Did you remember that tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day? I already have my “Do Not Pinch” Green shirt set out to wear tomorrow. I even wore green today to be extra safe.
What would St. Patrick’s Day be without corned beef? I love this recipe and the beef comes out tender every time. Tomorrow I’ll have a cabbage recipe to go along with the corned beef!
I can’t let this holiday eve go by without suggesting you take a listen to “When Irish Eyes are Smiling” sung by Bing Crosby. It will keep you smiling all day long and into tomorrow!
