Happy St. Patrick's Day 2022
Wednesday - On a beautiful spring-like afternoon I met up with two Irish friends, John and Tom and walked around the neighborhood where local pubs and restaurants are setting up for St. Patrick's Day celebrations. They insisted I take home some corned beef and cabbage for dinner. Delicious.
Thursday - If you live in Bay Ridge stop at Mike's Deli on 4th and 96 Street. I took a St. Patrick's Day pic of everyone today and got rewarded with fresh Irish Soda Bread, corned beef and cabbage. Yummy! As I am going Irish this week I wanted it noted for the record that back in the day as a Jewish Mom I made an amazing brisket along with my special recipe for noodle pudding.
Originally recorded during WWI by famous tenor John McCormack.
The year was 1939 and WWII had started when Big Crosby recorded it.
83 years later ... could we be on the brink of WWIII?
