In the past we have always had a 'green' meal on St. Patty's Day but this year I wanted to go a little more traditional. I looked up the ever trusty allrecipes.com website where the featured cuisine in America is corned beef and cabbage. My first thought was yuck. I decided on an Irish Stew with Soda bread. I love a thick stew. Later I walked over to a friend's house. She happens to be Irish on both sides. I suggested getting together on the 17th (hoping she would make dessert, she makes lovely desserts). I casually mentioned that the thought of corned beef and cabbage makes me run for the nearest fast food restaurant. She was astounded. She was appalled. She stated that I have never before had her corned beef and cabbage. We then got out her Irish cook books and looked up desserts. Turns out the Irish like Trifle. We decided to just go ahead and make everything. After all, your only Irish once a year.
Anyone else have plans for St. Patrick's Day?
