The only thing that we ever made was corn beef and cabbage but my mother didn't like corned beef briskets. She would always use canned corned beef (which is also what she would use to make her BBQ sandwiches - with a little bit of onion added), potatoes, carrots and onions.
ReplyDeleteI love the Irish blessing you posted. It's always been a favorite of mine. I like that recipe also. My office is having a brunch at the end of the month for all the people who have a birthday in March. The theme is Easter but I think that salad you posted would be perfect.
No special food here. The blessing sampler is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds really good. I will have to give that I try. I was suppose to make our Corned Beef and Cabbage and rolls today. But I have been in a lot of pain. I will make it tomorrow. But I think I will add this recipe to the celebration for next year. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteCertainly nothing special here. I even missed the parade.
ReplyDeleteNeedle work runs in the family and that is a lovely heirloom.
I have two of the Irish blessing stitchery. My mother made them for my brother and me. It is a treasure. I think it was a kit from Lee Wards.
ReplyDeleteWe make Irish stew and soda bread. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing the Blessing stitching.
ReplyDeleteThis is a saying that you used to see in all the souvenir shops in Ireland, and on Irish Linen Tea towels,it's a real blessing as well, Strangely, you never see this one:
ReplyDelete"May the road rise to meet you, the wind be always at your back - and may you be in Heaven, a full half an hour before the Devil knows you're dead!"
Now I think of it, that one might be a drinking toast rather than a blessing.
