Mine too - I really don’t care for corned beef or boiled cabbage. Luckily DH feels the same way despite his Irish heritage, so as long as we do a nod to the holiday with some Guinness, it’s all good. 
Speaking of beer, I had my first Smithwick’s on our pub crawl the other day - an Irish red Ale now produced by Guinness. Delightful, even for an only-very-seldom beer drinker like me.
It was enjoyable. The local brand of corned beef , from Shasta lake was not available. I went with a popular brand . Though good. Will I be making it again. MMMMMM… I don’t think so .
The stew sounds good, and the soda bread looks awesome! Is there a recipe for the bread you can share?
Let me ask mom and get back to you!
Pearl barley, butternut squash, mushrooms, broth, apple cider vinegar and a hint if cinnamons - more of a fall dish but the temperature last night was below 5C - that counts as a cold wave in SF
Damn - that looks yummy.
don’t worry, you’ll get there!
looks grand!
see? look at that fatty goodness!
oh that stew! drooling…
Time for COTQ nominations - here’s the thread! Spring 2022 (Apr-June) Cuisine of the Quarter - NOMINATIONS
Oh, my bad. Now I see the pan. What a tasty meal.
So many delicious sounding dinners! The photos are inspiring every day. Must up my dinner game.
Unfortunately, it didn’t sit well with me. I was awakened at 1 a.m. with some “issues”. 
Thanks
Such creativity, wow! 
We enjoyed a fabulous wine dinner at Bistro D’Azur in South Orange, NJ. The chef was gracious enough to let us bring our own wines.
So sorry to hear that Linda, I hope it’s only the eggs not sitting right.
My husband is happy with cereal for Supper, not me. I prefer either an Appetizer of sorts or something cooked - eggs are quick, versatile and there’s something amazing about a runny egg on pasta.
Tonight my husband and I weren’t very hungry so I decided to make Ina Garten’s appetizer with fig preserves, goat cheese, fresh figs drizzled with Balsamic vinegar (IG tops it with a bit of microgreens which I’ve omitted) served on a Calabrese style baguettes (this also is good on lightly toasted potato bread or light rye if you prefer also lightly toasted). Recipe from Modern Comfort Food.
P.S.
The boys enjoyed whatever leftovers they could find in the fridge. This is my kind of Supper easy peasy.
Long week.
A very long week.
But I will have 1, if not 2, new thrones in my half and full bathrooms tomorrow, depending on how long demo takes in the half bath by my BIL. There might be no vanity, there might be no sink, there might be no new lighting, and it might still need to be painted, but there should be a new throne and new flooring.
So yeah. There’s that.
Made an easy dinner: thin-cut pork chop with Mike’s Hot Honey and bourbon-glazed mushrooms, with steamed asparagus alongside.
No starch, but oh yes. There was wine.
Oh…and the new paint color is in keeping with my tendency to mostly use food-named colors: Smoked Oyster.
