St. Paddyricks Day Arrived and Nearly Gone..........

.....time to get off the roads. I had to go downtown today to pick up some papers from the docs office so we stopped at the casino..........what else is new? I managed to leave with some of their money for a change and even Becky won a couple of bucks. Luck of the Irish..........and we're NOT. They had corned beef and cabbage on the menu at the restaurant; but, too early to eat..........even though someone was whining all day long for CB&C.

Stopped at Home Depot and picked up a few goodies and then started home. Getting closer to CB&C so we stopped at the Ranch House..........walked in and were greeted with a big sign that said "Out of Corned Beef". We were asked if we had a "reservation" for a nearly empty restaurant.....told them to forget it and moved on. Next stop......Applebees.......we were greeted with a big "Happy St. Paddys Day" sign..........asked them if they had CB&C. The greeter looked at us like we were a little nutso and then she said "that's not on the menu". Next stop.........a truck stop, the Daybreaker Cafe..........the line waiting to get in reminded me of the line at a Cat House on payday night. We moved on again and this time to Parrish's Restaurant and Bar. We found a line similar to the Daybreaker. Passed a Chinese Restaurant and figured that CB&C wouldn't be on their menu..........passed a Mexican Restaurant and came to same conclusion as Chinese Restauant. One last restaurant to try before we ran out of them............the Foothills Eatery. No lines waiting so we ordered the CB&C. Had salad, soup and a large platter of potatoes, cabbage, carrots and some other stuff. The CB was sliced paper thin and the cook apparently wasn't in a "giving" mood as the portion of CB wasn't too great. It did have a good flavor and there was enough other stuff to fill up with. Also had some desert that was included in the dinner...........less than $20.00 for two dinners so guess we shouldn't complain too much.

Next year............I'll just go to the grocery store and "B" can concot her own CB&C.

Gotta get serious about packing stuff up tomorrow as the "heat" seems to have arrived. We got home about an hour ago and I've still got the A/C running.

All for now. W&B
