HAPPY ST. PADDY’S DAY to you all. That was great, Neo. I am making my St. Paddy’s Day dinner. Corned Beef, Cabbage, and Colcannon. Colcannon I make came from a recipe that I got in a Cooking Class many yr ago. Mashed Potatoes, with Leeks and Cale, plus lots of Butter. Unfortunately, no Irish Whisky or Guiness. Do have a nice Dark Beer though. Will try to find “The Quiet Man” to watch.
Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona daoibh go léir!
Is lá iontach é a bheith Éireannach!
Sláinte agus táinte!
In honor of St Patrick’s day: One of the best historical novels I’ve ever read…’The Year of the French’, by Thomas Flanagan, is set in Ireland in 1798, when the French revolutionary government landed 1000 troops in County Mayo to support indigenous Irish rebels, with the objective of overthrowing British rule in Ireland. Ralph Peters calls it “the finest historical novel written in English, at least in the twentieth century.” My review:
