Happy St. Patrick's Day

I actually looked forward all year to corned beef and cabbage like last year for this St. Patrick's Day, but Joe missed the last piece of corned beef available at the meat shop. We had just talked we had craving for Joe's BBQ ribs. So why not BBQ ribs for St. Pat's Day? Goes really good with black-and-tan. All I had to make was mushed rutabaga-potato and coleslaw. Oh so good! So good.

During lent this year we've been having okonomiyaki (Japanese cabbage pancakes) with squid and shrimp. At least Joe happily devours it, unlike plain ol' fish on Friday.  

Joe is better at frying okonomiyaki, crispy outside and soft and moist inside.
