St. Patrick's Day Weekend and an Event

 It is St. Patrick's Weekend in this city and the festivities are underway.  There were drunk green people out at 8:00 am.  This totally confuses Teddy.  She does not like the noise one bit.

 There is green to be found everywhere.


Everyone in this town is Irish for the weekend.  Except maybe me.  I just don't get it.  It seems to be nothing more than an excuse to get sloppy drunk for days.
I have begun cooking for my daughter's next event in DC.  We are making marinated flank steaks for one of the appetizers.  This is a fabulous recipe if you have not yet tried it. you can find the recipe here:  http://octoberfarm.blogspot.com/search?q=flank+steak

I have made this recipe many times over 40 years and no matter how much I make there is never any left.
This will be my daughter's last event because, I am happy to say, she is about to start a new job.
She was not even looking for one but was spotted by someone and offered the job of a lifetime.

This is her dream job and I wish her all the best with her new venture.  For her privacy I won't say more but believe me she is beyond excited!

We use it as an excuse to get sloppy drunk in California too! We have our corned beef and cabbage ready to go. This year we are going to try your corned beef hash if we have leftovers.

Congrats to Your daughter for her new job :-)

I think most swedes take any holliday to become sloppy drunk :-) But St. Patricks day here, too few catholics here I guess.

I can fully understand Teddy, green noisy people would make me confused too :-)

Have a great day!

TEDDY I saw lots of pups down at our St. Patrick's Day parade. But all that music and noise was frustrating them too. The festivities will be over before you know it. The dream job sounds intriguing and the flank steak looks delicious.

Oh, how exciting to hear such good news about your daughter!

I have to agree with Teddy. I just don't understand the green drunks, either.

Try to find some time for yourself this week-end.:-)

Congratulations to your daughter! I'm sure she deserves some great luck. I just have to thank you again for your wonderful recipes. I'm really not what anyone would consider a great cook, but everything I've made from your recipes is stunning! Thank you so much.

I agree about St. Patrick's Day. It just gave me a chance to try your recipe!!Congratulations to your daughter!!
People have been/will be celebrating St. Paddy's day for 3 days because it's on a Sunday - beyond crazy! We did have our corned beef & cabbage with 10 people at our cottage. It was beyond delicious and lots of fun to be with good friends & family!

Congrats to your daughter!

Congrats on your daughter's new job!

And unless someone was handing me a key lime cheesecake today, I wasn't in the Irish mood. Maybe next year.
Yeah, for so many people, a St. Patrick's Day WEEKEND is just an excuse for getting "sossssssed" all weekend. Ugh...

Poor Teddy.

Hooray for your daughter!

Husband has been making a flank steak recipe for years. And the kids now do it too. Yummmmmmm....
