Hi Noel!

I'm not cooking this year. My house is for sale and a lot of my kitchen stuff is packed away.

Can I come over?

I wish you could

I didn't know you were moving... will you be staying in the same state? Don't answer that if it's best not to.

Yep. I'm staying in the same state. I am just moving into a place without so much yard to take care of and not being a homeowner any more. I'll be a renter! I'm going to a beautiful condo and a smaller town just on the outskirts of Scottsdale.

Congratulations, Terry, on your new condo! An exciting change

I've been to Scottsdale (and Phoenix), that's a beautiful area.

I am jealous ...... I read about your nails......AWESOME! My DD has been celebrating all weekend ... she married a pure Irishman. I feel sorry for him.

Thanks, Predsfan, I had fun coming up with the nails.

Hey, maybe you can get some ideas for an Irish dinner from your DD. I do a German dinner for Oktoberfest, maybe we can get together on that one

Hi everyone,

Guinness stew is ready. We should be eating soon. Hubby, who is 100% Irish, is set to walk in the door any moment.

I also have Irish soda bread to share.

For dessert....Bailey's Coffee......coffee, Baileys and Irish whiskey.

Enjoy your evening.

Donna! Happy St. Patrick's Day to you and your hubby! Guinness stew sounds delicious. I've got Jamesons and Baileys and am set to act as bartender.

I'm excited for the change.

I just cook dinner for me most of the time, so nothing special. I took a turkey breast out of the freezer this morning, that I saved from the turkey I made on Thanksgiving (of course I vacuum sealed it, so it's still good).

That will feed me for about a week. ha! Then just add some pasta or a veg and I'm good.

Hope your dinner comes out wonderfully!

I have the corned beef in the crock pot and will start the potatoes shortly. I'm intrigued with the roasted potatoes/onion wedges-

This is the first time using the crock pot. Cleanup will be so much easier with the liners-

I just put my corned beef in the pot to soak first. Gets rid of some of the salt. Then will have regular ole boiled corned beef, pototoes, cabbage, carrots and onions. We love this dinner and have a few times a year. Not just for St. Patrick's Day.

We did have corned beef, cabbage, potatoes and carrots as well. Last year I cooked the corned beef in the oven and I really did like it but I also like the way the veggies taste when you boil them in the corned beef water so this year I switched back to that. Very good. I actually want to do it in the crock pot but I started too late in the day this year.

Your new town has such gorgeous scenery, terry, but still close in. I'm happy you are able to make the move.

ITA.

It was good, but not as good as the old favorite New England boiled dinner. I got great little red potatoes called creamers, which I do every St. P. day... they're much better boiled, too.

Our next experiment will be trying the corned beef in a slow cooker, but I won't wait a year to experiment.
