Bought a corned beef from our farmer people, and it was good. It was a little fancier than we otherwise like, which is that it was heavy with the other spices---mustard seed and cinnamon---whereas we're a little basic: we like just the all spice berries and crushed bay leaf. Those were present in this as well, but the other profiles were heavy.
Having kids during this holiday shenanigans is different: no more strolling to wait in loine at the bar at 3 am. Just work, make dinner, have just a little whiskey. All good.
I did find a picture from St. Patrick's 2009, from hanging out with Marc at their place in Hell's Kitchen, and made a collage with a picture from myself from this year. So, 16 years apart to the day, wearing the same shirt...
After making a purchase (yay sale prices), I may be adding a new wrinkle to my St. Patrick's Day dinner plans:
Happy Springtime (tomorrow)! Happy St. Paddy's, or, as my kids call it, St. Daddy's Day!
The pineberries look interesting..... I was at Costco and purchased a container of sliced Mango, I saw it wanted it didn't want to fuss with peeling and slicing a mango... ate the container in two days... so good....I miss a variety of fruits we have apples oranges and bananas currently available...frozen whatever you want... fresh not so much...
