The Irish-style corned beef stands waiting, tender as a Mother's breast. The potatoes cool slightly, firming, awaiting peeling and the blessing of the butter and parsley. The cabbage brightens briefly to a more vibrant Green as it boils, to let us know that it, too, wishes it were Irish. ;) Wonderful smells waft the air. Olfactory anticipation, the mouth is drenched in expectation.

The Black Bush was wonderful, sharp, but sweet on the back of the tongue. I do think I'll splurge today and have another.

The Chieftans prepare us for our repast, and a fine Irish lass will sing to us as we dine of both the joy and sadness that is our heritage.

A good day to celebrate the Blessing of having Irish blood course your veins! Aye, good indeed.

My best wishes to you all today! :)


Postscript: Here's to my fine Riley lass for a wonderful meal. She sure can cook. Thanks, Nanc! It was great. All my Love.....
 
the irish blood in my veins is longing for a st patty's day green guinness. will be filling my stomach with it here soon.
 
Even the lowliest Irish, wax poetic, on St. Patrick's Day. I new we could

depend on you, Mike, for some fine verse. Made me kind of "":("" Misty :o

I think I'll go drink another, not green, beer.

i didnt find any green guinness but i did have my fill of normal guinness at the bar and yes wearing green. i had a camo shirt on but a kind lady gave me one of her ribbons and tied it around my cowboy hat and the ends were about 6 inches long and trailed out the back. an irish cowboy. go figure.......... :D
 
An Irish Blessing:

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields
And, until we meet again
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

amen

And a wee joke 'bout the Guiness:

An Irishman, Englishman and Scottsman go into a pub
and each order a pint of Guinness. Just as the bartender
hands them over, three flies buzz down and one lands in each
of the pints.

The Englishman looks disgusted, pushes his pint away
and demands another pint.

The Scottsman picks out the fly, shrugs, and takes a long swallow.

The Irishman reaches in to the glass, pinches the fly between
his fingers and shakes him while yelling, "Spit it out, ya bastid!
Spit it out!"

:D
 
The meal that Fitzo mentioned is by far one of my favorites! If there's one part of me thats Irish its got to be my belly..... :D
 
I was gone and busy most of the day saturday and missed this. Ya tryin to make us cry Mike? :)

Hope everyone had a good St Paddy's Day.
 
I am about 1/4 Irish (Felts and Hanleys) and I figure it's probably my nether regions-that's what contributes the most to the smellin' o' the green after corned beef and cabbage...
