Well, loyal readers, what can I say but that I had a really excellent St. Patty’s Day. The day itself started off pretty much perfectly and, really, the high of the morning just maintained its bliss throughout the rest of the holiday.
And though the day was basically spent at home, it was a day filled with sharing food and drink, a day of song and silliness. It was a good day; a really, really good day.
Oh, and did I mention food and drink? How about starting the morning off with a mighty breakfast of eggs, meats, potatoes, breads, coffee and Guinness?
Then, as the day progresses, and as I continued both steadily sampling a fair variety of Irish beers and toasting a steadily obscurer group of people, places and things, I eventually got around to making my Corned Beef and Cabbage Dinner.
And, if you’re going to be waiting around drinking while dinner cooks, you might as well have some snacks. Including some cheeses such as Hand Crafted Irish Cheddar With Porter.
And what is a traditional Irish-American St. Patty’s Day without the Corned Beef and Cabbage dinner
All-in-all, the day was filled with almost exactly what I would have wanted throughout the day.
What a great holiday.
