The hottest temperatures of the year are forecast for the next few days. This makes the appeal of the Coolinary menu at The Irish House even more appealing. It begins with a Caiparihna cocktaill--the Caribbean and South American classic of rum (locally made Rougaroux Rum, to be exact), lime juice, and lots of crushed ice. Then you get the menu that follows:
Heirloom Tomato & Honeydew Salad
Spicy, rice wine vinaigrette
Lamb Shank Ragout
A rich stew with lamb all but falling apart over basil pasta and grated Parmesan cheese
Golden Raisin Cake
Buttercream icing
This dinner has one more winning quality: at $32, it's going for three dollars less than the Coolinary standard. It goes on through the rest of the month and into the next couple of weeks after that. This is at dinner hours. They also have a $15 Coolinary lunch.
