I think a nice milk stout is appropriate for the day...

You're early. St Patrick's day is tomorrow.

The wife is making a stout cake tomorrow. I won't be drinking green beer tomorrow but I will be at a place where a number of good beers will be consumed.
And I am part Irish!

I'm part Viking, with that coming down from both the Britannia and Continental European sides of my genealogy. So there is probably Irish/Viking hybrid in there somewhere.

In any case I am making colcannon today, because it's yummy.

Most of you know that Stouts really aren’t my beer of choice, but this has been in my fridge for way too long. It’s about time to dispose of it. I think it’s a pretty good one, kind of reminds me of 5w 20 motor oil!!!

I made corned beef and cabbage in the crock pot. I usually add potatoes, but I'm trying to cut down on carbs, so I just used cabbage, carrots and onions.

As an aside, corned beef isn't a traditional Irish dish. The Irish raised cattle more for milk than meat, and the beef they did get was used for export. The Irish who came to America learned about corned beef from Jewish families who lived in the same area (both groups were fairly poor). The corned beef was used as more of a flavoring for the cabbage than for the beef. In Ireland they had used bacon, but bacon was far more expensive in the US.
