THE LEPRECHAUN
The Leprechaun is an Irish fairy. He looks like a small, old man (about 2 feet tall), often dressed like a shoemaker, with a cocked hat and a leather apron. According to legend, leprechauns are aloof and unfriendly, live alone, and pass the time making shoes. They also possess a hidden pot of gold. Treasure hunters can often track down a leprechaun by the sound of his shoemaker's hammer. If caught, he can be forced (with the threat of bodily violence) to reveal the whereabouts of his treasure, but the captor must keep their eyes on him every second. If the captor's eyes leave the leprechaun (and he often tricks them into looking away), he vanishes and all hopes of finding the treasure are lost.
Near a misty stream in Ireland in the hollow of a tree
Live mystical, magical leprechauns
who are clever as can be
With their pointed ears, and turned up toes and little coats of green
The leprechauns busily make their shoes and try hard not to be seen.
Only those who really believe have seen these little elves
And if we are all believers
We can surely see for ourselves.

Mema--the sun did come out for a while yesterday, finally! Then it clouded up and started snowing again as I was driving home. Back in a cold spell for a week or so according to the weather guessers. He's actually talking about wind chill factors this ayem! Yeesh!

DorKable--I'll be praying that your Dad gets a place soonliest, and that the house in SC sells quickly. And you can have tea here in the Lounge, just call it a cuppa hot Long Island Iced Tea!
Becs--playing ketchup here is a hard job. Usually we just jump in where things are and move on.
Not-Me--we are ALWAYS open to new Loungettes! Pull up a bar stool--watch out for the Loungettes lounging on the padded floor--and tell the Tenders what you want to drink!
Wahine--the local bakeries made a big deal about Pi day, and seem to have made quite a profit on it, too! It's actually kind of fun!

Cami, I love what you yam! And as for my weather, it may be nice today, but next week could bring a foot of snow, you just never know what it’s going to be this time of year. The only thing guaranteed is the WIND. OMG, you have the best stories. Catholic school, atheist dad, and how dare you wear ballerina’s to school???
Ha ha, hello Sugar Razor-Thong (ouch).
Kathy, I always have to chuckle at that store called Pubix!
Uh oh, Cami’s D is contagious, now Dorty has it. I hope your tummy is better today. Sawry your daddy feels bad that your mom does not know him. I hope she has days that she does and praying he can get into that home. I'm still looking for you own personal dude, but in the mean time, here are a few for the other gals!
LMAO, Sue looks like you HAVE my zoom net, not that you NEED it! You see goils, my DH says a lot of things “go over my head”, so I use to say dat I needed a ZOOM NET to catch doze tings. Well, we decided dat my ZOOM NET habbed a hole in it. And for the record, he also calls me scarecrow!
Becks, whenever someone says how tired they are, I always think thyroid and vitamin levels, as that was a problem I was having. You can always get those things easily checked out with some simple blood work, unless you detest needles like our sweet NM.
Cami, you don’t sound crabby at all love, but have every reason possible to be crabby iffin you want.
Not-Me……………..been on BCO since 2005 and you haven’t been to The HTL? Why come on in, pull up a stool, grab a drink and a Tender if you like. Welcome!
Oh I hope our warm spell makes it’s way up to you NM.
Lara, you can be as silly as you want, and yes, send over the pictures.
Allergies really kicking in, besides all the sneezing, meese ize and noze iz so itchy!
Happy Day Ladies

NM I like the DOTDsounds yummy and who doesn't like choc. on anyone.
Orange that first picture was not 1/2 as scary as the 2nd one--oops is that someone we know. But the "tan" is a little much.
Oh NM I can only take Fentynol or Tylenol 3--the other ones give me bad heart palpatations. So I took the Tylenol 4 this time--30% more codeinne??? I hope it helps, The patch is just awful to me, I dont like it.--I still had some D this morning so took more meds for that. I know I still have more tests to go
It's glumpy out today no sun--Oh i know it's there just not seeing it.
I was going to go out to lunch with Adey yesterday and had to cancel, today with 2 of my gf's from HS and had to cancel. GRRRRR again.

