Today's big plans are to make The Mister's favorite dinner. He gets antsy if he doesn't have a corned beef in the freezer when March rolls around. All of his life he's been under the impression that he's Irish but his DNA is decidedly German/Swiss. The Irish name he carries around is a remnant of one long ago Irish dude who hopped a boat over here but then married a German lady. This scenario repeated itself over and over through many generations until the familial Irish DNA was less than 2%, poor guy. I keep telling him there's always Oktoberfest.
Happy St Patrick's Day and may the force be with you!
Hope the Mister enjoyed his corned beef dinner. Ours was wonderful!
ReplyDeleteMy poor husband doesn't get corned beef and cabbage (which he loves) because I'm not a big fan, so I'm wondering what the raisins are for? Maybe I would like it better with raisins!
ReplyDeleteSoda bread. I always add raisins and caraway seeds to mine.
DeleteHappy St. Patricks Day!
ReplyDeleteI was surprised at the small percentage of Irish in me, too. I did enjoy reading about my ancestry and picturing the migration from Sweden through Germany and eventually to England! Yes, today we are all Irish! Have fun.
ReplyDeleteI"m Irish by marriage! Happy St. Paddy's day!
ReplyDeleteGrogu! Loving him is the way.
