What else? Corned beef, cabbage, and carrots. No potatoes here, though. !

on edit: on my way home, I stopped for a cassava. It is similar to potato but the blood sugar rise from it is even; doesn't spike.

I quit potatoes because someone on DU (a long time ago) posted a blood sugar reading after having potato salad. Yikes! After that I dropped potatoes from the grocery list.

Cassava is actually better than potatoes IMHO. I cube them and saute in olive oil. They brown better than potatoes, too. I love them. First learned about cubed cassava potatoes at some restaurant the RG and I dined in a few years ago.

Off to peel my cassava!

2. Nowhere here to get Paddy's day food,

So we went to our fav Mex restaurant for lunch.

Mondays are. BOGO ginormous baked potato with grilled chx &/or steak, onions, peppers & cheese sauce. Omg it's so good!

3. Sorry about lack of potatoes. Friend brought 'imitation' Irish stew,

sure needs HELP!!! Made with chix, and seems to have NO SALT at ALL!!!

Irish Coffee TOMORROW, I HOPE!!!

4. Non traditional Irish-Anglo

The English canned Heinz beans on toast topped with an over medium fried egg on top.
Hot decafe tea.

5. Colcannon and corned beef

no carrots here though.

I'm not any part Irish, but colcannon is a magical food that is more than the sum of its parts.

6. Loretta's homemade split pea soup with ham

and a small toss salad.

Strawberry jello with a teaspoon of cool whip before bedtime.

Good Evening

7. Bacon and cabbage, also with potatoes, carrots and onions.

Irish bacon is lovely stuff. This is the first time I've also served the traditional parsley white sauce.

And of course, Guinness.

8. Cabbage, Carrots and Potatoes

Steamed cabbage and sliced carrots, air-fried red potato nuggets, with air-fried crispy tofu tossed in Carolina style bbq sauce. As close as I could get to a traditional Irish dinner. Homemade shortbread cookies made with Miyoko’s butter and whole wheat flour for dessert. Cheers! 🍻

9. My kiddo is in Italy so we're waiting on the corned beef ...

I thawed some lovely crab legs from Greenland LOL and did a small boil for the hub and I with last year's sweet corn, beef kielbasa and some potatoes. Very yummy. I'm sure my daughter is eating amazing pasta as I type. LOL

[QED]

10. Didn't want to cook or deal with crowds so...

I settled for a reuben at Arby's. Not bad really - and because I was wearing a St. Patrick's Day shirt she only charged me $4.

11. a Reuben

and a St. Paddy's day shirt meets my criteria for an Irish celebration!

I am so looking forward to a Reuben tomorrow. It's like the after TG turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce.

12. grilled ham steak

corn
buttered beets

brownie for dessert


(We had our corned beef on Sunday)
