Corned Beef and Cabbage for St. Pat's

First of all Shirley and I were supposed to be at Dover Downs  yesterday and today.

                                         That got cancelled.

So, that meant that I could participate in our St. Patrick Day's Pot Luck here at the Commons. I had a recipe all picked out and everything. I was going to make colcannon. Now, I've never had colcannon but I didn't figure it would be so hard... just mashed Irish potatoes with leeks and cabbage in them. I do love my Irish Potatoes. And, that got cancelled.

                                      So, what did I do instead? 

I made sure I was wearing something green. I mean you can't be caught without green on or you'll get pinched. Oh, forgot.. who's gonna pinch me? There's no one stirring around this place but me.

I went into the kitchen and made me some corned beef (out of a can with potatoes and onions fried in it) and boiled me some cabbage. That pone of cornbread came out of the oven steaming hot and I just slit me a piece open and smeared it with butter. 

           I was in Irish Heaven! That food was sooooo good. 

I hope you did something to celebrate St. Paddy's day today.                           Especially if you are of Irish descent.

I guess I can take my St. Patty's door decoration down in the                                                      morning. 

                            Time to get the Easter stuff out.
