Tues 17 Mar

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Making corned beef and cabbage in the crock pot today for the first time in several years. I will give a shot at making colcannon (mashed potatoes w/kale & leeks) to go with them, and maybe even some Irish bread. Feeling my green today. Sure, and a fine Irish supper it was! Everything turned out deliciously, from a good not-too-salty cut of corned beef, nicely cooked cabbage/onion/carrots, colcannon as a yummy vehicle to get kale and leeks [and lots of butter] into a meal, and Irish soda bread. Topped off with a pumpkin Imperial stout.
