Gray Day

[daidoji_gisei]

In contrast to last Saturday, today is cold, windy, and gray. This is not helpful. I have lots still to do today, but my body is acting as if, having washed a sink of dishes and then picked up paycheck/deposited paycheck/bought groceries, it's done all the work it needs to do today.

I suppose it's partially because I've been feeling so exhausted the past few weeks. Work has been physically and emotionally draining, which sounds melodramatic when I put it in text but there it is. I'm trying to get the sleep I need but things keep happening to pull me off schedule.

As tomorrow is St Patrick's Day, cabbage is really cheap right now. I've picked up a few heads, in hope of finally fulfilling a long-time ambition to make sauerkraut. But maybe I'll lay down first for a few minutes--I almost dozed off writing this.

I'm sorry about the gray. I wish I could send you some of our (temporary, to be sure) sunshine.

Is cabbage big because of, dare I hope, colcannon? I adore colcannon, should make it sometime soon. But it's probably the only Irish dish I know.

I think most people make corned beef and cabbage! But I'm planning on making some colcannon myself. Corned beef is ok, but I don't like it enough to cook that much of it.

I haven't made straight corned beef and cabbage! But I adore colcannon. If only the lizard didn't hate it...oh wait, she hates everything I cook. ^_^ (Yeah.) I just buy corned beef in tins. Although my sister made it once and brought it over, and it was glorious.
