Even though to be truly Irish I think it should be bacon and cabbage, I've always followed the lead of Irish-Americans and gone with corned beef when it comes to St. Patrick's Day dinner...because I love it even more than bacon. ☺
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Three Good Things:
1. Corned beef
2. The color green
3. Tax documents delivered to the accountant
@judithg I got the info straight from the Smithsonian newsletter. 🙂
Corned beef was never a big thing in Ireland. The Irish immigrants in the US started making corned beef and cabbage with the corned beef they got from their neighborhood Jewish butchers. 🤷♀️
@happypat No parades this year, Pat. But the bars are open (half capacity). We just saw a leprechaun (a guy in costume) going down the sidewalk heading to the neighborhood bar. Wish I'd had my phone handy to snap a photo. ☺
I fixed the same meal. My mother was full Irish. Ancestry.com confirms I am 86% Irish. My school & Church are named St Patrick. Every day is a good day to be Irish.
