St Patricks Day 2021 started off with the Glue fixing our traditional corned beef and potatoes last Wednesday We don't normally do the cabbage. She does really good corned beef and this year was no exception and it seemed better than most years.
On Friday we went for a short ride around the marina and on to the spillway that was really coming down. We went down by fountain bluff to check out the wildfire damage but we couldn't see any of the burnt areas. We came back to Whiffleboys for a pitcher of Amberbock, pizza and wings. The pizza was good and the wings really hit the spot. They were still out of the italian wings so we got a pound of plain and a pound of asian ginger. Both were very good and I think I preferred the plain. I really like Whiffleboys indoor area, nice place to enjoy a cold beer with some good food. A very good 🍺🍺🍺🍺. Saturday was the big celebration at Brews Brothers. I started off the day by making hash with some of the left over corned beef. It turned out pretty good for a first time attempt at it. I'm sure it was helped out a lot by the Glue chopping the potatoes, garlic and onions the night before and working some of her magic on it. Later that morning the grandtwins came over for a while so we took them out to the spillway. They love the spillway but it was so high but there weren't a lot of rocks for them to throw in. We headed up to Brews Brothers for the celebration. We debated about entering the Irish Stew contest right up until the last minute but had decided against it. The weather cooperated and I regretted not getting in the contest several times during the day but the beer quantity may have had something to do with it. They had tricycle races this year so I raced the grandtwins and after a grueling two lap race I came in third. Then the fun started when I was trying to get off the tricycle. After floundering for a bit my daughter came to my rescue and helped me up. My classmate Barb was kind enough to film the floundering and put it on facebook. Later on Bailey and Shad raced each other and of course Bailey won but neither of them struggled to get off the way I did. What a great day. On Sunday Lisa fixed her famous Irish Stew. She'd made a few changes and I think it was her best ever and the Irish Beer Bread tasted great. I hope she remembers what she did different for next time. All in all a great weekend.
