St Pats Day Food

[leechlake]

I don't even know why I'm posting this because it's food related and within 7 posts it will be about favorite colors of the rainbow or some other non related topic.  By the way my favorite color is red.  

Anyway...we're having a pressure cooker chuck roast tonight.  I'm going to leave the grill on, set up the pressure cooker, give the dog that knife she was eating, but since I'm saving water now I can put the fire(s) out without using any more water than we did last month.  My problem is tomorrow we're having corned beef and frankly I'm a little disappointed since I planned this this morning and it's a terrible plan.  Maybe I will make reuben's instead so we're not doubling up too close.

Btw- I just notice it's about 60 days til walleye opener.  I say about 60 because BB is keeping track different than the Saturday opener, there is the real Saturday opener, and some people I've heard like to do a little Friday "crappie" fishing opener too.  Hopefully I will have new tires by then.

No plans for St Pat's day food. Maybe a frozen pizza!

Just saw this so I think I'll give it a try tomorrow, they r called totchos. Tater tots with nacho topping on them, good and fattening

After corned beef and cabbage, I will be participating in the sheep dog trials...

Maybe some Scottish folks can post some good old Scottish food ideas so we know where to start?

I thought it was a Drinking Holiday?

Let's not confuse the Scottish with the Irish, please....  How about a nice, plump Haggis? I'm sure Dotch can supply us with the primary parts......and I'll bet RH could whip us up a nice Black Pudding.

So, your saying the Bar's will not be full to the brim with Scottish and non-Scottish people all dressed in Green just to party filling urinals tonight!

[RebelSS]

Don't remember saying anything about that....3/4 of them probably have no idea of their heritage.  "I came from California"...  "Green beer and fish tacos, ya, baby!!"  

I know my cuz in St. Paul is probably already downtown drinking green beer and eating the green pancakes at O'Gara's......as they say, on St Pat's day, "everyone is Irish for a day".

10 posts and LL dint hijack his own thread!!!! apparently no irish food or drink for me. I have to work till 9 ish tonite!!!!!!!!!

no real loss though!

My favorite color is green today but usually it is blue.  We are still on topic since color was mentioned in LL's opening statement.  I have been wanting to try a chuck roast in my new pressure cooker.  My Grandma used to do it and they were great.  Those totchos look pretty darn good.  That is a good idea.  Corned beef at our house of course.

LL is going bowling with the kids and then we're having corned beef.  Mrs LL is going out with some friends.  We call that abandoning the family around these parts

Smurfy's favorite color is blue; today it's green.  Wonder how he looks with a green hat?   Corned beef sounds darned good to me. With lotsa cabbage.

Looks like I'm having BBQ'd ribs and sweet taters....

[eyeguy 54]

will enjoy some more of the tri tip from last night.   

[leechlake]

wearing green today is the same as wearing red on Valentines Day.  It's what women do.  I nearly put a green shirt on this morning and then purposely didn't.  Frankly, if you're wearing green today you are wearing a costume.  The only rational for a man wearing green today would be to suck up to his significant other in the hopes for...

I mean the above in good humor...kind of

LL felt a smidge of clothing controversy today, so he grabbed his putter and headed  to the range....

...and wore a shade of green anyway, just to be safe....

[leechlake]

Reb I have pretty much every pair of obnoxious colored golf shorts imaginable including some with bright green clover leaves on them.  I could post many photos of me in them also.  Sometimes when I'm heading to golf I have realized I have to stop at the gas station before and I change my clothes first.  I certainly wouldn't be caught in public wearing what I normally wear on the golf course.  

[RebelSS]

I kinda like the shoes. Sort of a Smurf-formal thing.

 not goofy enough to golf! who  there right mind would want to go hit some little ball as far as they can then go chase it????????????

[leechlake]

you golf so you have another reason to hang out with your buddies.  If you golf with your wife too often you're a "Wife Golfer" and that's not good.
