I'm really feeling quite down this morning, for many reasons (pain, isolation, boredom, frustration over the mess Hubby has left in so many rooms, thinking of my mom, being muted in a place where I used to pour out thoughts freely - not here, though). St. Patrick's Day was always celebrated by my mom as a holiday. She made all of the traditional goodies that many Americans do on the day and the family got together. Today, no mention. It's nothing that Czechs celebrate. I thought about at least making soda bread, but realized that we have plenty of bread/rolls already and Hubby doesn't enjoy it. Plus, my shoulder and arm should be left alone, if possible. I am sure that the grocery stores in NJ all have extra cabbage and corned beefs. Hubby doesn't like that, either. Though Czech Republic has plenty of cabbage, I don't think they have any corned beef roasts. One would likely have to spice them themselves.
