Luck o’ the Irish
In anticipation of St. Patrick’s Day tomorrow, the husband and I are cooking a traditional Irish meal for dinner tonight. We are paying homage to his Irish heritage. We plan to have leftovers tomorrow for dinner! Our meal tonight consists of:
Corned beef with onions
Boiled new potatoes
Irish soda bread
The corned beef has been cooking since 3pm and the house smells great (Irish-y, perhaps?). The Irish soda bread is baking and we are looking forward to digging into our meal. Tomorrow night we plan on having corned beef sandwiches on sourdough bread with mustard – yum!
Happy St. Patty’s Day!
Irish, Scottish or English… I’m not sure which… but today and tomorrow we’ll be Irish!
OH NO! I completely forgot it was St. Patrick’s Day!!!! EEKK!!! I have to find something green STAT before my students try to start a pinching war tomorrow!
Have fun with your meal–and thanks for the reminder!
FYI – The Corned Beef turned out excellent if I do say so myself. Never made any before, but it smelled and tasted exactly as I remember. Too bad we’ll wait another 365 days to have it again.
I did not know of Jason’s Irish heritage. I do know the blessing but did not realize it was an Irish prayer. It is so pretty. Your meal sounds delicious. I have a famous “meat pie” recipe that I would like for Jason to try sometime
This Irish thing has gotten out of hand! I *think* there is Irish in the last name, but my research is inconclusive. Mom’s side is German, that we are sure of. But Irish, German, British, Russian, Southern, Yankee or Hispanic… it doesn’t matter… I’m still not eating meat pie!
It just doesn’t sound right. Sorry.
