putting the she in shenanigans

As some know, I write a beer blog (oft neglected and overlooked) called Shenanigans with Dave. I haven't updated in a minute, have some overdue posts. Will update it with some time coming up. 

Since starting the blog, there have been many Shenanigans related things that have come into my life. One of my favorites is this t-shirt in the picture below. 

Pronouns aside, I put the She in Shenanigans. Maybe you put the They in Theynanigans. Or hey - why not you putting the He in Henanigans. My sister said that we're excited to have WEnanigans, and I thought that was a riot.

No matter what, enjoy your gender based or gender free St. Patrick's day. 

Last night for dinner I did the full boiled dinner dealie. Corned beef, potatoes, cabbage, carrots. I had the heat on too high and the corned beef burned a little to the bottom of the pot, but that gave that side of the meat an almost pan seared texture and flavor. I kind of really liked it. Everything else came out great too, even though I didn't follow the instructions exactly, and we ended up with slightly overcooked veg. I put the veg in too early, I guess. The meat was supposed to hang out by itself for like an hour. 

No harm, no foul though. And with the left over liquid/veg I'm pondering a soup. 

Anyway, today being St. Patrick's and a Friday, I have allowed myself a beverage. I've managed to be 100% alcohol free for the triglycerides since last weekend. Doug was a little mad at me the other night that he opened a bottle of wine and I didn't join him. "What, you expect me to drink this alone?" Yah dude, you are going to have to because I'm the picture of restraint and self control. Geoff bought Guinness and Red Ale, so I made a couple half and halfs, and we had a lot of fun tonight.

Here's evidence of my shirt and my face. Happy St. Patrick's Day to all!
