Corned beef and cabbage is good stuff. Especially with vinegar on top. Due to our irish heritage, my family always has corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's Day. I'm really bummed because although my mom awesomely made it for the fam on Sunday night, Ben, Spence, and Will were unable to attend (due to the ever present ex-factor). I was determined to make it yesterday and I didn't. As the fat guy in Fiddler on the Roof said, "Without tradition, we are as shaky as a fiddler on the roof." Hmmm. . . that makes me want a shake.
On second thought, I think the boys couldn't care less, they don't know what they're missing. Rather than obsess further, I shall eat me a shake today, and stress about it next year. Thanks for the idea fat guy.

Were you honestly up at 3:57 in the morning writing this post? Wow, you really are pregnant!
Rochelle,
I'm totally with you on this one. I wait all year for St. Patrick's day to make corned beef and cabbage. No one but me in my family likes it--my husband will eat it 'cause it's dinner, but all three of my kids turn their noses up at it.
This year I searched for a different recipe and I found this awesome one that mixes mashed potatoes and cabbage and corned beef altogether and it was amazing. I think that might be our new St. Patrick's day dinner. Yum!

I didn't even get a shake. It's just not fair. Bwah-ha-ha :(
Well, that's a pretty healthy attitude about it. Traditions are important but not if the time spent prepping and stressing over shadows the tradition. There IS always next year.
