Opted for the beef braised in Guinness this time around, and it turned out quite nicely. May have some more a bit later, if I'm still up. Simple mashed potatoes made for the ideal side dish. Unfortunately, all my friends had made other plans for the day, and I didn't have any Irish-themed musical get-together to go to this year owing to the indisposition of the organizer, so I ended up celebrating solo. Oh well... Perhaps next year... But, that didn't stop me from getting out the ol' guitar and running through a bunch of songs while the stew was slowly cooking on my stove top. It was either that, or stare at the pot for a couple of hours. I chose the music and my neighbors can either like it or not - they should just be glad I don't do my practicing at 3:00 in the morning! Didn't try to make soda bread this year; I was still too gun-shy after last year's disaster when it came out as soft as a bowling ball and I broke a steak knife trying to slice it! (I still have your link, SB!) Went easy on the alcohol this year, so I can't claim to have seen any leprechauns. However, I will definitely check under the bed before I retire for the evening. You never can tell... Hope everyone had a happy and safe St. Patrick's Day! Signor V.

[quote=klydon1]The huge pot of ham and cabbage that I made was very good. We still have quite a bit even after giving some away. My wife was at the K of C club and came home before me last night with corned beef and cabbaage. I still have a brisket in the garage fridge and three heads of cabbage, so I think we'll be doing St. Patty's Day next weekend too. [/quote If i lived a bit closer. i would nip round to help you polish some of that lovely grub off Klyd
I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees!
