St. Patty's Day

Ever since the earthquake/ tsunami/ nuclear power plant crisis in Japan, we've come to appreciate our normal daily routines even more. Fortunately, so has my family in Japan, though we still fear for their having small earthquakes on and off since.
So being able to cook just as normally has a whole new meaning now. In my beloved red pot was Irish stew cooking on this St. Patrick's Day.
After dinner at home we went out to have beer, local brew, at Vierling. Our not so Irish St. Patty's Day tradition.
