For St. Patrick's Day (and Signora V.), just finished making Irish-style seafood chowder. Haven't made it in at least a year, and the good thing about it is that it freezes well, if need be.

The main course tonight will be Gaelic Steak, and there are two lovely New York Strip steaks waiting for me to do the honors. The chowder will be the first course.

Funny thing is, there happens to be a nice Irish pub/restaurant right on our corner, but since it is an Irish pub, it can get quite packed on March 17 with dinner seating quite hard to come by without an advance reservation, not to mention those folks who over-overindulge. sick

And besides, it's a lot more enjoyable for me to cook it myself - at least I know every single thing that went into the dinner!

Signor V.

"For me, there's only my wife..."

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"

"It was a grass harp... And we listened."

"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
