We're having corned beef and cabbage with an actual Irish person tonight.

[trof]

Well, 1/2 Irish, anyway.
Her mom was English.
But that's close enough for me.
She's making the cb&c.
We're bringing the spuds.

Question: Is it OK to drink Scotch whiskey on St. Patrick's Day?
I don't want to offend, but I don't think Irish whiskey will be available.

That's kind of Irish, right?

[trof]

4. Throw in a few drops of green food coloring, just to be on the safe side.

3. So are we. Well, kind of.

Corned beef and potatoes. No cabbage. And it's with an actual Irish person, my mother. 100%, from Limerick.

[trof]

5. Say hello to your mam.

That's what one of my 100% Irish friends calls her 'mom'.

6. I had corned beef and cabbage by myself

with a bit of Killian's Irish Red added to tenderize the corned beef.

7. Well, Scotland was actually settled by the Dalriada Clan.

They ran the Picts out of western Scotland, so, technically every Gael in Scotland is descended from Eire, so Scotch is an Irish invention.

Guinness for me tonite. Slainte Mhath!

8. I'm watching Monarch of the Glen with a Maccallan 12

13. That's a relief. BTW, haven't had a Guinness in years.

Used to fly with a bunch of Irish guys and really developed a taste for it.

9. I cooked corned beef and made boxty

And we had Irish soda bread. And coleslaw for the cabbage.

[trof]

10. Boxty on the griddle,

Boxty in the pan,

If you can't make boxty,

You'll never get a man.

I had to look it up.
Sounds good.

11. We had enchiladas

:D

12. I'm an actual 75% Irish person...why was I not invited???????

[trof]

14. Didn't think you could make it in time.

Or had time to make plane reservations.
And I wasn't the host, anyway.
But I'm sure Tishy would have invited you if she had known you'd like to be there.
She's very accommodating that way.

15. After Action Report: It was a good party...except...

For the retired FBI agent who still thinks J. Edgar was a giant among men and a hell of a crime fighter.
If you guessed he's a rignt-winger, you'd be right.
:eyes:

Anyway, outside of that creep Miz t. I had a great time.
Was nursing just a teeny hangover this a.m.
Getting all better now.
Hair of the dog and all that.
