Mar 17 - Home

Well this is an easy one - St Patrick's Day and here in the US - National Corned Beef and Cabbage Day!!

 Now while I would prefer bacon and cabbage it is not easy to find so I really have no choice. Also I refuse to face any of the pubs in the area tonight so thankfully the cafeteria at work has it on today no parsley sauce though :(

As most know corned beef is not something we eat in Ireland and def not on St. Patricks Day - very interesting article on the history by The Smithsonian Mag : Is Corned Beef Really Irish
