In honor of Grandpa’s Birthday tomorrow we are cooking his favorite food. Corned beef and cabbage. I can remember him coming in sometimes with just one bag from the grocery store it had a head of cabbage and a package of corned beef. He’d come in smiling and i’ll be looking at him with a slight grin, then he’ll say ‘ ah can you cook this for me? And of course i did.
Grandpa’s last three years were the best. He found a higher power to believe in and it changed him as a man. A better man. We liked this new man, he was nice, gentle, compassionate, kind, and funny. A different Grandpa from that overly strict military man he once was.
Grandpa would eat cb&c at least once every week, it started to get annoying but hell it was nothing to just throw it in a pot and get it started for him, so we did. And in honor of you grandpa aka the black Irishman as we have for the last 5 years on your day March 6 we will be cooking corned beef and cabbage.
Much Love,
