St. Patrick's Day

I'm not Irish (Obviously) and I don't drink beer, but I've always enjoyed St. Patrick's Day!

When I was growing up, one of our special treats of the year was when my Mom would make Corned Beef & Cabbage for St. Patrick's Day dinner (a Chinese tradition, don't you know). We always loved it, and I don't think I've had it in several years.

I was grocery shopping the other day and noticed that corned beef & cabbage were both on sale - for obvious reasons. I thought, "Why not!" and bought all of the essential ingredients. I came home, and sent an email to my mom asking:

"How do you make Corned Beef & Cabbage?"

I was actually at her house Tuesday evening, and she was making it, so it was helpful to be able to watch first-hand. Turns out it's pretty easy, and just takes time.

I knew I had an appointment today at the gallery, so I didn't know whether or not I'd have enough time to make dinner tonight. Instead, I decided to make it yesterday. It turned out GREAT, and was everything I remembered. Dick said he really enjoyed it, too, so it looks like I'll carry on the tradition of making this an annual meal! :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
