bit of water (a couple tablespoons), slice as much butter as you like atop the asparagus and season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap. Microwave for 5 minutes or so.
