We celebrate St. Patrick's Day. i love to watch the parade

in NYC [on TV], and listen to Celtic music. Tonight my

dh will be eating his corned " berf " ~ that's what i like to

call it *lol* ~ and i will be having a Quorn roast!

i am going to make boiled cabbage, carrots, onions and

turnips; i just add some sea salt and a few drops of liquid

smoke to the brew. Then i have to make mashed potatoes,

veggie gravy and corn. Malt vinegar is a standard table

condiment along with a jar of horseradish.

Mmmmmm.

 

i also celebrate Ostara/Spring Equinox, but for that i will

probably just make a quiche or a nice pasta dish with spring

salad greens. i have a really nice cookbook called:

'Recipes From A Vegetarian Goddess' by Karri Allrich, and

it has a lot of nice recipes and ideas for Festival Menus;

i highly recommend this cookbook.

Here is a list of the Spring Equinox/Ostara Menu:

 

Curried Stuffed Eggs

Cilantro Pesto

Cream of Carrot Soup

Fettuccine with Asparagus and Lemon

Golden Carrot Cake

Tell me, men of learning, what is Longing made from?

What cloth was put in it that it does not wear out with me?

Gold wears out, silver wears out, velvet wears out, silk

wears out, every ample garment wears out - yet Longing

does not wear out.

Great Longing, cruel Longing is breaking my heart every day;

when I sleep most sound at night Longing comes and wakes me.

~ Excerpt from an old Cymric (Welsh) poem
