        Miz Wee, looks like the time has slipped over into afternoon here in the PDT zone…so, I’ll be wishin’ ye a…Tráthnóna maith (Traw-no-na mah).

        Just discovered this, too…”The word ‘Gaelic’ in English derives from Gaeilge which is the word in Irish for the language itself. However, when English is being used, the Irish language is conventionally referred to as ‘Irish’, not ‘Gaelic’.”

    If you’re feeling nostalgic and have the time, here’s a 1948 black and white comedy starring Tyrone Power and Anne Baxter entitled….”The Luck Of the Irish”…for your viewing pleasure….

    Enjoy!

    Mornin’ all ya’all! Coolish and humid, breezy. Big storms coming in a couple of hours, likely to rain for about 5 hours. My house won’t flood, but there is a low place down the road which will fill and stay too high to drive through for the rest of the day.

      Mornin’, czarina. I’m probably labeled a heretic, but I will have to go with the corned beef all by itself. Cabbage and I don’t get along so well. But I’ll eat the beef all day long.

    Few things are as delicious as a Guinness beef stew. This one has dumpling with fresh herbs, so you don’t even need that Guinness bread recipe I was going to share!

    Better get started now, in my opinion, beef stews only get good after a long, long cooking time. If you really want to up the flavor, throw in some oxtail.

    Here’s to the Irish, and their bold and courageous saint. God bless us all!

    Our Favorite Sunday Columnist has a few thoughts on the “ruling” that came out of Fulton County this week, and it’s pretty much what you might think. Pretty much pretzel logic is her summation. For those unaware, Clarice was a high-flying barrister beginning back in the late 1960’s, so she’s pretty up-to-date on all things legal.

    Yikes! I’ve got a granddaughter the same age as this young lady. I don’t think it would be a good idea to let her ride a motorcycle, let alone one that will top out over 175 mph!

    I’ll be the first to admit I don’t pay a lot of attention to the happenings in India, but this got my attention. New citizenship laws exclude Muslims. Let us wait for the howls from our Congress telling them how to run their Country.

      In 1947 India was partitioned into Pakistan for Muslims and India for Hindus. The feelings must still run to this division, and this law for new arrivals would naturally flow that way. Not unexpected the Hindu majority would want to maintain their power.

      Have you ever made choux pastry? I’m dying to try it, but since I shouldn’t eat it, I shouldn’t make it!

        I haven’t, no. And I really want to try to keep limiting my sweets after Lent as well. So, probably not going to try it anytime soon, although I do have some plans for a few Easter treats.

          Haven’t had any sweets since Christmas. I limit my “sweets” to fruit with breakfast – either berries or cantaloupe with cottage cheese or farmer’s cheese. Sometimes I have strawberries or cantaloupe chunks with cheese as a snack.

          I do eat the odd potato, sweet potato or squash!

      St Joseph’s Day is March 15, and St Patrick’s Day is March 17. Both are huge in New Orleans, having so many immigrants from Ireland and Italy. Parades are held for both together. St Joseph altars are created, displayed and then handed out to the visitors and the poor.
