I was busy all day, with Avon stuff, then the usual home-stuff later on.
We had our corned beef and cabbage, peas, and fried potatoes. I fry my potatoes in bacon grease, and they are yummy! I know....that's not exactly 'healthy cooking', but it sure does taste good! Besides, we don't exactly have them all that often, so it's ok!
I didn't wear green today--the way I see it, I'm Irish all year, so I don't have to wear green March 17th.
For that matter, we eat corned beef and cabbage whenever the mood strikes! It's a favorite comfort food--something we ate often when I was growing up.
Corned beef and cabbage isn't actually "Irish" -- it's Irish-American. I remember as a child, my Granny said that in the old country, they were more likely to celebrate holidays with ham or a bacon joint with their potatoes and cabbage.
Hope it was a good day for all, whether there's a drop of Irish blood in your veins or not!

I'm glad you had a good day.. It was a pretty good one around here too, nice and quiet for me.
We are like you, we eat corned beef when we want to.. it's just not a big deal to eat it on St Paddy's Day for me.
