Happy Feast of St. Joseph!

The advantage of having two days between the Feast of St. Patrick and the Feast of St. Joseph is that you have a couple of days to recover from the corned beef and cabbage before you have to (it's required in Canon Law, folks) chow down on yummy pasta and fruit fritters fried in olive oil.

We have less time because our parish had its St. Pat's dinner last night. It was fun, and the food was tolerable in a sort of once-a-year way. The corned beef seemed a bit closer to pastrami, and the cabbage was quite tasty. Boiled potatoes, on the other hand... well, if they are waxy potatoes and are boiled in stock, that is one thing, but a boiled russet is another matter. Even the former don't do all that much for me. Melanie loves potatoes, but I could take them or leave them.

So, have a happy feast of St. Joseph!
