Chas B. Wolfson, SASS #11104 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Happy and Blessed St. Patrick's Day. Already have the corned beef in the crock pot covered with beer. Roasted red potatoes, carrots and onions with olive oil, rosemary and sea salt. Boiled cabbage. Beer batter biscuits made with Yuengling Black and Tan. Kerry Gold Irish Butter. Washed down with Smithwicks Red Ale and Guinness Drought Stout. No room for dessert. Chas B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-BAR #18287 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Corned beef for dinner, “The Quiet Man” and a couple of glasses of Jamison’s for dessert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas B. Wolfson, SASS #11104 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Forgot to add, we shred the amount of meat to be eaten and then place it on a pan under the broiler after slow cooking in the crock pot. Just crisp the edges. Changes the whole flavor profile of the meat and you lose the boiled character. Leftovers also make great breakfast burritos. Yes they do! Chas B who forgot the Irish whiskey for dessert. Thank you J-BAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! I guess I am still okay to celebrate it as Ancestry has determined I am 21% Irish, not the 75% my folks told me I was. We’ve got corned beef and potatoes in the crockpot and I will add the cabbage later. @Chas B. Wolfson, SASS #11104 I wish I had seen your corned beef recommendation sooner. That sounds great. Thanks for the tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas B. Wolfson, SASS #11104 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 My paternal grandfather had to leave his home in the middle of the night and catch a freighter bound for New York City in 1923 because the British Army was going door to door looking for him. I don't think it was to share a few pints at the pub. Chas B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. James H. Callahan Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Happy Birthday and St. Patrick's day! And a toast to one of my best friends Paul Brennan Kelly. Among other things he taught me to reload. We always at least called each other today. And it just so happens he passed away on St. Patrick's day! Slainte!

Thanks for the tip. I did the DNA test a few years ago, didn't tell me the exact % Irish, but I'm a McDaniel on one side of the family and McMichael on the other, so I should have a good helping of Celtic blood!

LW McQuade Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Although my maternal grandparents immigrated here from Ireland they were from the north , stanch orange order and didn't celebrate St Paddy's Day which was very confusing for us as kids, but with that being said, mom would make a traditional Irish Stew with lamb, potatoes, turnips and onion sopped up with Irish soda bread which I'll be having tonight. We would have a meal similar to corned beef and cabbage (substitute thickly cut back bacon for the corned beef) on July 12th, but I'm not going open that pandora box. So for all who are celebrating , Happy St Paddy's day and those celebrating a birthday, Happy Birthday to ya. May God be with you and bless you. May you see your children’s children. May you be poor in misfortunes and rich in blessings. May you know nothing but happiness from this day forward.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe in a couple more months, they will be a great weight loss/excercise regiem! I'm Celtic (Pronounce it Keltic so you're proper and correct) around the clock, but a couple of times a tear I dress for it. This morning I got up and donned my herringbone tan pants, my pale green grandfathers shirt-of-many-tiny-buttons, an Irish vest, a Celtic designed pocket watch and chain, an eight-piece cap, and a Mr. Rogers sweater, took my genuine blackthorn walking stick and went for my last COVID injection. (JFWIW, DO NOT wear so many buttons unless you want to take a half hour for a five minute shot.) I went to a local greasy spoon and got a corned beef Reuben sandwich with lots of sauerkraut in lieu of boiled cabbage, and sat down to eat. There had been a short wait and I had made friends with very cute baby girl by telling her was a real leprechaun. A few minutes later a VERY attractive blonde separated herself from the baby's group and came over to ask me if she could sit down for a minute. I told her rather bruskly that she could NOT sit down. (Like hell I did. ) I asked what I could do for her and she said she wanted to buy my lunch because I had taken the trouble to dress up and because everyone in the place (I've been there a few times before) spoke to me as a friend. She was visiting her daughters and grand daughter from Denver. We got to talking a bit. Turns out her husband is a former Marine and currently is an air marshal and couldn't make the trip. They are considering a move to my area and she asked about guns, a subject hardly ever discuss. They own a gun shop in the Denver area that is struggling, not from lack of customers but because they can't get stock for their shelves. She gave me her phone number and asked for mine and asked if she and her husband could contact me for information and maybe call on me to guide them around when they come back to visit. I came home and in trying to help a friend find some work I accidentally made contact with a former business associate that I haven't spoken to since we moved up here, so there went another hour and a half. So far a great day and it's only quarter to five. The littlr people are looking out for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll remember this for a long time because I haven't had a great looking blonde walk up to me out of the blue since July, 1965. That's when my Irish, Scottish, French red-headed wife started scaring them away long before they got in range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Been a week ago tomorrow. She gave me her phone number. I think call her to satythanks again and inviter her and her family to come back again. They have a gun shop in Denver. Maybe I could entice them to set one up here.
