Happy St. Patrick's Day

March 17th - St. Patrick's Day - Rain

What a better way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.  We fixed corned beef, potatoes,  parsnips, carrots, and onions in our crock pot this morning and let it cook all day.

Lou wanted to bake a cabbage the way Scott does them when we visit them, so we tried it and it turned out delicious.  Scott takes a whole cabbage, makes slits in it, inserts, slices of bacon, a stick of butter and adds Everglade seasoning and then he bakes it for three hours in his smoker; however, he assured us that we could bake it in the oven, and we did that today, it turned out great, just like Scott said it would.

After all of this is done, we wrapped it in several layers of aluminum foil ready to insert into the oven.

Ready for the oven
We baked it in the oven at 350 degrees for three hours.

For dessert, I fixed strawberry shortcake and after the dishes were done we watched The Quiet Man, the perfect movie for St. Patrick's Day.  I can thank Sue and Tim for the movie.  I told Susie that one St. Patrick's Day we wanted to watch the movie and couldn't find it on television and our DVD was at home, so that year she got me a new one for my birthday, so we keep this copy in the RV and each year after that we have enjoyed it at this time of the year.

Tomorrow we are going to drive to Frostproof, FL to meet up with four other couples that we know to have a picnic with them.  I made a strawberry pie to take with us and we are all looking forward to this time of fellowship.
