No Green Beer For Me

Happy St. Patricks Day! Why is it this holiday always lands on a work day? Theres the big parade downtown and hundreds of my fellow Irishman partying and drinking gallons of green beer, not me though, like the majority I have to work. Not really very Irish anyway, no leprechauns in my heritage, I don’t even recommend people “Kiss me I’m Irish”, I am so far removed from the Blarney Stone I hold no luck.

I do however have just a smidge of Irish blood in me, just enough to crave a traditional meal of Corned Beef and cabbage, I wait all year for this one day to have my meal and its worth the wait, nothing is more appetizing than a boiled chunk of meat and soft cabbage dripping with butter. MMMM I can already almost taste it! And the smell! Nothing brings out a little Irish brogue better then the smell of boiling cabbage permeating your senses and filling your home. But seriously I do enjoy it and will continue to cook it every year even if I am the only one in the house that will eat it.
