Get over it

This was posted on FB by someone,

"Am I the only one who takes offense to a celebration that glorifies the squashing of a 5000 year religion, by a group of men bent on world domination?"

All I would be interested in, is Corned Beef and Cabbage. Not the politics. Looks like the SF Eagle(according to FB or their website) is not serving that tonight? Marlena's is doing a celebration (but don't think I want to go to Marlena's, again).

Years ago when I live in Redwood City, and Harry's Hofbrau was owned by the original owners (the parents, not the children), food used to be very, very good. If you did not want to cook at home, a visit there for a delicious Corned Beef and Cabbage on this day was a very deserved treat.

Since I ate enough Corned Beef and Cabbage for 3-4 last Sunday (had my once a year fix), I will probably nix the whole thing and just go to the gym, eat at home, and watch AI. But then again, me being a last minute person, plans may change instantly :)

you can pretty much choose any number of "holidays" that are at least tangentally rooted in the death of some group... all the independence days... 4th of July... Mexican Independence, Columbus Day... even Lincoln's birthday (hello, how many people died under his command?)... are made on the deaths of sides that were both fighting for and against it all somehow. So, I guess your facebook buddy who is against St Paddy's prolly shouldn't celebrate any of the holidays out there they all seem to have been the causes of some sort of death and mayhem LOL

Me... I want a shamrock shake and some corned beef LOL

Another thing I miss, good corned beef. Days when I wonder if this diet thing is really worth it.

Ah! But they always say, if on a diet reward yourself! So go eat corned beef!

Tempting, but probably not (vegetarian)
