Ne pas Cordon Bleu -- Cordon Au'Vert!

A day late and a dollar short, but here's my entry for the St. Patrick's day feast we ate last night. Green beer, corned beef and boiled veggies, with homemade Irish Currant Loaf with lots o' butter on the side. (I don't know why the recipe for the bread isn't called Irish Soda Bread, because it's identical, aside from being half whole-wheat, and not calling for the optional caraway seeds.)



And a moment of silence in memory of Father Bleu, who would have turned 85 today.

Looks good. We had our St. Pat's feast (Boiled Dinner, as they call it here) last week. Very nice, but we didn't have the currant bread on the side. It looks delicious.

Your title reminds me of a character in a silly play I once saw, he was an Irish furniture salesman named Paddy O'Furniture.

Which also brings up an old joke I once heard: What's green abd stays out all Saint Patrick's night? Paddy O'Furniture! (Say it.)
