corned beef and cabbage - are there irish americans in your background dobie?
sorry about the fish pagan - it makes me really ill!
i'll cook it though with sweet chilli, lemon, dill and a dollop of butter.

Funny you should ask. All of the family records were lost during the war. No, not Vietnam...WWII. Anyway mom said my grandfather had orange/red hair and drank like a fish. Ergo...I like to think I'm part Irish. I'm the only one in my family that got red hair.

Oh, and I love corned beef and cabbage and spuds. I've made it twice in the last 2 weeks. Will do it again for St. Paddys Day!!

Oh, irish, please don't sweat it about the fish. I was just busting your chops. Theres plenty of other great food to cook up here. I'm liking the corned beef and cabbage and spuds idea. How about doing some boiled carrots to go with that. You girls are making me really hungry. I love talking food.

Ok I'll have a pasta dish on thursday and you can be the paddy for the day instead!

can we do a stewed fruit crumble with strawberries, pineapples, apples, rhubarb, pears and peachesand raspberries with walnuts and pecans with custard, caramel and fresh cream

That sounds wonderful irish!

Hi Pagan, Irish and Dobie...

I'm late as usual! I'll settle for left overs I haven't had corned beef and cabbage in years (my husband is a vegatarian.) Don't tell him I'll grab a plate! I'm starving!

Oh I'm here late too but I'll definitely grab a plate.

I'm not that into corned beef and cabbage, but that fish and chips and friend shrimp with malt vintager from before sounds amazing! I'll have some of the crumble afterwards too. How delicious, thanks!

I actually had leftover Chinese food for dinner today. It was pretty good, but not as good as this lounge food sounds.

Balut anyone?

Balut? What's that??

I have run out of heating oil and it won't be delivered for a few days but luckily it is not cold here at the moment - about 8 degrees celcius and at the moment the sun is pouring in my sitting rom window so it is all good. I can light the fire in here later if i need to so i won't be cold anyway. a guy is coming later, I hope to fix my electric water heater as without oil I have no way to heat water and that sucks. i hope he comes soon.
pancakes and all the fillings today with bacon on the side and lots of fresh hot toast and jam.

enjoy.

I would like to eat Japanese food today :-)

might order.

Why not just ask our personal Sushi Chef? Oh, you didn't know we had one? Just hired him!

:-)
