St. Paddy's Day = Corned beef, cabbage, taters, and Guinness and TD by the gallon.

It's also what I have for my birthday, wedding anniversary, New Years, Cinco de Mayo, Bunson Burner Day...

That's a whole flaming bowl of flatulence

Wouldn't that be awful, Ted? To eat until you pop?

Yes, like in Monty Python's, The Meaning of Life.

With a big dollop of mustard on the side of the plate, this is darn hard to beat. But you forgot to add a few carrots and onions in there! Boil everything together until the beef is tender, then coat it it in our secret recipe of molasses and spices, and roast it till crispy on the outside.... HEAVEN!!!

But I LOVE a good roast pork boston butt. Before I had to go gluten free, I would get it sliced, and pack the slices with stuffing, tie it up, and roast it. Now, just the roast itself, with spuds, carrots, onions and garlic.

Then again, it is pretty tough to beat some good chicken, I don't care how it is cooked. My favorite parts being the tail, neck and back. Same with turkey.

Good braised/roasted trotters are tops too...

I just need to stop... I could write all night... I love good food!
And genuine USMC creamed beef... Always makes me happy.

That is perfect except no Black Pudding.

This past end of October held a harvest party. Home made chicken noodle soup with range fed organic chicken and real home made noodles. Home made tomato soup with lots of basil, garlic, onion, rosemary and parsley. Fresh from the crock Kim Chi, home made saurkraut, fresh brine pickles and green tomatoes. Brined eggplant with onion, garlic, parsley and hot red pepper. Baba Ganoush (eggplant dip), home made hummus (one plain and one with jalapano peppers blended in). Mulled apple cider and mulled red wine. Good red wine, imperial stout and Edradour scotch.

TG day will be range fed turkey stuffed with apple, celery and onion for moisture and flavor. Garlic rosemary mashed taters. Mashed turnips with butter and black pepper. Have the neeps and tatties covered there. Home made squash pies. Baked acorn squash. Labnah (thick middle eastern yogurt) dip with grilled bell pepper. Hot yeast rise rolls. Chestnut dressing and oyster dressing. Possible ham.

Being from Texas a big bowl of Menudo for breakfast is grand. Growing up in New Orleans a big plate of red beans and rice hits the spot.

Well, all of the talk about food got me to thinking. And while I didn't get close to the 'overfull feeling' stage, this morning's breakfast was quite filling.

Everything was purchased locally, and with the exception of the tea, black & white puddings and tomato, produced within 200 miles. (The tomato had a BC hot house label, so it was still somewhat local ). A local meat market sells a good bacon that they cure themselves and they make their own sausages.


With a little bit of work, and taking time to make some blueberry scones using frozen berries from the bushes alongside my house, I had a wonderful, full breakfast, including the black pudding.

Take a look at the 1 o'clock position, beside the tomato. No these were not Heinz brand baked beans. They are baked beans made by the local meat market for their weekly barbecue, and available for sale at their delicatessen counter. I've had the Heinz beans, and these have a richer flavour.
