It’s St. Paddy’s Day weekend! This is a big deal, at least for me, because I am Irish.

Last year was a little bit of a bust. I made some corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots as well as served my mother’s award winning soda bread, and only about 3 people could make it.

I’ve have been trying to re-create my family’s tradition of having a yearly Irish feast, and this year it looks like I’ve done it. I can’t tell you the recipe because it’s an ancient Irish secret, but it involves a mustard glaze and braising the meat for a minumum of 4 hours. The cabbage and potatoes and carrots are then boiled in the same water you pre-boil the corned beef in. Meaty! It’s definately a meal worth celebratring.

I just found out good friend Gabe Liedman will be in attendanceand we had a little chat about how this is the sort of meal that will make all the boys fall in love. Our chitty chat after the jump.

Gabe: im in for briskets now
if its not too late
me:  OH YAY!
cool!
man, I am going to need three briskets
this will be awesome
Gabe:  hahahahahaha
thats what he said?
not really
thats what she (a catholic mom) said?
me:  hahahaha
that’s what the catholic priest said?
that’s what the leprechaun said?
Gabe:  MORE BRISKETS!
me:  corned brisket sounds like it should be slang for a warty vagina
Gabe:  hahahahahahahahahahha yep
me:  Lots of cute boys are coming I think
but nothing is going on with any of them, so it’s not awks that they might all convene
Gabe:  they can have a brisket eat-off
me:  omg
PLEASE
while they eat I will whisper in their ears “eat it… yeah, that’s right. good boy”
“show me how much you like that brisket”
Gabe:  “good boy”!!!!
hahahahahahahaha
cabbage is gonna give everyone the farts
which is perf
me:  love it!
me:  ug, we will all be farty and bloated
what a great way to get someone to fall in love with you
Gabe:  i’m really at my best when im all beef-brine dehydrated and holding in 12 farts
so no worries
im gonna bag me a nice irish fellow who doesnt understand why im so hairy

St. Patrick’s Day is basically like Valentine’s Day with farts, right?
