Fishing & Corned Beef

This weekend the temps reached almost 60 in the sun. This morning was still a little chilly, about 35, but we went fishing on the break wall. The early melt supposed to have started the spring salmon/ steelhead run. Though we had no expectation of catching any, we put on our warm layers of clothes to make our first cast of the season. The lake was calm, but there was some skim ice closer to the shore. We lasted about an hour. No fish for us, no fish for other fishermen.

Then Joe treated us to warm cups of coffee and donuts afterwards. It was so worth being chilled.

For dinner tonight I cooked corned beef and cabbage, celebrating St. Patrick's Day a few days early. As always, this once a year feast was a welcome treat. We surely have plenty of leftovers to enjoy on the actual 17th, plus to make a couple of corned beef sandwiches for lunch this week. Happy St. Pat's Day!
