Happy St. Patricks Day! One of my favorite days. My mothers family are Irish and we always had a celebration of some sort. Every year for a while I make a habit of watching "The Secret Of Roan Inish" and "My Left Foot". My favorite Irish films. Okay, "The Quiet Man" is the best but I don't own it."Darby O"Gill and The Little People" is another good one. It used to scare me though. Making soda bread and I don't know what else. No corned beef. The Irish were too poor for beef actually. My family is not keen on lamb. Potato something. Maybe a nice pigs head like Frank Mc Courts family. I am usually reading Angelas Ashes about now but I finished it again 3 weeks ago and I have to stop with the reading of it for a while. I have a terrible thing for this book. Fact is I have to go to the library. I have read everything that interests me here. We have too many books in the house. People give them to me instead of the Goodwill. Finished The Mists Of Avalon a while back too so I'm done for a few years. That book takes alot out of me. Thinking of something totally different from my usual choices. So, don't forget to be wearin the green or you'll get a pinch. Have a wonderful GREEN day.

Happy wearin' of the green, Deb! We had our dinner a day early since Willi has to work tonight. Mmmm. We stick to corned beef and cabbage as that is what my mom always did. Maybe I need to venture out next year. Report back so I have some ideas! You are always cooking good stuff!
Happy Saint Patrick's Day to you Debi. I remember that you like reading Angela's Ashes. Have you read Mermaids Singing? I have enjoyed The Secret Of Roan Inish. When Luke was home, he would always encourage to watch an Irish movie. We enjoyed watching Waking Ned Devine at Luke's suggestion. I will leave Darby O'Gill and The Little People for the brave. Those banshees sure scared me as a child. Maybe this is the year to watch My Left Foot.
We are corned beef and cabbage people. You are right though; many of the Irish were eating mostly potatoes.
Angela's Ashes was on tv last night, and I thought of you :)
My Mum's family is irish, too...Hence the name Bridget Colleen...Yikes.
Happy St. Paddy's Day to you.
hugs xx
