We have some friends who celebrate being Irish by making corned beef and cabbage for St. Patrick's day.
So, today I celebrated St. Pat's by: putting on a green shirt, eyeshadow, and earrings; heading to the grocery store; and buying my own corned beef and cabbage.
It was so beautiful out today. I was inspired to accomplish something! I came home with my groceries, opened up all the downstairs windows, put on my apron and dug in.
Here are some of the fixins: cabbage, onions and garlic. Potatoes eventually made their way into the pot too.
And this was the final product, which we ate in pie plates b/c my husband was concerned about how juicy it was.
My friend Heidi and I went ahead and dyed some cake batter last year for this festive occasion. I think I'm going to make it an annual tradition.
This was also delicious!
I hope you had as much fun on St. Patrick's day as I did. If not, let this be your inspiration for next year!
p.s. If you can't tell, I love cooking! Not quite as much as taking pictures, but it is high up there on my list of things to do. Expect future posts...
