Dish up a classic comfort food this St. Patrick’s Day
Everyone has “corned beef and cabbage” on the brain come St. Patrick’s Day. But another flavorful dish might appeal to a greater number of people with Irish roots. Shepherd’s Pie is a savory dish made of minced lamb that originated in England but also made the jump to Ireland, where it became a popular comfort food. While Shepherd’s Pie can be made with freshly cooked ground meat, it also is a fine way to use leftovers from a previous meal. Shepherd’s Pie is commonly mistaken for Cottage Pie, which is very similar, yet tends to use beef as the meat of choice. Many families have their own ancestral recipes for Shepherd’s Pie, but for those looking to cook the dish for the first time, try “Shepherd’s Pie,” courtesy of Alton Brown, which appeared in Season 12 of his hit show “Good Eats.”
Shepherd’s Pie
Yield: 8 servings
11⁄2 pounds russet potatoes
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 carrots, peeled and finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced 11⁄2 pounds ground lamb
13⁄4 teaspoons kosher salt
3⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1 cup chicken broth
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1⁄4 cup half-and-half
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large egg yolk
1⁄2 cup corn kernels, fresh or frozen
1⁄2 cup English peas, fresh or frozen
1. Heat oven to 400 F.
2. Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1⁄2-inch dice. Put them in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Set said pan over high heat, cover and bring to a boil. Uncover, drop the heat to maintain a simmer, and cook until tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
3. Heat the oil in an 11-inch saute pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the onion and carrots and saute just until they begin to take on color, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and stir to combine. Add the meat, salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, approximately 3 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, combine the halfand-half and butter in a microwavesafe container and nuke until warmed through, about 35 seconds.
6. Drain the potatoes and return them to the saucepan. Mash the potatoes (a masher is an excellent tool for this, though a hand mixer will do), then add the hot half-andhalf mixture, as well as the salt and pepper. Mash to smoothness, then stir in the egg yolk.
7. Add the corn and peas to the meat mixture and spread evenly in a 7-by-11-inch glass baking dish. Top with the mashed potatoes, starting around the edges to create a seal to prevent the mixture from bubbling over, and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Place on a half sheet pan lined with parchment paper on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or just until the potatoes begin to brown. Remove to a cooking rack and let rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.
4. Sprinkle the meat with the flour, toss to coat, and continue to cook for another minute. Add the tomato paste, broth, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, and thyme and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then decrease the heat to low, cover, and simmer slowly until the sauce is thickened slightly, 10 to 12 minutes.

SUDUKO ANSWERS
Fun facts about basketball
Basketball is an exciting sport with a global footprint. Proof of the global popularity of basketball is evident on both the collegiate and professional hardwoods. In fact, the National Basketball Association noted prior to the opening night of the 2024-25 season that league rosters featured 125 international players from a record-tying 43 countries across six continents.
The popularity of basketball is undeniable. With so many tuned in to the exciting action, now is an ideal time for fans of basketball to learn some fun facts about the game.
• Michael Jordan, arguably the greatest player of all time, was once cut from his varsity high school team. Debates as to who is the greatest basketball player of all time will likely never cease, but many fans point to the man nicknamed “His Airness.” Indeed, Jordan’s many accolades include six NBA championships and six NBA Finals Most Valuable Player awards. Fans can be forgiven if they read Jordan’s impressive résumé and conclude his skills were identified as superior from the moment he stepped on a court, but the eventual five-time NBA MVP failed to make his high school varsity team in his sophomore year.
Jordan ultimately used that as motivation, and averaged more than 25 points per game in his junior and senior seasons.
• Dunking was once illegal at certain levels. Few moments in a basketball game are as exciting as a thunderous slam dunk, but such feats were once outlawed in scholastic and collegiate competitions. Between 1967 and 1976, high school and college players were forbidden from dunking, a rule that might have satisfied basketball purists and assuaged concerns about increasingly tall players dominating the game with simple baskets, but one that undoubtedly confused players. Indeed, in a 2023 media interview, former University of Detroit player Terry Tyler noted his confusion over the rule during his collegiate playing days. Interestingly, Tyler eventually competed in a competition celebrating the slam dunk when he signed up to participate in the 1986 NBA Slam Dunk Contest. That competition was ultimately won by five-foot-seven Spud Webb, a victory that suggests concerns about taller players were misplaced.
• Two men are tied as the tallest players in NBA history. Height is a definite commodity in professional basketball,
and two former players are proof of that. Gheorghe Muresan and Manute Bol, who were each seven-foot-seven, currently hold the record as the two tallest men to play in an NBA game. Curiously, Muresan, whose NBA career ended with the New Jersey Nets in 2000, ultimately found himself the second-tallest player in a game played in 2007. In an appearance that was akin to a promotional endeavor by the Maryland Nighthawks of the American Basketball Association, Muresan was temporarily teammates with Chinese player Sun Mingming, who was measured at seven feet, nine inches tall by the Guinness World Records.
• Dribbling was not always part of the game. Skilled ballhandlers are a big part of the appeal of modern basketball, but dribbling was not always part of the game. In the early days of basketball, players moved the ball by passing it to one another, standing in place and then throwing the ball to another player. Details are fuzzy, but basketball historians now credit players at Yale University in 1901 as the first to dribble in a game.
The global phenomenon of basketball has a rich and interesting history, and the game people love today once looked vastly different.

People make St. Patrick’s Day so popular
It’s often suggested that everyone is Irish on March 17, which marks the celebration of St. Patrick, who is the primary patron saint of Ireland. The boisterous parades, jovial atmosphere and welcoming attitudes of pubs and partiers has undoubtedly contributed to the popularity of St. Patrick’s Day. That popularity also benefits from Irish emigration. According to University College Cork, approximately 10 million people have emigrated from Ireland since 1800. Irish emigrants have relocated to countries across the globe, which perhaps explains why St. Patrick’s Day is now celebrated in more than 200 countries worldwide. Though St. Patrick’s Day is a religious holiday for many practicing Catholics, the day also is a largely secular celebration of Irish culture, which has remained popular thanks to the millions of people who have brought their heritage and customs with them even as they sailed away from the Emerald Isle, often in large numbers.
