St. Joseph's Day 2013

Fish is a pretty traditional dish for St. Joseph's Day in countries where it's observed. Today I had to settle for a Filet-O-Fish sandwich from McDonald's due to having class tonight.

St. Joseph's Day 2013

Went to dinner on Saturday with Dale and some friends to Nona Rosa's in Robbinsdale. They had choppino on the menu and since St. Joseph's Day was coming up and fish is a traditional St. Joseph's Day dish in countries where the feast day is observed, I figured I'd get a jump on things and order the dish even if it was a couple day's early.

St. Patrick's Day 2013

Went to dinner last night with Dale and some friends to a place called Mama Rosa's in Robbinsdale. Obviously, it was Italian but they said they were offering beer cheese soup in honor of St. Patrick's Day. Now, I would have guessed beer cheeese soup to be more native to Wisconsin than to Ireland but, hey, it sure tasted good.

St. Patrick's Day 2013

I had lunch with Noel yesterday at George and the Dragon and in honor of St. Patrick's Day I ordered the bangers and mash. I've never had this dish before and I found it to be very delicious. The sausage almost had the consistency of pate, but not quite. I looked the dish up online and some sources say it's British while some say it's Irish and some say it's both. Regardless, it was great.
