Happy St. Patty's Day to you too, NearTheSea.
I'm going to enjoy a St. Patty's day feast with friends both tonight and this weekend. Both are Irish and celebrate the holiday in a *grand manner* each and every year. Lot's of good eats and an Irish movie in one gentleman's home theatre.

Oh yeah , just to let ya know, I know your dying too LOL!!
I bake the corned beef wrapped in cabbage with one bottle of Mickeys. (my grandmother and mother would always boil it, but found its really good this way) Then we have boiled red potatos, cabbage, carrots, and Irish soda bread. OK I cheated and bought the soda bread
My mother and grandmother would be rolling over here, because they always made their own, and this was a huge holiday for them... first Mass, of course!

Quote from Sean O'Casey, Irish playwright:
"It is me rule never to lose me temper till it detrimental to keep it."
May the laughter and love of the Irish be with everyone day!! (PS: Near I always hated the smell of cabbage cooking. But a good tender corned beef sandwhich could seem close to heaven on a cold march day

NTS - Not being Irish....all I can say is it's a form of mashed potatoes. But with a special 'liquid ' in them. yum, yum.
One of these two friends does the traditional cornbeef and cabbage, but this gentleman tells us his [I'll call them] Irish sausage and these 'different' mashed potatoes are truly the traditional Irish meal. They each kid each other over who's really the true Irish 'traditionalist'. It's funny to listen to them.
On the soda bread...mades me remember our thread on recipes for different types.
