I forgot to pick up the corned beef from the supermarket. Dang, shoulda had that cookin' up in the crock pot today! Must remember to pop by and grab a couple (one to eat this week, one to freeze for later while it's cheap!)

I knew CB&C wasn't a traditional Irish meal, but that got me to wondering what would be. Given the era that St. Patrick lived in, more than likely it was boiled mutton. I think corned beef is a (slight) improvement on that- I've never had mutton, but if it's anything close to lamb then it's nasty ****.

Ditto that, on knowing... An old co-worker from Ireland told me. But, it's basically the one time of the year where it's somehow acceptable that I go beyond rational cabbage eating limits and everyone else joins in, thus making the resulting gas 'OK'.

And seriously, if we're eating traditionally Irish, wouldn't we just be eating a lot of potatoes... or ??

Ooh, I'll put my bacon-y note elsewhere. Like here.

Lamb is yummy!!!

I've had mutton... A little tough and gamy, but good. (It must be the Welsh in me.)

I only say Fvck St. Patrick's Day because I've experienced great personal loss on a day marred by binge drinking.

That, and the asshats that keep coming up and asking for a discount today because they're Irish

I'm sorry CM. I didn't mean to open fresh or not so fresh wounds.

I know most "ethnic" food isn't really. I don't care an awful lot, sometimes, cuz whatever it is, it's tasty. I like sushi. I like CB&C. I like burritos.

It's a fun game to play. Maybe we'll go up to the bar and have a drink tonight. Did some drinkin' on Saturday and kind of overdid it.

But a Guinness tonight might be in order. It won't be green, though.
