Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Ok, 1 chance to guess what we had for dinner tonight....

OF COURSE, it was corned beef and cabbage. Cooked in the slow cooker all day long (broiled with Brie'ns special sauce - super yummy by the way Bri!) and fresh baked beer bread hot out of the oven! Gosh I love Saint Patrick's Day! Every year I buy an extra package of corned beef (it's cheap this time of year) to make another Patty's Day meal at some other time but I NEVER end up doing it. I don't know what it is about this time of the year that just makes it taste better but we usually end up with just one corned beast a year.

Now granted it is not the Saint Patrick's Day of my younger years - you know, Up & Up burgers and green Busch Ice, but it'll do!

Every year I buy the kids St. Patty's Day shirts. This morning Logan got dressed, came into my room and said, "Mom, what does my shirt say?" "Kiss Me I'm Irish," I tell him. He stops, puts his hand on his shirt and gives me "the look." Then he says, "I'm putting tape over this today. I DO NOT want anybody to kiss me!" Ahhh, little boys. I know the time will come shortly when he'll be DYING to have somebody kiss him. I'm happy to have the cute, funny little boy that runs from me when I try to give him a kiss!
