St Patrick's day, lets party
We always have a huge St Patick's day party. Our guests number about
30. We start cooking next week. We do wonderful corned beef some in the boiled pot with all kinds of vegies and the baked/roasted in the oven with beer and chili sauce. This is really great. I make all the Irish Soda bread both white and wheat. Fresh Kerigold butter in on the table for dressing the breads and vegies. I grow, yes indeed grow my own shamrocks from seeds from Ireland. We have hot and iced Irish tea, a mint chocolate drink with Vodka...not for the faint hearted. Several types of mustard and horseraddish. The vegies that go with the boiled dinner are Cabbage, new wax potatoes, carrots,parsnips and new onions. I make a giant Irish stew of lamb, potatoes, carrots, onions and peas. So, there is plenty to eat. Dessert is a Triffle, Ice cream balls rolled in green coconut, several cakes and low carb low calorie Key Lime Pie. There are a number who are Diabetics and who know how to eat and eat very well picking and chosing haveing experienced what to eat that is best for them by testing with their meters. I know this seems excessive and self serving but can any of you think of anything to add for more LC choices. Fruit is going to be on board but I feel as though I am missing something and don't want to be a bad host. For my 20+ years with this disease I have tried all kinds of diets and it fits me best to eat modestly but I don't cut carbs or even go out of the way to make them too low. I would seem that the basics of potatoes, rice and pasta are okay with this strange body but an orange will set me off for the day. We are just all different. Guess this is too long but I will get more precise as I learn how to use this computer. Thanks for all you patience. John |

Don't know if one is supposed to reply to their own messages but the
above is written to make me feel really good as to us St Patrick's Day and Spring mean the same things. I is a grazing day, not a sit down and stuff day unless you are able to do that. Take care all and have a blessed St Patrick's day John |
