Good 33º dark and gloomy Day Of The Irish morning!
Although Maggie is of Scottish heritage as well as me, I am half Irish! My father's family came from Ireland, settled in the South, and fought in the Revolutionary War.
Only about 1/4" of rain yesterday, but the summit got some
white stuff...
Happy St. Paddy's from Maggie, Harley Dude, and me!
Don't forget to wear your green today, lest ye get pinched!
May God grant you many years to live,
For sure he must be knowing
The earth has angels all to few
And Heaven is overflowing.
For sure he must be knowing
The earth has angels all to few
And Heaven is overflowing.
These things I warmly wish to you-
Someone to love
Some work to do
A bit o' sun
A bit o' cheer
And a guardian angel always near.
So I have my green pants to wear today, a green shirt, and green sox and some green earrings. Can't pinch me!!!
I went to town yesterday for cracked corn, a chicken, and some broccoli to make Laura's casserole. At Ace I asked Dave what he was doing for Nancy for her birthday. He said she wanted to stay home and make corned beef and cabbage. About 4pm I went up to Nancy's ... took her some of those V-8 biscuits to go with their dinner, a couple of unique beers (she likes beer), and some blueberry muffins for coffee this morning. We sat and chatted in front of her big picture window and watched the rain. Skeeter was being a love...
Came home and made Laura's Italian Broccoli:
1 large bunch broccoli
1 small onion chopped
8 cloves fresh garlic peeled and chopped
enough olive oil to saute onion and garlic
1 cup bread crumbs
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg lightly beaten
salt pepper and garlic powder to taste
Boil or steam broccoli until tender. Drain and mash as you would with potato, leaving bits of broccoli.
In a large skillet sauté onions and garlic until tender. Add broccoli and stir to mix. Add bread crumbs and cheese, stir until well blended. Remove from heat and add egg. Stir and season. Place in casserole dish and heat at 350º for 15 minutes. Serves 6
Dinner was Italian broccoli, deli ham, cheese curds, and chicken.
Thank you Laura!! (and Marie for sending this)
You have got to watch this...
It's live streaming video with sound of an eagle sitting on her nest of 3 eggs that will hatch sometime in the next few (2-3) weeks.
This is in Iowa.
Historically this date...
1756 – Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated in New York City for the first time (at the Crown and Thistle Tavern).
1985 – Serial killer Richard Ramirez, aka the "Night Stalker", commits the first two murders in his Los Angeles, California murder spree.
Reading about his list of victims is sickening. He killed 14+ people
And births this date include...
He lives close by, near Central Point Oregon, and is WEIRD!
I think it's that "I'm famous and entitled"... thing.
1955 – Gary Sinise, American actor
YEAH GARY! What a great American!!!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Thursday.
A few elk up on the hill behind the barn this morning...
Happy St. Patrick's Day

Sue,
What a sweet look Maggie has on her face. So cute. It's "Don't I look cute"? Your friend's dog Skeeter looks like a love.
Thanks for the recipe for the Italian Broccoli. I will copy it and print out for my notebook.
Will you be going out today wearing all your green? I had planned to go to the PHRWF mtg tonight at Marie C's for their delicious corned beef but decided since I had so much to do that I would stay home. I will be gone from John for the whole weekend so decided to make us a nice dinner tonight instead. (Filet mignon) Had the corned beef and cabbage earlier this week.
Expecting another shipment from Omaha any minute now! :)
Have a good green day!
Hugs, Trisha
Of course I'll wear my green today. Maggs and I will run to town for her meds refills. I won't be having corned beef. Too much to fix for just me. Got a chicken in the crockpot for Maggie and Harley. One chicken lasts about 4 days, with them eating it in the morning and evening. I get some too!

Awwhh, now that is a picture for the Gods! Your sweet lady with her shamrocks on & that look on her face just makes one want to kiss her right between the eyes:)

Happy Saint Patrick's Day. The iinner part of my eyes is green (rimmed in blue) so I'm cool on the green thing.
That broccoli dish look delicious. Maybe I'l try tonight. First- a deadline to meet.
You will like the broccoli dish, green eyes. Say, I have some very fruity raspberry cabernet with the label "Green Eyes"... I shall sip on that. xo