Traditional Boiled Bacon Dinner.

Bacon and Cabbage.
Shouldn’t that be Corned Beef and Cabbage?
Well, no, it shouldn’t. Bacon and cabbage is a commonly eaten dish in Ireland and while corned beef is eaten with cabbage it is a (relatively) recent arrival from, wait for it, America! How can this be?
To find out, we need to look for a moment into the history of food in Ireland.
In the past beef was a food eaten only by the wealthy. The ordinary Irish people, when they had access to meat at all, would have eaten pork. Because there was no way of storing fresh meat, they made the pork into bacon. This was done at home by simply brining it, or preserving it with salt.
When the era of mass emigration arrived, during and after the famine in the 19th century, Irish emigrants to America found that beef was quite affordable. Still, they treated it in just as they had always treated the meat – pork – they were familiar with at home.
Thus brined beef or corned beef became popular, even traditional, among Irish American families.
Until about the middle of the 20th century, people living in Ireland would never have eaten or been able to obtain corned beef. But returning emigrants and greater ease of trans-Atlantic travel meant that the dish found its way to Ireland.
Nowadays corned beef is widely available in Ireland, but bacon and cabbage is still far more popular. It is a regular meal in Irish homes and often seen on menus, especially at lunchtime in pubs. Many restaurants and pubs serve corned beef also – but mostly those which expect to see a good number of American tourists, since it is a dish visitors expect to find.From the point of view of this recipe it really doesn’t matter whether you use corned beef or bacon – one is an Irish American dish, the other an Irish one, but in either case there will be plenty of tradition on the plate!

St Patricks Day Special No.3 – Traditional Irish Bacon & Cabbage with Mash & Parsley Sauce
Who doesn’t love Bacon and Cabbage! Its as Irish as they come. Their has been many different variations of this recipe, and I have eaten it in many different restaurants. But at Bachelor, we agree that this is one of our favourites. So, with great pleasure, I give you yet another family recipe, handed down through generations. Enjoy !
Difficulty : Easy
Serves : 4
Prep Time : 20 mins
Cooking Time : 120 mins
Ingredients :
- 2kg of Back Bacon
- Head of Cabbage
- 12 Potatoes Peeled
- 2 oz Butter
- Salt & Pepper
- 1/2 Pint of Milk
- Parsley
- Tablespoon of Butter
- Tablespoon of Flour
Method :
Bacon :
Soak overnight in cold water. Put Bacon into a pot of fresh water. Make sure there is enough water to cover. Bring to the boil, and then throw off the salted water. Fill up the pot with cold water again, and bring to to the boil once again. Once Boiling temperature has been achieved, immediately reduce heat and simmer for 90 mins or whatever it needs to be cooked. When the bacon is done, don’t empty the water just yet, we are going to use some of this this to boil the cabbage.
Bacon can be served cold the next day with:
Cabbage :
Wash and cut the cabbage. Using some of the water the bacon was cooked in, throw the cabbage in, and add more water . Bring to the boil, and then simmer for 10-15 mins.
Mashed Potatoes :
Take your potatoes, and cube them. Fill a pot of salted water about half way up and bring the water to the boil. Reduce the heat ever so slightly, and boil for roughly 20mins. Add 1/4 a pint of milk, 2 oz’s of butter. Mash them up. .
Finely Chop some spring onions and add mix them in with the mash.
Turnip & Carrots :
Cook until soft. Mash together.
Parsley Sauce :
Anyone can go out and buy a packet of parsley sauce. And that is exactly what I do.

Black pudding (a sausage made from blood, meat, fat, oatmeal, and bread or potato fillers), white pudding (the same as black pudding minus the blood), and Irish bacon (taken from the back of the pig instead of the belly) are a must at any Irish breakfast.
