Erin go braugh to all who celebrate. I made our traditional corned beef & cabbage dinner on Saturday night—and we had the leftovers last night. The brisket (about 3 lbs.) cost $27…but since I am assured that prices are coming down, I must have been dreaming that outrageous price.
And back at you and all others checking in (or not). The first time in nearly half a century food for me yesterday and today is chili (these days vegetarian) made with Lawry’s chili mix..which seems to me to taste at very least very similar to what it was when it was the family favorite in New England from ’69 to ’79…and possibly was avaialble in Hawaii ’79-84…but definitely was thin on the ground in the Mid Atlantic for some reason till popping up in one or another of the local markets finally the other week.
We’ve had run-ins with drunk cops in Midtown Manhattan on past St. Patrick’s Days, but South Florida seems to be pretty mellow in a corned beef & cabbage kind of way. Actually, I think today will be a fried shrimp, boiled potatoes and Mac & cheese day for me. After yesterday’s torrential downpours, it’s cooled down from 83 to the low 60s, so good luck with below zero, George.
George, is that you? The little Irish leprechaun with a large pot of potatoes at the end of a rainbow? All best to you and Diane on this glorious day!
Jerry, today is glorious if you like temperatures below ZERO and a couple of inches of snow on the ground. May the Luck of the Irish be with you, too!

Brisket trade impeded in the Strait of Hormuz…or possibly Hormel.
Todd, I’ve often visited the Strait of Hormel for some tasty treats! Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you!

Deb, my snarky students used to wear buttons that read ERIN GO BRA-LESS on St. Patrick’s Day. And, they also drank a lot of green beer…
