Ides of March and St. Patrick’s Day this week.
We have left over pulled pork so BBQ sandwiches on Saturday seems like a good idea. On Sunday, we picked up a corned beef brisket to prepare an Irish meal.
Saturday: Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwiches. This is an old picture. We didn’t actually have the pineapple and Cole slaw. Next time we will again.
Sunday: Corned beef and cabbage with parsnips, carrots, onions and potatoes.
