Started the day with the St. Pat's Day parade from Philadelphia on the TV. It was pretty dull, as if it was thrown together as it was televised, actually more boring than televised golf. Mostly, I don't care about St.Pat's, but corned beef is cheap this time of year, so I bought a slab. It came out beautfully, accompanied by my friends recipe for cabbagle Norwegian style (cream sauce with nutmeg), and an Irish soda bread that I made from scratch. It was my first attempt, and I'm proud of the result. Creamed corned beef on home-made biscuits for breakfast the next morning. It was a good weekend.
