Happy St. Paddy’s Day

I know we all have heard the phrase “Erin go Bragh” when St. Patrick’s Day is approaching. I also know that many us that are Irish on that one day only have no idea what it means. Erin go Bragh is the anglicisation of an Irish language phrase, Éirinn go Brách, and is used to express allegiance to Ireland.

So Erin go Bragh to all of my true Irish friends and all of us wannabes.

I will be cooking my traditional Oven Braised Corned Beef with Irish Beer and Irish Whiskey on St. Paddy’s Day along with Mrs. Hogan’s The Best Ever Irish Soda Bread,. Click on the links or photos you will go directly to the recipes. This year I am going to cook my cabbage a couple of different ways just to shake it up a bit and keep things interesting. I am going to prepare roasted cabbage and sautéed cabbage besides the cabbage I cook with the Corned Beef. After making cabbage three ways I have decided that I like cabbage cooked all ways.

To finish the meal I thought my Apple Bread Pudding would be approbate to complete this Irish Feast along with a cup of Baileys Irish Cream Coffee. I’m sure you all know how to make this delicious coffee – coffee, a shot of Baileys, whipped cream and optional chocolate shavings. I don’t know if I can wait until St. Paddy’s Day for this meal.
